Feeling rough today

Oof... was a long long weekend. We did manage to accomplish 5 things, though.

  1. Picked out rings. After a visit to Christian Caine, we managed to pick out a set of rings. They're simple, clean, and perfect for us. Along the way, we even got a little education in modern "pearl-dom". Do YOU know what a pearl coin is?

  2. Finished cutting the grass. With the horse trailer being the way it is, it was a pain to get the ol' John Deere out of it. But, we did manage to finish by Saturday afternoon.

  3. Went for a harley ride. Took a nice, breezy relaxing ride up to Hagerstown on Saturday. Put in a lil' country music (Keith Urban), a lil' sun on my back, and an hour to just hear the rumble of the rush pipes.

  4. Fixed the horse trailer. After tearing off the handle, my neighbors helped me grind off the old lifting unit and attach a whole new one on it. Say it with me "Sparks were a flyin' out there!" Put that into the man's manual: anything with a power hand-held grinder, which spins at crazy RPM's, and creates a shower of sparks is defintely, definitely a top 10 on the testosterone chart.

  5. Moved the big stuff. Tara had a big armoire, a 7' tall bookcase (apparently made of lead), and a kitchen island (used as a desk) to move to the house. We did it in one load, and managed to shred her and I physically, along with stunting a highschooler's growth at the same time. But that second part is okay, the kid is 6'6" and is only a friggin sophomore. His time to stop growing taller is NOW.
Sorry about the lack of a rant today, but trust me... I am currently stirring one. I just need to work some of the minor details out before putting it in writing.

At least you managed to get stuff done. The only thing I did this weekend was discover the wonders of baby oil. Other than that, I didn't have motivation to do ANYTHING.

Oh, and if I haven't mentioned... 'grats.
