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

      Two days ago, how long do you think I keep those sensory backups around?

        Been teaching the wife how to weld with a gas wire feed welder. She spent the weekend putting bits of metal together and is coming along nicely. She made a metal turtle out bowls and dinnerware. She has also started to make an owl. She's actually quite good at it! :)

        It was broke, so I fixed it.

          Taking long walks with my son in the sunshine, and rebuilding my garage. So my back, hands AND feet are hurting. But I'm not complaining. That's the punishment for being untrained.

              Had Friday off since it was my Friday off. Caught up on some errands. Made an impromptu trip to Las Vegas Saturday. (A 5.5 hour drive.) The entire city was booked as well as any hotel within 60 miles. Had fun until late into the night. Ended up back in Utah for the night. Back to Wendover, NV (just inside Nevada) for a few hours then home. Yesterday morning was a joke. But it ended on a high note with seeing "Bridesmaids" and then renting a movie for home viewing.

                  Pretty good ... entertaining and enjoying my two little (6m) humans. Other than that feeling lazy and not willing to to any physical labor ... still have the winter tires on my car.

                    Installed many a wood flooring solution and gets to me every time. Knees can't take it anymore, between wood and tile I'm done.

                        Yeah, I don't know what got into me and made me specify their length. Now I realize that slow people may think I meant 6 months (mí).

                          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:

                            Went to Gatineau (Quebec side of the Canadian capital region) for their 1st beer festival. It was a lot of fun, a lot of mud and a lot of beer to try.

                                I feel your pain. My wife and I hit the bike trail for 50 to 75 miles in two trips on Saturday and Sunday. Being that this was only the second time out this year (lots of rain this year in Pittsburgh) that hurt quite a bit and still does. Yesterday (hot as heck) we did some yard work and I had to take the pressure washer pump completely apart to clean the insides so the darn thing would not stall the engine.. After getting that to work the wife pressure washed the patio for over 1 hour and I got the driveway for a similar amount of time. Edit: I almost missed the 4 hours I spent mowing the lawn on Saturday morning. 5 passes. The grass was 8 inches high and I mowed sometime last week.. I bagged the first then mulched the rest moving the mower down 1 click each time.

                                    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.

                                      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.

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