Good morning everybody. How was your weekend?
Jan 27, 2020, 7:48 AM
|

Friday night, fought the fog to go eat at a joint called Kitchen Sync. Had some meatballs with mashed potatoes and a burger. Sharkgirl had some variety of salad. It was pretty good but I cannot recommend their pulled pork.
Saturday, up earlyish to dig out around a drain pipe and clear some privet and such off my fence . Still a lot of work to but some progress was made. Then off to lunch and to have a few beers with RH and the Mrs. Hit up Yee Haw, liked my amber ale. Then off to Shoeless to surprise Sharkgirl. Later that night we discover our favorite taco shop has closed. It says they are relocating but they were open less than a week ago so I suspect something happened as this joint was authentic.
Sunday, slept in, didn't accomplish much. Heard about Kobe and those other folks. Started doing my taxes.

Worked Friday, but the rest was good
Jan 27, 2020, 7:53 AM
|

Fri night - Met fam at Guy's Pizza for pizza and cheesy bread (aren't you proud, Aero?)
Sat - Went to Ingles, hung around the house, took McJr fishing at a pond with brother and nephew and the 4 of us kept 20 delicious bass
Sun - Church in the morning, lunch there afterwards, fooled around on the tractor.
There is a mouse that lives on the tractor. He runs out by my feet approximately 10 seconds after starting the engine. And EVERY SINGLE TIME I shriek like a little girl. I can't not do it.

One of my old tractors
Jan 27, 2020, 9:48 AM
|
|
There was a small hole in the seat. One day I sat down about to start the tractor and I felt something flexing on my back kind of like a pen15 but much longer.
I jumped up and turned to look and a snek was inside the back/cushion of the seat.

not a hole lot
Jan 27, 2020, 7:56 AM

-drywalled my wet bar expansion
-went to go 'inspect' a house for my sister in law to determine if she could make an offer without a real inspection (ended up being so much illegal modifications to the house I told her not to make an offer- There was at least $3-4k in electrical repair alone)
-Had Chicago style pizza for the 2nd time ever. Gotta say, I think I'm hooked now.

Work requiring an inspection not permitted
Jan 27, 2020, 8:03 AM
|
|
Almost all of the wiring in the house was illegal. Half of the house had an open ground, Indoor rated romex used outdoors, etc. I didn't even open the electrical panel but I can bet I'd find at least 10 more things wrong. It had a 200 amp panel on a house built in the 50's. That alone is pretty #### sketch. I'd be willing to bet the service line is too small for 200. Apparently this house had a full price offer contingent on inspection on day 1 of the listing so she was trying to see if she could make an offer not contingent on an inspection. I highly recommended against it. Probably $20k in repairs just to fix all of the dumb stuff the previous h/o covered up/did wrong.

The guy built an outdoor gazebo out of landscape timbers

told sil that the thing will rot out and fall over within 5 years. Too much cheaply built/modified stuff. I know I wouldn't invest in that place.

moving sucks.
Getting the house ready to place on market - in a hurry!
Got contractors coming to assist with expedite this week. Hope to knock this out, and get all stuff moved out in about 2 weeks.
It's amazing how clear your mind can be when you relinquish a burden. I would assume that true of any burden. Mine has been eating at me for a couple years now. Like a weight off.
Onward and upward!
Merry Monday, Jungers!

