05.01.09First of MayWell, it's the first of May already. It's the day when I listen to one of my favorite Jonathan Coulton songs. It's also No Pants Day. So if you're wearing pants take them off.

09.18.08Salsa WeekendBack when we lived in the mobile home we had a garden in our back yard. It was kinda fun growing stuff, and getting awesome fresh vegetables in the fall. We didn't bother planting it during the year in a half it took to sell it, and we haven't planted a garden at our house yet. We probably won't. We got enough room in the back yard, but the way that it's landscaped, we don't really have a good spot for a garden. So three years without a garden means we ran out of salsa. After ...

08.05.08Weekend Deck MaintenanceI haven't been online much since Thursday. I miss Twitter and I am way behind in my RSS reading. What have I been up to? Well, the In-law were over for the weekend and we worked on our deck. We got most of it done, but due to rain on Sunday, we didn't finish. We just need to do a little more work on the stairs and then stain it. Here are some before and after pictures. Before After Now time to get to work on the deck. I am hoping to have some Internet time ...

07.25.08One YearOne year ago today we moved into our new house. It doesn't feel like we have been here that long already. We still haven't painted our bathroom yet. That was the first thing we were going to do. We ended up doing a bunch of other things first. I haven't posted any pictures here yet, mostly out of laziness. I don't know if anybody really wants to see house pictures anyway. Oh well, I am off to work tonight for another long weekend at work. Fun stuff.

07.13.08HammockFor most of the summer we have been looking for some kind of lawn chairs for the yard. We have a table and chairs on the deck, but nothing in the yard. Two weekends ago we decided to get a hammock. Since we have only one tree in our yard we needed a stand for the hammock. We looked all over town and couldn't find one, so I ordered one online. It came this weekend, so we also bought a hammock for it this weekend. Who knew a hammock would cost so much. ...

05.30.08Weekend MessOh yeah, I forgot to mention the mess we came home to. My Wife had a little list of things for her Brother to do. It was nothing crazy. Just keep the house cleaned up, do your dishes, lock the doors when you leave, get the mail, and no parties. He wasn't home when we got home, doors were all unlocked, mail boxed was packed full, not a clean dish in the cupboard. He didn't do anything on the list. I knew there was trouble as soon as we drove into the garage. It smelled like a ...

05.10.08Rhubarb PatchOne of my biggest memories from my Grandma's old house is the rhubarb patch she had in her backyard. As a kid I remember running back there with a cup of sugar and just picking and eating as much as I could. One of the pluses about our new house is that we have our very own rhubarb patch in our backyard. I ate quite a bit of it last summer, and I can't wait until it's big enough to eat this year. I like eating it raw, but I am sure we will pick some ...
