…are mothers and cell phones… you are not going to break it, and running out of battery isn’t going to hurt anybody… JUST LEAVE THE DAMN THING ON.  The point of a cell phone is to use it, and allow people to reach you no matter where you are. 

 

Both my mother and Sherry’s mother are cool enough to have cell phones, yet… neither one of them can EVER be reached by it.  What’s the point?!!?

 

Sorry… just had to vent.

Fun with Saddam and his court room antics.

Amzanig huh?

I have some pictures that I need to post, but the renovation is going nicely. We have put up our first coat of mud everywhere… and the 2nd coat on most of the den. We should be ready to paint on Thursday and do the trim work on Friday and Saturday, at which point the rooms will basically be done. The carpet will still need to be installed, and furniture added. But the major work will be done.

Didn’t do much for the 4th, Shawn, Regina, Sherry and I went over to Pearl’s where Shawn and I mowed the yard. Shawn then took us on a 4th of July tour of all the poor sections of Hampton Roads. Since that wore us out, Sherry and I took a veg day and watched a couple of movies and fireworks from the comfort of our couch.

So underneath our house we have been housing some racoons. Apparently they had been playing with our duct work, and I decided to go under the house yesterday because one of our rooms was feeling unusually muggy and their was some water forming near the A/C unit. As Sherry correctly guessed, one of the vents had come loose and was causing our A/C unit to crank way harder then it needed to. Luckily it was a quick fix and the ductworks has been secured and the underneath of the house sealed up.

I have heard about this 4d pre-natal scan… but seeing it is something else!

Check out this link from MSNBC, absolutly amazing.

The upstairs bedroom is done with hanging the sheet rock! The ceiling in the den is done and all the lights have been wired and the speaker wire is done.

I am taking Tuesday and Wednesday off to work on ModelExchange and then we are going to knock out the walls in the den and start “muddin”

Interesting article that I am copying from Gatoreena…

10 Foods you should never put in your body

So I have purchased the components needed to update the wiring in the Den to be half as cool as I would like. It will have two ethernet (internet) jacks on either side of the built-in entertainment center and in-wall speaker jacks to plug audio out cables from the back of the reciever into.

Pretty cool what you can do when you take the walls and ceiling off a room.

My sister Leigh is going on the second part of their Lewis and Clark expedition Saturday. They have / will continue to bike most of the trail and ending this 2nd phase with a canoe section that will closely match the original trip performed by the Lewis and Clark corp so many years ago.

You can follow their adventures online!

Just to give further context… she works at Western Carolina in their Talent Search outreach department

Good Luck Leigh and Crew! Be safe.
