Practice makes perfect.....post on....
see, here's the difference. Patton lives in ....the gated community (RME).... surrounded by a large extended family and there is much intermixing and intermingling. T5, you, and i, and most others here, live our lives more individually, without extended family around, and in this day and age, friends stopping by without calling is considered somewhat rude. totally different lifestyles. he also does squat at home, so what skin is it off his nose if his wife has to entertain his family?
you know, last night i dreamt.... nah... better not... ; )
I'm down to afternoon detail work now, (no more weekends working till fall). We practically live on the porch and it's still under construction.
A++++??? I agree it is a kick-ass deck - but do you REALLY thing he used the WFTD in constructing it? And how come the words I use during building projects are never WFTDs?
Thanks. It's getting there. Still got 2 or so weeks of evening work for an hour or so each day to call it complete. A covered screened back porch is a must for southern living and I wish I had done it 6 years ago when the house was built.
He's good!
And I'm dreading my trip to Atl this afternoon. Going over for a company function. 5 hrs of driving for a freakin' 2 hr reception. And my rental car reeks of some funked up air freshener. :(
take some good music and CRANK IT UP!
Hmmm...I'll have to think of something good...I'll have a passenger that tortured me w/ Rod Stewart on another trip. Wonder who she detests???
Pretty good suite of tunes!
RUN!
i like billy idol for driving. xsteen has a best of cd which i borrowed from her.
