    She moved here for me, and the Packers, from the West coast too.

    14 all total.The cottage is 440SF total. There is a 80SF addition/entrance and a 144SF screen porch that weren't used ....(cold and wet)

    Now from that 440, take away 115 for the bedroom and bathroom. Thats a lot of people for a little area! Lots of bumping around in the kitchen!

    :rofl: :lol:

    Thanks for the idea!

    Next time I invite everyone down, I'll call it a sardine party! Really pack 'em in!

    Everyone, including the women, really liked the garage/workshop....and they all loved the NC-13 as I had lit it off in the morning and kept it idling just a tiny bit the rest of the day!

    If worse came to worse, we could've moved out to the garage for more room. It's still clean enough and the 30 would have heated it up in no time.:yes:

    I could've got away with that old adage...If she's wearing too many clothes, you need more wood on the fire! There was a good ratio there....4 guys, 10 women....all in good moods!

    Doesn't seem like I got much done this weekend but I was busy both days.

    Trimmed a few branches and took them and about 7 trash cans full of branches to the tree dump. On the way back I bought and loaded the trailer with crushed gravel to add to the driveway and put down as a base for an area we will be laying pavers next year.


    Worked on replacing two sections of fence yesterday and today. Headed in to work for a while after picking up groceries for the week.

    Got some things done but I still felt like I was going half speed.

    Now I'm just sitting watching some Packers prey (Vikings) play. Come on regular season!

    One thing I forgot to mention, I planned all this unknown to 99 lbs. It couldn't have happened better and was a great surprise to her!

    After the third vehicle arrived, she had it figured out.

    In case you folks missed it, there is a bunch of new swag including the return of hoodies and zips. Also, we have sweatshirts for the first time in about 3 years.

    Think I'm staying up a while... We just had one of those weird things that doesn't set right happen. Our radio in the kitchen has an auto connect feature that finds and connects to Bluetooth devices that are open. I forgot and left it on.... It went off with the sound of a phone alarm or ringer and nothing we have is connected or going off.....

    Makes me uneasy it's only for about a 15 ft range and it's in the kitchen near the driveway. Nobody that I can see but still it doesn't feel right it's like somebody was outside in range and auto connected when their phone went off.

    Our wi-fi hotspot does that...we live near an intersection so it beeps every once in a while when somebody stops.
    I can always tell when the wife pulls into the garage too.
    When we first got it, the random beeps had me nervous too...but after years of this, and no issues, I ignore it now

    Tell ya what I am setting here locked and loaded, flashlight and my tablet with speed dial in my camera. Don't screw with this guy I'm trained in kick azz and it will get recorded.....

    Long story short nobody breaks in my house without leaving in much worse shape. I'm pretty sure there was somebody I found the footprints. What kind of idiot snoops in the mud.....

    Kitchen window was cracked and I think they freaked from the noise and ran away.

    My own dammed fault I guess I had the garage emptied for most of the day and I have a LOT of tools... I'm guessing somebody did a drive by earlier today.

    Here I thought we where past these problems in town but I guess not. The economy around here really sucks and this is the side effect of it.
