Did everyone miss me? You don’t have to answer that, I know your answer. ” You were gone?”

Well it’s been like 12 days since the last post and I wish I could say that we had just gotten back from a wonderful Anniversary vacation to Hawaii, but I cannot. Or in the words of Busy Dad.. it was “my crazy schedule which consisted daily of work and conference activities during the day, official banquets with government folks at night (where much drinking ensued), followed by unofficial but essential business-building activities that lasted until early morning”, but again I cannot.

No … I have just been lazy, unmotivated and basically noting interesting has happened in the last 12 days. We did finally get to actually use the deck for something other than a place to put my grill last night, the neighbors across the street came over and the women drank themselves silly while I kept the firepit going.

We had a little issue with the heat from the firepit heating up the composite decking below it, hopefully the water I threw under it and the scrap wood blocked the heat enough not to ruin the decking already. We shall see when I get home. Looks like another building project.. Build something for the firepit to sit on so it don’t ruin my deck project. This one I KNOW will be quick and easy.

Well, until the next time the ladies get together for their fireside sex chat I am signing off, gotta grab that phone call and make some money.
