Sunday
 

Good morning/afternoon.:)

Today, Ken and I are driving up to Arlington to pick-up some marble columns/plant stands I got off e-bay. They are from the US capitol before the recontruction it in 1958- the guy was a photographer and documented the change, they gave them to him as a gift. Kinda cool. **excited dance**

I hope he goes with me- Is rearranging the furniture while he is out drinking, and staying up late to witness trips and groans- laughing hysterically, considered bad thing?:D



This morning I am making breakfast and researching Absinthe. I am prolly going to buy a bottle of Jade Edouard online in a bit. So far it looks to be the best but if anyone has a suggestion that would be great, I want to get an antique prep/serving set-up but I am waiting for a pretty pitchet to catch my eye- and maybe a pretty little flask and spoon to keep out in my studio so I can be like all the other great artists.;) Anyway, it could provide inspiration when I have a block.:D

30 minutes left in my shift. I'm finally off on a Sunday for the first time in a few months. Going to play a little golf this afternoon (or at least attempt to).

Re: Sunday
 

Loading up the boat and heading for the Keys with my wife - its our wedding anniversary tomorrow - going to find a nice little marina - with a cool bar and just chill out for a couple of days.:) :) :)

Re: Sunday
 

well i am going to clean a little, watch the race and I have to go to my moms house to find out how to take care of ALL of her animals, she is going out of town for a week. So........ I have to help. Slow day around here.

Paragon and the kids went to sleep early last night so I stayed up and watched a movie I can't watch around them, Brokeback Mountain. All I have to say is.... Oh my gosh, my eyes, my eyes. :eek:

Re: Sunday
 

That is one movie I will likely be avoiding. :D

I did watch Meerkat Manor on Friday tho. Sex and violence, gotta love it.

Today....not much happening. Was hoping to be Hummerless but my tech shop is now closed on Saturdays, waaah. So now I have to work out dropping the truck off sometime during the week for a much-needed alignment. Being Hummerless during the week sucketh.

Got the kid's play area finished yesterday - 3 cubic yards of mulch put down in less than an hour, whoo hoo! It's actually cooler than 90F right now, so I'll probably take him out and let him loose for the first time. That will be fun. :)

Gotta figure out my garden area too. Fall planting is coming up, I'm going to try planting by the moon phases this year. And planting corn....that should freak out my neighbors. :)

Going to shop ebay for a new CB antenna mount since I tore mine off in bear valley. I think the new one will have a spring mount. :o

Then I'm toying with the idea of finally pulling the dash so I can take it to the body shop for black paint.

If I get that done early enough I'll start getting the RV and boat ready for vacation later this week. :D


Wife is grocery shopping online (first time). Anybody ever try this?

Re: Sunday
 

Yes,

Make sure to order HEAVY things, that's always fun.

Cases and cases of bottles water, beer, dog food, etc:D

Re: Sunday
 

watchin' the world cup and hoping that france loses to Italy. Then the race.

Re: Sunday
 

I've trained my dog to freeze, roll over, whimper, run, yelp, fly, shyt and piss on command. All in less than 30 minutes.

Found another one of his treasure troves.

Re: Sunday
 

time to lay a grid of 12 volt POS and NEG wires ;) :D

Re: Sunday
 

LMAO! Send schematics please.:D

I feel bad for yelling at him. The Chazz is a very sensitive dog.:(

Re: Sunday
 

I've found mine responds well to saying just "wrong". Of course in a much stronger (forceful) voice. She'll even turn around when she decides to take off.

Re: Sunday
 

we made it to Key Largo.

Re: Sunday
 

The hose works well too. Provided the dog is outside. :D

Re: Sunday
 

Yeah that would be nice. But mine thinks it's play time. Hoses, Sprinklers, streams. I've had her hiking and she'll stand in a stream and try to bite the water as it comes at her. The neighbors love to watch when she get's going. I just hate the wet dog in the house thing afterwards.

Re: Sunday

Re: Sunday
 

Holy crap!!! 36V? :eek: I bet you could change a tire with one of those. :D Is it 1/2" chuck?

I think I "need" one for my rig. ;)

BTW - I happen to know you don't need a drill to change a dishwasher. Nice move though. :p

Re: Sunday
 

Nice! Those are the new yamaha 4 strokes? Whats top speed?

Re: Sunday
 

Ended up swinging by Mount Vernon for an hour or so. What a fantastic place to visit. You West Coasties really need to visit the East. Just ask Rocks about some of the places we swung by for an hour or so.:D Just make sure you have a few days to spend in DC.:D

Re: Sunday
 

There's a Mount Vernon in Washington State also.

Re: Sunday
 

:rolleyes:

Re: Sunday
 

Racer - these engines are awsome - whisper quite and economical - I can run at 55mph comfortably and still hold a conversation at the helm.

We ar having a blast - just got back to the boat - fishing tomorrow and then lunch at Carribean Jacks on Blackwater Sound - followed by more fishing and then back to the bar - the perfect way to spend an anniversary.
