Good morning. Trail to rake, vegetable garden to tend to.
what part of slc are you staying? i spent a good bit of time there at a previous job. surprisingly a handful of good breweries.
Morning.
Was wrestling with the little one last night and he accidentally headbutted really hard right in the bridge of my nose. Caught me totally off guard and definitely heard a pop when it happened. Totally expected to wake up this morning with a black/blue face but so far just a little swelling. Still ****ing hurts like hell though. Who knew being a father was so dangerous.

Enjoying the Dominican Republic currently. Wifey sucks at putting on sunblock, as her chest is burned to a crisp and my back is mildly burned. Planning on going ziplining later today and if the wind is downn paddle boarding. Have fun working suckers.
Me. I knew.
North or so about 20 miles of the city in Kaysville.
Once is chance, twice is coincidence, third time is a pattern.
I looked like a f@ggot during my 8 mile run last night. At least, according to one young motorist. lmao
ah, i was south. sandy, ut. If you had more time, the enve factory is up that way.
misguided youth. you should say a prayer for him too.
Going to spend the day transporting old folks on Alameda Island should have time for a lunch run along the water.
Were you wearing split leg running shorts?
Always thigh length shorts for me.
I do have a pair of those short split leg ones but they are reserved for only the hottest of days (e.g 95 degrees).
Looks good, Joe!!Finished the patio expansion/rebuild over the weekend, wound up adding a bit more to it than I initially planned. Need to pick up a few shrubs and it's off to the next project.
Old:
Drainage issue:
Trench dug and ready for the gravel/corrugated pipe. This took about 6hrs straight (about 3ft deep at the lowest/furthest point):
New:
Come on, does the ad really need to be that big? I'm sitting at a 23" monitor and it takes up half of the screen.
For real tho'. Nice work.
Thanks Phil....I assumed you were making fun of my posting it in the Sunday and Monday GMT threads.
Very pleased how it came out...going to pick up a few shrubs from the nursery on the way home tonight I think. It will be nice to have a legitimate lounging area to grill, eat and drink beer.
Now if only I can figure out the magic involved in maintaining a nice lawn....
I went for a walk this morning because I woke up early. I got to the end of the driveway and this little terrier came up to me all happy. It followed me on my walk and as I got home it ran up to the most strikingly pretty girl. Her little dog had got out. I made 2 new friends today.....
You should give them both a bone.
Morning Monkeys.
The weather has been the suck off and on, but I am getting the lady out on a cruise around the hood after work. She's never tried any real trail riding, but I know she will dig it. I just need to work her up to it and get her used to going fast.

MOAR bewbz.
She's a Vegan based on the sticker on her car. I don't do well with them......
In his defense - I've seen a *lot* of runners that resemble a bundle of sticks...
Oh, I most certainly was making fun of your multi-posting. But, I also didn't comment in either of the prior threads so posting in today's GMT seemed like the monkey way of paying a compliment.Thanks Phil....I assumed you were making fun of my posting it in the Sunday and Monday GMT threads.

Especially in split leg shorts.
don't you mean harley riders?
Howdy all. Good rehearsal last night, and a busy but satisfying day at work before then. Nice when things work out like that 
I'm currently tuned in via gotomeeting to morning conference (diffusion weighted MRI imaging, which is actually a topic I like, MR physics). Academic morning off, but I'm planning instead on using the time for one more round of life insurance/disability insurance blood draws and heading to a local glass-blowing shop to buy some trinket for the wifebot for Mothers Day.
Daily update on my **** for sale:
(and all of these auctions have no reserve price! bid! encourage friends to bid! bid again!)

The grandfather clock has a high bid of $26, too, for the record.
(and all of these auctions have no reserve price! bid! encourage friends to bid! bid again!)
Harley riders are many things, but generally aren't skinny…
Happy Birthday Joe.
This morning was a double pooper
I wonder if that is a good omen or a bad omen

I'm getting ready to go to my neighbour's funeral. sigh. I hope she is in a better, more peaceful place.
DMG got there first. It's probably a sh!t show by now.

In the Desert
By Stephen Crane
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, Is it good, friend?
It is bitterbitter, he answered;
But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.
"We have a saying in my country - the coyote of the desert likes to eat the heart of the young and the blood drips down to his children for breakfast, lunch and dinner and only the ribs will be broken" - Tino