Friday, home to walk the pup, started drinking beers and making pizza, watched music almost all night, gotta love the era of streaming on smart TVs...Austin Music Live channel on the XUMO app, the Live Replay channel on the Pluto TV app, and the Relix app on YouTube kept me going all night. Did stay up way too late and watched the classic Father Goose with Cary Grant and Leslie Caron.
Saturday, got up and headed to Greenville for a day trip. Went to look at the wedding venue where Joonyer's wedding will be in June, then stopped at the Taylors Mill complex and looked at rehearsal dinner space. Checked out 13 Stripes Brewery and had a pretty good beer. It's an awesome complex and when they get it completely finished, it should be a really hopping entertainment district. Then, went downtown and ate lunch at Yee Haw, aero joined us for a beer, we frowned a lot at Clemson basketball game. Then headed over to Shoeless Brewing to see SharkGirl, who proceeded to try and get me drunk with large samples of every beer they make. Left there pretty buzzed (and glad the Mrs. was driving for once) to get back to RH and take care of the pup. Watched something on TV and fell asleep in the Big Chair, woke up, crashed.
Sunday, lots of coffee, long morning stroll with pup, quick shower and off to grocery for the first run in two weeks. Didn't spend what I was dreading I would, so winning. Home to put groceries away, found out about Kobe while watching boring two hand touch football, flipped over to Circle TV and watched a 3 hour Allman Brothers documentary, which was glorious. Baked chicken breasts, sun dried tomato, spinach, and cheese stuffed portobello mushroom caps, and salad for supper. Back to the couch tour to stream music the rest of the night. Watched a couple of good concerts from Folk Family Revival and Sour Bridges on the Austin Music Live channel.
Pretty laid back weekend, great day trip to Greenville Saturday, the only complaint is that this pulled back muscle lingers to aggravate me and riding in the car Saturday didn't do me any favors. Getting old sucks. Still...247 Sports ranks it as the number one overall weekend of last weekend. Thanks Dabo!

Friday: didn't do much. ate light, watched TV before heading to bed.
Saturday: Went to work for a few hours then to see Myfavjr.'s basketball games. He's 8 and had a double-double the second game. Won both. Went over to my pond and fiddled-farted over there for an hour or so. Listened to the TV while assembling a video game for my son. grilled steak and potatoes, steamed broccoli.
Sunday: worked for a couple of hours, church, ate dinner with Mom. Picked up son from his mom's, took him to church practice, ate pizza, played hockey on PS4, read and bed.

Friday was typical, did a little work and was just kinda lazy
Saturday I worked in the morning from home, then ran some errands with the gf before heading up to Bowen's Landing for dinner. She had the filet mignon and I had the low country boil. Came home and watched a little TV before bed. Made sexy time and fell asleep.
Here comes the PHI part. RIP HIPAA
Woke up at 12am on the dot with a sore achy back. The kinda feeling you have when you've slept in the same position for too long and need to roll over. However that didn't help. the pain was in the middle of my back and when I laid in any position I could feel it through out my entire rib cage. This happened to me Friday the 18th as well. Same exact feeling/symptoms. That night I popped a couple of Aleve's and laid in the recliner. This night I did the same but it didn't help. I couldn't get in any position that felt okish. So around 230 I decided to go to the ER. My BP was high which is abnormal for me and everything else checked out ok. EKG, oxygen, HR, all normal. The doc was like "Oh you prob pulled a muscle heres 1600mg of Motrin and some flexeril". They sent me home feeling much better. Called my doc this AM
Sunday, no clue thanks to all the meds and no sleep Sat night.
RIP Kobe and friends

Rib cage pain must be a sign of getting old. I went through the exact scenario a few years ago right down to the ER visit. Still hits me every 4-5 months.
How is Bowen’s Landing? We went awhile back and swore we’d never go back but we know a lot of folks that love it.
PS - don’t know why t-net won’t let me put a subject on this post

Pulled a lower back muscle a week ago Saturday and it's way better now, but the first day I was immobile, the second day I stayed home and did heat/stretch/Icy Hot and repeat endlessly. Went to the office and came home to work from home Tuesday and Wednesday, more of an annoyance Thursday and Friday but stayed all day. Felt pretty good Friday night, but being in the car so much Saturday seems to have set me back to the annoying stage yesterday and today. Not even sure how I did it...best I can figure was lifting the bass cabinet into the car but I didn't feel anything until a few hours after that. Didn't help to stand around with a 9 pound bass strapped on for 5 hours that Saturday night, I'm sure.

Friday no kids at house so just went out to eat and then chilled. Did have half my upstairs electric blow so running extension cord to master bedroom until I can get electrician there. Went to the UNC vs Miami basketball game on Saturday, very fun. Then Sunday fixed the garage door (a wheel had worn off) and cleaned house all day.

