PATH UPDATE!!!!

Finally done. Spent last night out there drinking beers. I liked it even more than I thought I would.

If you look really close at pic #3 you can see the tiny roaches right on the side of the outside brick, lined up neatly in a row, largest to smallest.

 

[SofaKings]

Can't even send Keys a message on facebook anymore. I of all people can understand screwing up this kind of thing and how embarrassing it is, but damn.

Yeah, who did you Smoo again? Some fantasy football league?

It was Brit, and if Brit wasn't as nice as he is, PN would be dead.

When I was going through my divorce I wasn't handling much of anything so well, and up and quit the mortgage business and left a couple clients hanging. Brit was one of them. 100% my bad.Also, at this same time, I was in a beer it forward and didn't send the beer in the timeline I was supposed to. Ended up sending the beer, and didn't actually get the beer that was going to be sent to me, but such is life.

It was a pretty crappy time. Wish I'd have handled it better.

At least you are still alive, that is what is important. Look at the guy who was banging emom. Dude is flat out DEAD.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Seriously that looks pretty sweet.

Have you thought of building some sort of fort/club house for the boys out in those trees? Far enough away so it's not an eyesore but close enough so you can hear if they bring in a couple of stewardesses.

Have you been talking to Cal? All I hear is "hey dad, wouldn't a tree house be cool?" The kids in the hood make forts out there but I'm not ready to do anything like that. This little path isn't exactly on my land... but I always like to set the rules. The other neighbors think it is great. Thanks Gb. It was a labor of sobriety. I miss the creative side of myself.

Bench doesn't look level.

It does lean slightly but I took that pic at a weird level or something. hereI also have my garden in. If anybody need broccoli, let me know.

There are so many freaking bugs out here it is unreal. I paid to have a service come in 4 times a year to spray the house.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Just awesome GB.

Not sure if spraying will deal with that issue. May need something stronger.

mojo was a lot more funny than me too

 

[Frostillicus]

I beered my Twins jacket forward to Frosty. Pretty sure he wore it in Florida, but he didn't send me any pics.

It was too hot, but I brought it down there so that counts for something. Thanks again, gb.

Much better.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Not sure if I mentioned in here, but over the winter I put in a bunch of raised beds for vegetables.

I made them 3 cinder blocks high and then stuccoed. I left a half inch opening every third block for drainage. I filled the bottom with rocks and then covered with a landscape cloth, so excess rainwater could drain away and the soil would remain in place. I then fill with a premium soil mix and and install both drip and microspray irrigation. After I planted my veggies and got them going, I covered the bottom with 3-4" of pine straw. THis provides shading to keep the soil moist.

I have three beds, totaling about 100'. They are five ft wide.

Next I will be putting in an aquaponic system- a connected hydroponic and aquaculture system to raise more vegetables and fish.

Here's some pics:

Pretty sure he and his wife used it as a blanket to have sex in front of his MIL.

You're mixing up your stories. I think.

I think we all just assume it's a thing you do.

 

[jplvr]

Nice work, cos. I want a vegetable garden, but I'm terrible about keeping up with things like that. I have a dog, and I can leave him alone for days on end as long as he gets fed. He's re####ed, but he doesn't freak out when left alone. Plants are more termpermental than my dog.

I want an aquarium too, but... same problem there, and maybe a worse one.

[proninja]

I've been thinking I should play music with a band again. This guy is looking for a bassist. I don't like his music, but i feel that for it's genre it's pretty decent. I'm half tempted to respond to his ad to see what comes of it.

Thoughts?

 

[Frostillicus]

Anybody know stuff about Florida? Specifically getting me a job there?

 

[Samuel L Bronkowitz]

I'm kinda sad

I don't really know. I think we're looking in the Orlando/Kissimmee area ideally and working out from there. I'm currently a Category Manager and have done that for four years, and have working in the CPG and/or retail entertainment industry for about 13 years.

Three disconnected posts that warrant some response. I'm not the person to respond to any of them, though, other than wondering why SLB2 is sad?I'm sad, too, GB.

Sorry, no worries here. Just bummed for my alma mater. If I really have a problem I would definitely post it without being cryptic.I had a few beers tonight so it sucked that my Badgers put up a helluva fight and lost. It always hurts more when you have the ball at the last second against a better team and can't put in a shot. Jordan Taylor is a hardworking guy that will never play beyond today so it sucks for him. Plus my other team, the Warriors got their ### kicked. Oh well sports aren't everything.On a lighter note, I'm going to be up for another hour. Let's do an "Ask me anything"

pouring a drink for this. I just pulled out of 3 weeks of soul-crushing depression, and actually feel good today. do clowns creep you out?

Drinking the end of the Pernod bottle from Cosjobs so I'm in...No clowns do not creep me out. To be honest I don't get the phobia.

 

[krista4]

Damn I wish I could stay up for the SLB2 and fish discourse. Unfortunately I have a long day of disc golf ahead of me tomorrow.

I appreciate this. Probably not worth getting into; not trying to be attention-whorish. Things just notsogood here.I am going to bed. Given that I haven't slept more than two hours in any night for the past two weeks, I'll see y'all tomorrow night and will just stay up instead of pretending I'm going to get some sleep before work.

Hmmm...I was a kid when John Wayne Gacy was dressing up like a clown and killing similar-aged kids and stuffing them in his crawlspace. had a recurring nightmare of a clown trying to break into a house made of sliding glass doors that wouldn't stay closed. if I ever didn't get to a door and close it in time, he was going to get in and kill me. I would wake up exhausted in a pool of sweat. had that dream about 30 times over the course of a few years.I hate that they have those big painted on smiles. Makes me worry what they're really like behind that. People shouldn't have to paint a smile on unless they're really not all that happy.

if you were forced to make a living as a street performer, what would your act be?

I find that strange. No offense. When I was growing up, clowns were funny people.

Good question. I have to say air guitar

I can appreciate a phobia. Hell I have a phobia of bridges (and I don't expect people to understand it). Spiders, heights, speaking in front of people, clausterphobia, feet, snakes, dying, etc. I get that. Clowns? Not so much

Win the NIT. Lets be honest, it's like playing in the Bob and Erving's Pancake House Bowl.If you're losing in the round of 64 you're not that good (Oh, hello Duke). So you're playing against your kind of competition and it gives your fanbase a rooting interest. Even if no one else in the world cares.

I haven't had a drink on a Friday in 3 years. I'll shoot you next week's schedule tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I'm there Tuesday.the 30 days of no drinking thing was part of my working through the 3 weeks of hell I just went through. it lasted 3 days.

Oh no...you're on to me

I've never had a panic attack or anything like that, but anytime I'm on a bridge, even if it's just going over another 2 lane highway, I have a feeling of uneasiness. It's completely irrational so I've learned to control it. But it's still there. Pretty sure it stems from the San Francisco quake of 89 where I watched a car fall on TV.

I'm switching to liquor cos sent me for this. Feels like the right thing to do.
