Congrats Jorge!

Let us know how the cantaloupe went, doug!

variety of outdoor activities this morning

My pool opened yday and looked pretty swampy but just did a couple hours of brush work and crud removal it's starting to clear up

got some powerwashing fellow coming this afternoon

repaired a fence

warm weather makes so much of a life difference

Went to do my biweekly mow at Mrs Wease’s office and the electric push mower wouldn’t start. It’s been giving me trouble the last few weeks but has always come on. That yard is so small and easy it’s cut it fine so far this year, but today nothing. So looks like we’ll be getting a new electric pusher this weekend.

How old is it? Ours was still under warranty last summer and they fixed it for us

[Rangi Guy]

Spending Easter weekend with the family at a house by the beach. Our area appears to be one of the few not effected by a tropical cyclone hitting the country.
Yesterday took the kids to a Bluey stage show, then came back and took the to the beach. Took my wife's longboard down for the girls. My eldest's second time on a board and she managed to get up...twice.
This morning got up and went for a wee session around 7am. The waves were a bit dumpy, and the board a bit slippery, but I think the biggest issue was the lack of skill from the guy on the board

today started with the makings of a fun and easy Saturday -- much needed after like six weeks of non-stop hustle in our house -- but it quickly devolved into one of those totally pointless marital arguments. Haven't had one in a long while, never fun!

Anyway, now my wife and I hate each other and are just playing hot potato with our kid so we don't have to interact. It will all be better tomorrow though.

[VinylGuy]

Hope tomorrow is lighter Trag!

I had a great saturday, basically cleaning my apartment, listening to podcasts and music.

I hope to watch at least a movie tonight.

It’s still under warranty but the “official” repair place closest to us is an hour away. No big deal except when you check the phone number it says they’re in a totally different town twice as far away. And when you call the number to inquire, it picks up and hangs up. Can’t leave a message, can’t talk to anybody. The next closest place to us is 3.5 hours away in Kentucky.

Give us a play by play of the argument.

Went down to the local school with my girls. Played some game where they were on their scooters and I had to chase them around on my skateboard.
Weather is starting to pack in some, but there's still some surf so will hopefully get the girls back out the board soon

[Ello Sailor]

Fuck yeah, skateboarding rules.

[Ello Sailor]

Cool to see the girls are already getting into surfing/longboarding.

Many days of rain have turned the sea into a sus brown. I knew I was going to miss summer, but what the hell. I can't deal with this.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

your only chance at salvation is to beg for forgiveness, genuflect, and present as a gesture of reconciliation an ultra fresh xtra large chuzo desgranado

its cheesy steam will bring tears of joy to her eyes

the aroma of the fresh hot beef will engulf you both with undying love

It started with a disagreement about stip’s tournament management style and just steamrolled from there

She really hates having non-PJ tunes in there, huh?

We haven’t fought yet, but I’m walking on egg shells today as my wife seems to be in a terrible mood and I have no idea why. “Tired” has been the reason given, but my goodness who isn’t.

Cot out for a second surf this evening. Had heaps of fun, caught heaps of waves. I think this is starting to come back after so long out of the water
