    My wife completed a very good cleaning of the living room carpet. Now we are having a cold beer. Several more rooms are on her list for tomorrow.

    The living room carpet came out great. After I have some caffeine I will move the rest of the furniture in. This carpet is about 13 years old. o_O

    My dream is to live in a cabin in the woods that I clean with a leaf blower. I could also use the leaf blower to start fires. :rofl: :lol:

    This has been batted around a bit on FHC. McKenzie comes off a bit arrogant and dogmatic, but it works for me.

    Knocking out a little bit of work this AM then I'm taking the rest of the day to get caught up around here. I figure if my co-workers stayed an extra day to go to the beach and play golf I can take today to mow my yard and whatnot.

    Trying to find two more guys to help me put in my new windows this afternoon. I didn't get a chance to look at them real good, but the small window was 96lbs. I'm guessing the big one is 125lbs.

    Grilling some chicken then off to a ballgame this evening.

    Later this morning I will take kids out for several hours while my wife cleans the carpets in another area. It's too wet outside to do anything so maybe we will go for a walk on a paved trail we have near the bigger St. Lawrence river. The local community received some good news yesterday!

    Ogdensburg gets $1.6 million; Watertown $760,000 for trail upgrades

    Last nice day before a week of rain sets in. I slept in so no walking this morning. It is going to be a busy day with reports being folded, stuffed in envelopes and mailed to parents.

    For anyone who is interested, it is Queen Elizabeth's 91 birthday today.

    Yeah I'm with a loose affiliation of some other musicians, it's everyone else's second band, my primary band. We gig 3-4X/year and keep things pretty low key. Folky/indie rock type stuff (Lumineers, Mumford & Sons type stuff)

    The Mrs has very keen knowladge of all the money aquasitions for ada compliant stuff.(she used to handle it).
    I personally don't see it as good.
    I'll have to show it to her! She's Clarkson alum as well. I wonder how much the students are actually engineering.

    Oh, just having fun using the EZ trencher cable layer to run my wired dog fence. My wet clay soil clogs it up pretty good. What also didn't help is that the belt tensioner was set very loose. I tightened that up better. It's on a spring anyways.

    I got the under driveway culvert run, and the one end done all the way to the corner. It's hard to run on a straight line when you are pulling a machine backwards. It's not an exacting science though.
    I had to stop because it was dark. I adjusted the belt tensioner in the last 25 feet or so but that seemed to work better.

    I'm going to hit it again in the AM.

    Of the 965 get off property line, I got about 300 ft done tonight. That's not as much as I wanted to get done today, but I'll take it.