Friday night, went to sleep.
Jan 27, 2020, 9:33 AM
|
|
Sat AM woke and went to nephew's basketball game. Then off to see Dad and fill his bird feeders. Then to grocery store for the weekly run.
We divided and conquered on Saturday. Wife took kids to lunch with her folks after the basketball game. Then she went to Bed Bath and Beyond and bought new bath mats to replace our 17 year old bath mats. Then she went and bought drapes for the dining room (we've been in our house 8 years BTW). She has never purchased drapes in 18 years. She and the oldest son went to Sam's also.
Came back unloaded Sams and groceries.
Sunday were planning to go to church. Oldest son complained night before and wife told him we ALL go to church or no one. So Sunday she wakes up with the middle son's pinkeye. So we don't go to church, although I wanted to take the boys. Sent her a phone app to get a doc to prescribe drops for her eye and I went and got them.
Boys played outside for a while and oldest son and I finished his cub scout project, which resulted in a clean garage.
TLDNR - Not much.

Wife was out of town on Th-Sat
Jan 27, 2020, 10:09 AM
|

So I had the kids all to myself. Friday I worked from home since I had to get kids to school and pick up. Was nice, except I tried a home workout at lunch time since I was being lazy and it made me want to throw up. 10 Burpees, 20 High Knees, 10 pushups, 20 split lunges, 30 second rest, repeat x 5. Quite intense. Picked up kids from school and went to basketball game #1 where the boys played as far out in Rock Hill as you can get without being in Chester County. Quick dinner at Chic-fil-a then basketball game #2 in downtown Rock Hill. Home to veg out on couch and watch Lion King II and Lion King 1-1/2. LK II isn't bad, LK 1.5 sucks.
Saturday morning gym, treadmill for 7+ miles cause cannot leave kids there and run outside. Brunch at the usual spot, fantastic chicken fajita omelette w/o cheese. Home to clean up house - sweep, mop, clean kitchen, dust furniture, put up kids crap. Wife gets home and we finish cleaning and venture out for new tennis shoes for kids and dinner. Moved her car from one repair place to another. Dude wanted $950 for timing belt replacement (among $3600 in suggested repairs). Hon Doc wanted $725 (+/- $1600 total). Got home, Wife missed me, apparently alot.
Sunday up for church, lunch, grocery store, home to change, back to church for BB practice, home for dinner but no gas in grill so grab some pizza. Over to Mom's to help get house ready for Dad to get home and then back to my house to put kids to bed. Off to bed and as much as I missed her, it's fun when wife gets back home.
Up for work, get to Charlotte, wife calls and tells me the car seats are in the back of the truck. Oops. Car will be fixed today and this will not be an issue moving forward.

No down time these days
Jan 27, 2020, 10:18 AM
|

Friday was a bit of a blur, ran around the whole upstate it felt like. Went to check on my boat, went back and forth about bottom painting it. No idea what I'm going to do right now, trailering really sucks, but so would my resale if I paint it. Tough decisions. Still giving it a 'refresh' though, all white and blue striping is coming off. Planning on leaving the sides navy blue with an orange boot stripe, I think it's going to look really good. Also looked at a couple of potential project boats.
Went to the boat show Saturday morning to look at over priced boats. Nothing really spectacular there, although some of the fit and finished were god awful. I was specifically interested in the Bluewave bay boats, but the two that were there looked like they were 4 year old used charter boats. Filthy, discolored vinyl, it'd be hard to buy a boat from a dealer who had no problem bringing boats in that condition to a show. Nautic Star fit and finish was appalling, but I am glad to see the Monster Energy drink-like graphics fad seems to have gone away. Wakeboard boats again were laughably priced for what they are.
I will say, those of you who live on the lake prepare thy anus. Based on some of the tabs these surf boats are running, the local lakes are going to become oceans.
Got home and flew the drone around the lake, confirmed I do have the range to spy on Tigerpride's love cove. Not much after that.
Sunday re-arranged my office/aquarium room into a playroom for little lakebum. He's really taken a liking to my big orange fish Mr. Pablo, so he can watch him swim around now and eat the other fish.
Sunday night moms blood pressure dropped, so had to run over there. She's currently in the ICU, so cancelling appointments for this week, etc. May be a rough one...

Had a bottle share Saturday night, which meant I was cleaning up a good bit of the day, but everything was done.
Sunday, I put down a deposit for a Fisker Ocean and binged Breaking Bad.
Beyond that, pretty uneventful weekend.
