A couple of weeks ago, I finished up book 7 of the Robert Jordan insanely long book saga (12 books in all – the last currently being written). Jeff, who got me reading them, can’t seem to find book 8. Now, as much of a slog as this series has been at times, [...]
Yes indeed – lots happening. The permit should be ready tomorrow – I’ll make another run out there to pick it up and pay the final fees.
We went out on Friday to have a post-Thanksgiving picnic and just hang out. The tractor work started last week, so there were a few tractors out [...]
So it wound up being Chinese rather than Denny’s, which is probably a good thing I suppose. Though their soup was about the spiciest Chinese soup I’ve ever had. Not spicy in the “My mouth is on fire!” kind of way, but more in the “I just inhaled a plate full of pepper [...]
Early Sunday morning… Sarah ran to the store to get stocked up for Thanksgiving and beat the crowds. My parents and sister are coming on Wednesday which should make for a great holiday. We’re planning a picnic out on the property on Friday if the weather permits. We also have a prime [...]
Well, the plans have been resubmitted, and hopefully we’re a couple days away from a permit. I have a stack of stuff I need to get to the loan company to get that rolling, and I need to figure out how much I can do before that clears. I’ve been waiting on the [...]
Down in Modesto, with a busy day ahead. Hoping to get the last of the revisions done, the plans printed and copies made so I can head to Nevada City tomorrow and resubmit. Whee!
The weekend was interesting. The gas company came on Friday and found lots o’ leaks in the water heater. [...]
Off to the cabin tomorrow morning for a weekend with our friends and their kids. It will be close quarters, which is always a bit crazy, but the kids get along really, really well. Grown-ups get along pretty well too.
For a while now, there’s been a smell of gas in the closet. [...]
Found an excellent park on Saturday – right in downtown Grass Valley. A huge, crazy sprawl of stockade-style platforms and hiding places. Things to climb, bridges, slides… Really great. We had to circle it a couple of times to figure out where to park which I find oddly refreshing in retrospect. [...]
Ahhh Friday. Day o’ the Pizza Picnic. We’ve done it for a while now…
We order a pizza – these days its Mountain Mike’s since that’s the only kind the (extremely picky) Cowboy will eat. We try to have a Netflix movie on tap, or failing that make a quick run to Blockbuster. [...]
So have you seen the commercials for the depression medicine?
I see them all the time, and my reaction bounces between being really angry, and thinking the commercials themselves are pretty funny. Which makes you wonder if I am, in fact, bi-polar. I’m not, I assure you.
The mad part is that I [...]
