Week Without Weddings
My busy wedding season is over. But I've got lots to fill the time...
Work kinda boiling over
I'm on three projects now, all of which very pressing to some degree. On the upside, I get a week off next week whatever happens.
Decent weekend
Had the crew over for a BBQ on Friday. I'm determined to get as much use out of that thing while I still can. Went pretty well, I think. At around midnight, it was only Paul (who is fortunately in town for the next few weeks) and I who remained. Did the Peter Easton in hopes of karaoke there, but as it turned out, only very cheap pints of Guinness, which is still a great silver medal. Then mozied down to Kelly's for the gold. Shut the place down and headed back to my place for a 4am BBQ. I cooked burgers, he swatted spanworm moths. It was a good team effort.
Saturday I headed to the Duke for a pint with Richard. Had a chance encounter at the Duke with Dan, who was in town. Met up with his crew later and had a couple of drinks. The night would have probably gone further had they not all decided to go to Junctions. Fuck Junctions. The highlight was the ultra-efficient "ejection of poison" one of the b'ys had in the alleyway. Only myself and Dan heard anything, and we just thought he spilled beer.
Dave vs. Firewood
Not too long after hauling half a cord of firewood through the house and stacking it, I saw an ad for some scrap wood from a contractor that makes baby barns. So I gave him a shout and bought it off him.
The good: Man, that's a crapload of wood.
The bad: Goddam, that's a crapload of wood.
The ugly: Gotta find the time/means of moving over 150 cubic feet of wood through my house. It's making more urgent the completion of...
The Shed
...which is progressing. Two walls done. Hopefully another banged out tonight. And I guess I'm going to have to finally decide upon a door width before I bang out the front wall. I'm looking at 4' since, even if a little wide, it means less cutting.
