Heh...kinda hard when you can't make rice or potatoes to go with it.

Guess salad, salad and more salad? And maybe some other veggies?

I'm gonna have leftover chili and corn chips, personally.

And was just informed that a bunch of siblings are coming here with a movie. I'm OK with that...so long as they don't complain about what's for dinner or in the fridge!

We're watching True Grit tonight, after the jedis get in from choir.

Matthew gets checked off on all 11 songs tonight! Took forever, even though he's been ready for a while, because of our 100 year anniversary celebrations at church (choir was put on hold) and then we were in Houston one weekend...

Finally tonight, he finishes his requirements!

Ok, it's time!

*DOUGHBOY UPDATE* (Doughboy Theme Song)

Well, he rolled out of the house about 3pm whereabouts he and his buddies proceeded to drink a lot of beer, pour cement down the center of the cinderblocks and make fun of my garden... the jerk.

For the record, here's a pic (if you open it in another window it'll be full size):

1. To the left of the number one is the pile of gravel he wrasteled, above and to the left is the large piece of lumber that has been laying about in various locations since we moved in. There is also a trench dug at the uphill edge of the gravel pile. This is where I believe the front of the shed will be.

2. This is either a spare block or a footer at the midpoint of the shed. This is also about where the silt fence used to be. It's only supposed to come down once a good lawn has been established. The dark streak to the right is the trench/pile of dirt where he ripped his out of the ground. This area is the lowest point in his yard where all of his runoff runs into our yard.

3. This is the shovel that he keeps lying about.

4. The magic footer. It is seven blocks high. The hole in the ground is about 12 inches deep (1.5 blocks' worth). No rebar in the middle of the stack and no footer underneath- just a shovel full of stolen gravel. No mortar either, just some quickset mixed with some stolen gravel down the middle. There are three other footers like this, only not as tall. A second one can be seen by #3, the other two are out of the view to the left. Yes, it is leaning- tho this is exaggerated slightly by the zoom lens on the camera.

5. This is the fancy-shmancy sight level used to level everything. Bwahahaaaaaa.

I'm gonna call the county again tomorrow- just fer making fun of my garden. Grrr
