Today I brought home a used kid thing, put it together, cut it up some, then reinforced it elsewhere. Hopefully it will be a fun play spot through the cold months.

The deck is done except for sealing it. Need to figured out when that should be done.

This maple tree outside work is going to extremes for its fall color display.

I got new stairs attached to the deck and covered with treads.

On Wednesday I tore the front deck off the house. The goal is to replace it soon.

The pictures make the old deck look sorta quaint and pleasant, but it was actually twisted, splintery and nasty. Don’t let it fool you with its optical sob story. (:

Saw this on the highway today. Probably a 500+ lb pumpkin. Sucker wasn’t even strapped down and it rocked with every bump. A good pothole and it could have killed someone.

Not every snappy workout quote should go on every size shirt. This one is an XL. Behind it is a 3XL.

Because I wanted fresh crab instead. (:

I got an itch to move away from Facebook a bit and go back to blogging. It actually came from listening to a Freakonomics interview with Wired Magazine founder Kevin Kelly ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Kelly_%28editor%29 ) It’s a good interview, you should listen. Anyway, I’m going to see what I can do to dust this place off and get back to blogging, even if no one is watching.
