    About the same here, as I'm needing to get back to work for my knees and lower back to recover. I pulled most of the weeds in the yard, tore down a decrepit wood fence, de-nailed and stacked the wood, harvested nectarines from my tree, cleaned the porch, built a lumber rack and sorted out the assorted lumber I keep on hand, sorted and stacked the bits of aluminum and steel I keep on hand for projects, installed a watering ring around the pine tree, then planted gazanias under the mulberry and carnations under the pine. At that I only managed to accomplish about half of what I'd hoped to do, but I guess it's okay to do a little resting on a holiday... :sigh:

    Hey you had enough time left over you could have built a cedar chest and changed the oil in you vehicle? :) As we get older we find that the muscles get sorer and take longer to heal. I worked on my truck over the weekend; changed plugs and oil, washed, etc. and was spent at end of day.

      Installed hard wood floors in our cabin and now my knees and lower back are killing me. How was your weekend?

      Partied on Saturday... Got two of my friends completely hooked on Magicka[^] on Sunday... That game is ridiculously fun to play local co-op, though it's tough to cast spells with a gamepad. On Monday, did absolutely nothing productive... Treated myself to a Eureka[^] marathon, courtesy of Netflix.

      Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

          Yeah, I know what you mean. The hot sand can really get to your feet after a while.

                  found out my wife has an incurable disease that will more than likely cost her the hearing in one ear and makes her walk like a drunk person(due to balance being off in the inner ear)..

                    I don't know how to respond to this. All I can say is that I hope for the best for her and for you.
