It's supposed to be almost 70 today!

In earnest??? I wish I could put 1/2 the effort into home renovations as you do, Dee. Someday.

We're having family movie night tonight. Throwing blankets and pillows around the living room, popping a bunch of popcorn, drinking too many sugary and unhealthy drinks and watching something on PPV.

Saturday is finally free, although I've got to work in the morning. While there is plenty of yardwork to do now that the snow is completely gone, I think I'll spend the afternoon extracting my TD from the sarcophagus that used to be the portable garage (collapsed from the snow) and seeing if I can get it started and rolling.

It's still CYO Tourney time for son #1 and DD. My daughter plays in the Deanery Championship game late Sunday morning about 30 miles away (not quite as impressive when you consider only one other team qualified) and then #1 plays his championship game in the same place at 4. Not sure if we're driving back and forth or just find somewhere to hang out for a couple hours.

I wish I could, too, Swamp. Then, I'd probably be done by now.

I AM pretty energetic about TALKING about doing them, though.

Damn, was planning on going to the big Mercedes meet this weekend....


But looks like I'm staying home. I bruised my hip, and cannot sit in a car for more than 10 minutes without starting to swear. :/

That sucks, major.



Working on homework so I have the weekend free. There is some sort of car meet going on in orlando on sunday so I am going to check it out.

Yeah, it sucks bad.



I was swearing at all the dips, potholes, lane markers, and 19" rims on the SL this morning as I was driving to work.

I'll be off to the Macallan tasting tonight and then it's on the first Powerpig Mercedes GTG and bbq event of the season tomorrow. I hope to see most of you local folks out there tomorrow, no excuses!

Printed off my W-2's and all the LES's from my recent mobilization, went to the library-found I was a half hour past closing time, took the '83 for a joy ride around town. Now I'm going out for karaoke.

Oh boy, the sun was shining just now. Maybe it will come out and stay for the next couple of days. That would be a treat. I'm hoping to get up in the morning and get focused on finishing my outdoor kitchen project so I can start cooking on that fabulous new Jenn Air grill I bought from Powerpig.
Then, I plan to start in on that Murphy bed I keep blathering about so I can start having guests again. I'm hoping it will be pretty fun to build. Mostly, I'm hoping that the damned thing actually works once I'm finished building it.
Have a wonderful weekend everybody.

Snow (albeit miniscule amounts) on the ground this morning. Talk about a great April Fool's joke.

I'm bailing out early today and headed to Manchester, NH (where they had measurable snowfall) for son #1's New England Region CYO basketball tournament tomorrow. His undersized, scrappy team have made it to the New England 7th & 8th Grade Elite 8! Think VCU or Butler in the NCAA's. They have a realistic chance at winning their first game. After that? Who knows. The other teams in the tourney are rumored to be about H.S. Freshman-sized and talented. However, our kids have now beaten 3 bigger, faster, "more talented" teams to get to this point. They just seem to swarm and annoy and take the other team off their game. They aren't fast but they are quick.

If they win tomorrow morning, they play at 2:15 tomorrow afternoon with the Finals being on Sunday at 2:30. Does it make be a bad dad to hope they win one and lose the second? Much of that is due to by daughter's AAU basketball team playing in their first tourney this weekend (all of their games are weekend tournies with 2 games Saturday and 2 on Sunday) and I feel awful about potentially missing her first 4 games. She's staying with friends tonight and tomorrow night and is fine with us not being there, but I'd really like to make her games on Sunday. Heck, if my son's team lost their first game tomorrow, I'd probably lean towards hauling arse back here for her afternoon game.

I'll let you know if that's the case next week, . . . maybe. I'm not used to having any help, so, hopefully it'll be possible.

Looks like I'll be in Madison tonight for some concert...don't know the bands, but probably some head-banger spring-fling thing or other...

Then...drive home, sack out for a few hours, then up and over to a local HS for some station promotion of the new FOX show, "X FACTOR" - 106 different acts with various degress of (if I may be so inclined to use the word...) "talent" from within.

Then Sunday...wake up to the wonderful smell of a 1# Bacon Muffin.

Yummy!

Then...I die happy...

All I saw was bacon, and it's good enough for me. But please do elaborate!

The Mrs. and I are escaping for the evening! For Christmas, I bought her two tickets to the Billy Currington/Uncle Kracker/Kenny Chesney concert at the Mohegan Sun (and she chose to go with me ).

Todd England and Bobby Flay have a couple of restaurants there, to go along with the other 147 different dining choices. Too many choices! Do we go casual or fine? Bobby Flay's burger joint has some of the best burgers I've ever had. Jasper White's Summer Shack has great seafood. Todd English's Tuscany for fine Italian. Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville would be a good lead into the Kenny Chesney summer/beach/boat/relaxing in the sun vibe. What's a guy to do? We might just have to flip a coin.

Final push for bodywork on my C55.
