Good Hike

This morning we got off to a late start but still decided to head out and enjoy the uber nice weather.
The goal was to get some excercise, fresh air, sun, and with any luck, locate a Sierra-Nevada Ensatina
and a Northern Rubber Boa. Well, we struck out on the rubber boa, but did locate a pretty little Sierra-
Nevada Ensatina, my first one ever. XD

We also saw some cool inverts, including these two enormous pedes...

Totally Stuffed...

Australian slang for exhausted or messed up. It fits her perfectly. :|

• stuffed
  adjective:- exhausted

• stuffed up
  adjective:- messed up

Despite her condition, I really feel like I can do this. Affording it is another story
however. Anyone have a spare $10,000 laying around?

S u N d A y

Yes folks...a moustache. :)

More from last weekend...

So Tom, Kris, Ryan and Scotty came out for the weekend to hang out.  As per usual, the weekend was
loaded with high jinx (noisy and mischievous merrymaking), mahem (a state of rowdy disorder), tom
foolery (foolish or silly behavior) and gayness (of, indicating, or supporting homosexual interests
or issues, having or showing a merry, lively mood).

#1 - Clean fun with Photoshop....I'll spare you the not so clean Photoshop fun that is in the works...

I'm not a cam whore...

...but I could be if I was to wear this wicked stache all the time.  And this is exactly why Linda hates it so much.
I however find it extremely fun, and funny, especially when walking around in a public place wearing not just the stache, but a pair of Amber-Vue "Night Vision" glasses as well (thanks Scotty). XD

Patio Problems....

So we FINALLY got a patio poured in the back yard.  But not without problems.  At 9:00am this morning I got a frantic call from the Mrs., screaming that the office was flooding.  Holy. Crap.  I had about three heart attacks as I raced home from work.  Long story short, the patio contractors hit a water line in the base of the house (they have to drill a 3" hole in the side of the foundation for re-bar) which seeped up through the corner of the house and the foundation and into the office.  Luckily, the Mrs. was sitting at her desk like usual and the main line was shut off in time before any SERIOUS damage occured.  Had she not been home or simply in another room, the damage would have been much, much worse.   All in all though, the patio looks great and I can't wait to use it.

The damage. Here we had to chisel away the wall to expose the ruptured pipe so it could be repaired.  Next week it will get properly fixed.

Tom called...

...asking for an update on my facial hair.  So, I figured I would post a quick status photo.  It's getting really annoying actually.  First off, Linda won't even kiss me.  Second, dried snot and food seems to be a growing problem. :)  That aside, it does look pretty rugged and grungy.  It definitely makes me look harder.  It still needs another month to really start filling out though.
