Belated Earth Day Post


SAVE OUR PLANET! Its the only one with beer.

IRS Refund


As you may have heard we are getting an additional refund on our tax returns this year to help 'stimulate the economy.'

Well here's the breakdown on where we can spend it:
Wal-Mart: China
Gas/Diesel: Arabs
Computer: India
Fruits & Vegetables: Central America
'Good' Automobile: Germany or Japan
Toys: Taiwan

So you ask, well how do I keep the money within the US Economy?


YARD SALES.

I know what I am growing, dammit.


Actually I didn't know what I was watering and fertilizing until the neighbor had asked me not to cut it down. It wasn't that I was going to cut it down, I had been cleaning up the yard, trimming the trees, etc. and I was informed that Belinda and I have a pomegranate tree in our backyard.

Holy Resale Batman!


Our old realtor that we used to buy our house is now our new realtor to sell our house. We have lived in this house for about 8 months. It has undergone many changes. The bathroom has been remodeled with fresh paint, new tile, and new hook-ups for a washer and dryer. The carpet in the hallway, kitchen, and dining room was removed and the wooden floors that lay beneath were sanded and refinished. Lastly the hallway, kitchen, living room, and dining room were retextured and painted. You may ask if I am sad to see it go, no. It will be remembered as the first house that I ever bought with Belinda, but that just means that we can U-P-P-G-R-A-Y-E-D-D when we get to Houston.

P.S. We already have people driving by to look at the house and we don't even have a for sale sign in the yard yet.

Plastic Guns Need Not Apply.


Belinda and I have our hallway, living room, kitchen, and dining room all taped off with plastic drops clothes so we can texture the walls. This took pretty much a full day to cover everything. We started to texture and finished the hallway and part of the living room with the trigger on the texture gun broke. DAMN. Well, its epoxy to the rescue!

Used Razor....Clean.


So I finally found my old cell phone. It turns out that it got washed, but when our front loading washer went into the spin cycle it wedged itself into the thick gasket that seals the door. I am glad I found it, however I was beginning to REALLY dislike the phone.

What the U-Turn?


I got a good laugh out of the GPS in our rental car.
