    "Smokey and the Bandit" on AMC tonight. Must watch for the bell-bottoms alone. Too cool.

    Thanks to who recommended "You Can Fix Your Own Back", was it you DaveGunter ? WWW practically threw his back out again last week (odd, its lower down in the pelvis but atleast he's not flat on his back) and FINALLY took that book off the shelf in the porcelain throne room.

    Caffeine going in. A few beers and good food at a friend's camp last night. The view this morning is very nice.

    There's nothing better than a quiet morning watching the day start, and all the reflections on a glassy lake while drinking your coffee.

    Unfortunately, once the leaves fill in I will lose those picturesque views that I've been enjoying of the pond across the street.

    Beautiful morning Gasifier It is not raining this morning but it is overcast. I have a busy day planned with lots to do. It has been a busy week as well. I am going to enjoy 4 days off.

    During my thinking drinking I decided it would be a lot less mess in the house if I removed all the blow in cellulose insulation in the ceiling before I dropped it...so I experienced the pleasure of doing that this afternoon. For some reason they took a perfectly good 9' ceiling and dropped it down to 7'9". I have no idea why...there's no structural reason do that.

    Wall and ceiling come down...new windows go in next weekend.

    Agree, 100% The way to keep moving, is to keep moving. Less pain and more gain. If I miss going to the gym, I start to ache all over. Takes a couple days of exercise to get back to feeling good.

    I'm researching in ground E fences for my dogs.

    I think I'm going to buy the "perimeter" brand with the HD 14 gauge wire kit.

    I'll be installing it myself. I'll rent a trencher. There's a good chance I'll be installing the same kit at our friends house as well.

    Gonna get it with a cable installer on it?
    I've heard that sidewalk edgers can work pretty well for installing E fence wires too

    I'll make sure it has a spool holder on it. If not, I'll rig one up, and or have my wife walk behind me and push the cable down with a "pusher stick".

    I'll have to see what the edger runs for rental rates.
