The night didnt plan out as I had hoped. I swear not even Mother Nature wanted me to have a good post season party. Not only did we get rained out, we got rained out with a vengeance. It started raining HARD right at 6:00, when we were supposed to start our family game. All in all, only FOUR girls showed up. Plus their families of course. That left nine that didnt. NINE. Back to the "I dont get it" syndrome.

But the pizza and video games were enjoyed.


Time to put the kids to bed and go to the mancave. I wont be around too much tomorrow. I REALLY want to get the boat done before it gets too cold.

Good night everyone!!!

Every Friday the 13th reminds me of October, Friday 13, 2000. Floating through the Bermuda Triangle at midnight under a full moon on Friday the 13th of the new millinium. And it was some of the smoothest seas I had ever seen. It literally looked like glass. No swells, no ripples, no visible currents, just... nothing. It was cool and eerie at the same time.

WHEW what a morning. My alarm clock app actually worked this morning! Still a few minutes late to work though. Unfortunately, the snooze button worked this morning too.

Been really busy this morning, and it shows. The warehouse floor is finally as empty as it can get. Im caught up on all of the receiving, all of the shipping, and I still managed to get to the field to help with two installs this week.

I also got Mrs E convinced to go to the boating store and get something called "muffs". She asked what they were and what they were for, and I said all she had to do was walk in the door and yell "I NEED A PAIR OF MUFFS!!!" and they would understand. I dont think she believed me though. But its one more thing I needed. Now I can think about starting the motor in the driveway. Tomorrow will be more stuff to get put on. Now that I think I have almost everything I need, I may actually be able to get all of the cleats, hinges, and wood trim on. Then reattach the gas filler tube and start working on the electrical. After that, I can finish the upholstery, then its on to the motor!

Tonight is out team's post season party. Still two parents I havent heard back from. The same two that I havent gotten a single email reply from all season. I finally gave up on trying to get a head count. I finally said screw it. Now, we will play our family game, then go to the pizza parlor and let everyone buy their own pizza. That way we wont end up with too much or too little, and a family of 3 wont have to pay as much as a family of 6. And they have beer there. And pool tables. And video games. I just wish I had thought about it three weeks ago instead of last night. It wouldve saved me a LOT of brain aches.




I get a name change now too? Sweeeeeeet.



OMG that sounds so good. Then again, of course it does. It has bacon.

That reminds me. Mrs E has finally NOT killed a tomato plant. For the last ten years, shes tried one tomato plant every season. And for ten years, shes killed each of them. So this year, I bought a shepards hook and took a 5 gal bucket, and made my own "Topsy Turvy" tomato plant hanger. Put a hole in the bottom, ran the plant through it upside down, and filled it with potting soil. We pulled our first tomatos off of it a few days ago. I wish we had more, but Im very happy that this one is at least yeilding fruit. Fresh 'maters are so much better than store bought.



I was in bed!



Swing by Clover, SC. I'll give you some. Seriously.

I would say try to find one of the GA Posse folks, but its not my place.



HOUSE!!! YOU NEED HOUSE!!!!



Yes. Yes she is. (referring to the pie.)



Im not gonna like that. Thats beyond not cool.
um.... wasnt that the whole post? I thought there was something specific that made you fall in love with me all over again.

I love you Drott.I really really really do.
Me too. If it werent for her, I wouldve never tried a Stardust and I wouldve been non-variable-voltage-vaping for MUCH longer.
