Not much new...
Not much new. I've been SUPER busy with work, so we haven't done much on the house. Been relaxing a little bit.
I didn't make it out there to take a picture in time, but I looked out the window, and on top of our hot tub (covered) our outdoor cat (Mama) was sitting up there, and a MONSTROUSLY huge raccoon was up there eating out of her food bowl. I turned the outdoor light on to show Andrea and the raccoon knew something was up. I opened the back door to yell at it to go away, and it started to walk off... then Mama started hissing at it and bitch-slapped the thing! It was AWESOME! I was so proud of her hahahaha. It was like 3 times her size, but she let it know who's boss and told it to get the hell out of her yard. HA!!!
I ordered tires for my truck today. But I think I may go get a price from somewhere else. Hopefully Costco will give me my deposit ($40) back if I don't buy them from them. Jason bought his from the Firestone dealer for about $140 cheaper than mine will be. So I'm going to see if they can give me a good price or if that was a limited time promotional price.
I picked up scrap wood from our door place today. We're going to go this week to the hardware store to get them to put some different color stains on it so we can see what we like. Nice to be able to see what it will look like on a scrap before doing the whole door. The door place told me I need to rub the doors down with "4 ought" steel wool before staining. I'm putting that in here so I don't forget :)
I borrowed Jason's mower today and have proof now that my mower sucks. I have to go over each section of grass twice with mine (once in each direction). With his, one pass and it was done. I'm not sure if it's just the blade on mine or if I need a new mower. I've sharpened the blade on mine with a Dremel and it's pretty sharp, a LOT sharper than the new one at the store even, and sharper than the blade on Jason's. But I started reading on the internet and a sharp blade is actually not what you want. It's the angle on the blade that is the key. So I don't know. New blade for like $30 or new mower for like $300. I'd hate to spend $30 on a blade and find out that my mower still sucks. But then I can't imagine that there is that much newer "technology" in a new mower. It spins the blade, right? I'm just not sure. I'll probably opt for the blade first and see what happens. It's gotta help it somewhat I would think.
OK. Pizza just got here. time to eat!

Moyk,
It is pathetic enough that I, your only worthwhile and interested big sister, read your sad and pathetic ramblings. However, it is disturbing to me that your 'friends' are keeping up with you in this manner.
Go to Barnes & Nobles, people!!! Try a BOOK! There IS more educating reading out there than this drivel.
K, Moyk, carry on! Love the BLOG!
Mike-
I will tell you, it is not your mower, it is the user's technique while mowing that is the problem. You are obviuosly using the Canadian side of you genetic structure. What you need to do is dig deep inside of yourself and find your inner Mexican.
Only once you harness the "Miguel" that resides at your core will you see true improvement in your yard. This technique also applies to painting. Best of luck!
