11 mile run this morning. Had to get up early to do it. Wife has parent/teacher conferences this week so it's just me and the woman-child today. Wife also tried to rip the drivers side door off the car by backing out of the garage with it still open. Fortunately the drywall gave way before the door did. Only damage to the car was the window pulled out of the tracks. Somehow it didn't break and I re-installed it last night. I love my wife, but sometimes......

I just let my leaves blow onto my neighbors fairway-perfect retirement lawn.

I prefer his hateful stares to blisters on my tender hands.

Howdy all. I survived my private-practice-esque busy day at work yesterday. Today is more chill, especially this afternoon if the schedule holds to be true.

Sadly I'm the one with the fairway perfect lawn. Well, not so much the quality of the lawn, but the fact all the leaves seem to blow all up all onto my shit.

Rather than spend multiple days raking, I'd rather spend 1/2 day blowing all the leaves into the woods behind my house, then using the balance of time saved doing other things like sitting in my underwear, drinking beer and getting laid. A solid $300 investment if you ask me.

Discussing lawns, oldmonkey.com :rofl:

My lady has a nice electric blower/vac that I use to keep my garage in order. It sucks pretty good all things considered.

Child #1 is having alternating nights of either barfing, or pooping (liquid style) after being put to bed this week. Quite weird. Acting normal all day, eats supper, plays, all normal, then, bedtime. Boom! Feel sorry for the little guy...

gastric reaction to the arrival of kid #2?

So. Much. Laundry...

I actually have a lawn crew do my front yard each week to appease the neighbors and wifey. It's small change and they do a way better job than I would. My kids are white and therefore generally useless.

While our house is well maintained the neighbors (all of them, lol) hate that a hessian contractor lives amongst them.

They constantly bitch about the lettered truck, box trailer, stacks of ladders and pump jacks etc so I try and throw them a bone now and again.

These are the same type of assholes who bitch about the fishermen keeping their lobster pots stored on their property. Of course they don't have any issues storing their sailboats on their own property because they're status symbols.

It's a great house, 5min walk to ocean, open space behind it for dogs to run, kids can walk to school etc.

Ultimately they don't really bother me as I'd rather not be socializing with them anyway.

Have you never used a leaf blower? Sure they are up there with generators an two stroke motos in terms of being annoying for others but they kick ass if you are the one using it.

Sounds nice. I'm not sure I'd be able to put up with the other stuff though, I tend to take things far too personally... I need to lighten up a bit I guess!

In an ironic turn of events, I just got an email from a large analytical test equipment manufacturer, expressing interest in my resume to fill a senior mechanical engineer position at their headquarters....which is located much closer to the area I was thinking the lady and I would wind up buying a house.

Speaking of Tuesdurp, I spaced the fact that tonight is awkward engineer required socialization night. Should be interesting, I'll be drinking often and early.
