Of all your future accomplishments none will be more celebrated than when you can wipe your own ass.

Love, Dad

Test post

Posted in nothing on June 17th, 2009

Testing Postbot app from my mobile device. I picked up a Google Phone a few weeks ago b/c i got a TMobile prepaid sim card from work. So i’ve been playing around with it, have it rooted, flashed a bunch of different ROMs too it, played some games, etc…

We built Alex a playset in the backyard. We plan on going to Troy over July 4th.

Ah…i forgot how to write a blog entry longer then 140 characters.

I’m a Man!

Scored 1400/1500. Missed a question about pruning tree limbs. Everything else was pretty easy. It’s a lame quiz, lame excuse for a post, but it’s a good excuse to waste 10 minutes of your time. And i learned how to tie a bowline, which looks useful. /not a boyscout

Patio work

Posted in nothing on May 12th, 2009

We have a concrete patio w/ stone veneer at the front of our house. The veneer and the top stones have been falling off since we’ve moved here three years ago. It’s to the point where it doesn’t feel safe to walk on since the top stones on the steps are so loose. I had hired some guy to repair it last week via craigslist only to have him not show up when he said he would.

Damn contractors! They’re all crooks. He even cashed the first check i gave him. I was worried i was scammed when he wouldn’t return my phone calls. Every attempt to call him went straight to his voicemail. Damn it! FVcker better be dead or his ass is going to jail!

So i stopped the check thru my bank and gathered my evidence to submit a police report. In the mean time i got sick of the patio falling apart and spent the weekend fixing it. As i tore it apart, i noticed there had been several attempts to fixing it by previous owners. Took me two days, two blood blisters, and less then $100 to get all secured again. Might not look pretty, and there still more tuckpointing to do, but at least it’s safe to walk on.

Guess what happened to the guy i hired? Yup, he died. His mother-in-law called me, she had heard my angry voicemails looking for her son-in-law, and told me about his obit in Post-Dispatch. Apparently he died the night i hired him. Some freaky timing, i was one of the last people to see him alive.

Strange.
