It was a long day yesterday, ten-and-a-half hours replacing an old oil heater with a new gas heater, up in Greenwood. Had the job finished around 6pm and everything was great, but guess what, grandpa got a call today and it turns out that that brand new heater has a faulty control board. Shit happens. There's a temporaty solution in place until a new control board can be gotten and installed.

I took this shot on 31 Decembre, as we were headed to Penticton for New Year's Eve. Between the Anarchist Summit (the "r" is silent for some strange reason) and Osoyoos, BC, there's a fairly large rest area with a "break check" across the highway. Someone apparently decided to decorate one of the trees. I saw it when we stopped to let the dog out, and figured "what the hell, film is cheaper than opportunity." So here U are, the Wild Christmas Tree.
