On another note I heard the pigs are missing a few of their numbers. I'm not sure where they went but I did notice Rath bacon is on sale.
We're around, some of us are just busier at home or the office than others at the moment.
I decided to make a winning decision before my 27th birthday in my long and loosing battle with lots of debt dumped on me after my ex bailed a couple years ago and just moved back home last month for a breather. Only to find, contrary to the common belief (and many years of bewidleing I recieved (and will now use to my advantage in never letting them hear an end to this)) that kids do nothing and parents do everything in a household, that none of the "major" maintenance and upkeep projects around the house have been tended to in my brother's and my own absence over the past 5 years. This weekend alone I patched a 10-foot chunk of chain-link fence, dugout post holes for a new 60-foot span of chain-link fencing my dad been talking about getting around to for about 10-years now, installed the posts the next day after handmixing a couple sacks of cement, replaced one gutter and cleaned out the rest, unclogged and cleaned out all the storm drains so they'll work this year, and rebuilt and got working the small sump-pump for our sub-grade garage. Almost done with most of the things I've been wanting to get to around the place, but some things like the reroofing and repainting the house I get to push off until next spring. I have the interior side of a wall that used to have a door leading to the outside from the bathroom (but now has a window instead) to finish sanding and painting when I get around to repainting it (and remodeling the cabinets) later this fall/winter.
This is also the time of year I try to surround myself with friends or try to get out at much as I can during my down time, rather than sit around the house and on the computer, but that's another story.
