Home Ice

Watching the Preds game with the family while the collected dog kids express their team enthusiasm in other ways.

Not So Clean Living

I celebrated the achievement by having an evening cigar out on my new deck. Romeo y Julietta - Romeo # 2.

Clean Living

A job well done and it looks great!

Half Rotten

Between going to Home Depot to pick it all up, lifting and carrying, then the hassle of ripping up the old decking we only got about half way through today but it's looking really good. Luckily the cross beams weren't rotten like the top planks so we didn't have to do even more work.

Rotten Weekend

The deck has gotten into pretty rough shape after 20 years, so it was time to do something about it. Dad had recently redone his deck with Trex, a synthetic board that's supposed to be maintenance free for at least 25 years. It's a bit more expensive but not having to mess with sanding and staining for 25 years sounded like a good deal, so off to Home Depot we went.

Shooting For Average

Sniper Elite is an average game series. It does some things very well, but it's not great. Still when it gets down into the bargain bins I always pick up the latest version, I know it's not going to blow my socks off but it always delivers a solid, short bit of satisfying entertainment. Part 4 is no different, though this one was a little better the the previous incarnations.
