The Bathroom Reno Hath Officially Begun

The Bathroom Reno Hath Officially Begun

Draining weekend over here.  I did get to serve my peak baseball role; substitute bench coach.  Yell out batting order, positions, then just hype up the kids and yell basebally things.  Unfortunately for 6 hours.  The long-awaited master bathroom reno has officially begun.  It was a long weekend of last-minute emptying of our bathroom and closet.  Lots of donations, lots of Buy Nothing, but lots of jamming things into every corner of the rest of the house.  And being home for 2 days of demo wasn't the most fun I've ever had.   The PGA championship is right in our backyard, so I grabbed the Elijah Craig commenerative bottle.  Better than just regular EC?   Enjoy!

I Hope That Deer Wasn't a Mom

Well, it finally happened.  We have a ton of deer around us.  And I spend a lot of time driving during deer hours.  And telling my MIL she shouldn't be so paranoid because no one actually hits a deer.  And so I hit one.  Well, it kinda hit me.  Either way, front 1/4 panel, bumper, headlight are all done.  And right before Mother's Day, no less.  Which was definitely not our best Mother's Day.  Both kids had games and the wifey was on call.  So everything got crammed night and there was lots of running around.  Pursuit United dropped a bourbon aged over Sakura Bloom staves.  Are they ground-flooring the next big trend?  Or is this just hype.  Enjoy!

A Fun Fest of an Odyssey of a Brake Job

Of all the car maintenance I have to perform, I've honed my brake job skills quite a bit over the last 8ish years.  But for whatever reason, Jaws decided it wasn't going to go down without a fight.  A big fight.  A break multiple tools kinda fight.   And really that was the gist of the week.  Other things happened, but they all got over-shadowed by the Tragedy in the Driveway...edy.   Enjoy!

I'm The Wizard Of Bearing Replacement

That title might be over-stating it a bit, but I realized in editing that I reference wizards twice.  So it must be a sign.   Anyways, I feel like I'm magically back to full power again.  Or at least as full power as I can get.  I'm motivated, I have energy, ready to take on everything and crush it this summer.  Which is good, because it was a full weekend.  Wizards bball, soccer tournaments, baseball games, hebrew names, definitely no time for love for Dr. Jones.   But we got some awful news from our good friends.  They had a terrible choice to make last weekend with their dog.  But we're here for them and we'll help them through it.   Enjoy!

That's the kind of bold flavor I enjoy in...Phoenix!

Another fantastic Boys Baseball Weekend in the books.  Now hopefully I didn't really dive into the history of these trips last year, because that's what I'm doing again.  If I did, well there's probably different flavors this time around.  We golfed, we pickelballed, we day drank, we baseballed.  We had multiple first-time-for-thats.  And really, there was a clear loser both times.  Huh.   And I just realized that I've also missed a week.  Didn't mean to do that.  But I traveled from Thursday-Sunday, and I'd normally record in that window.  And I just wasn't aware enough to cut the episode monday and rush it out.  Whatever, I'm sure the week I missed wasn't anything to talk home about.  Enjoy!
