Understanding the Struggle

Booo CBS

So I'm switching my boo to CBS this week. Again I can't watch my team (Miami) because Tampa and Jacksonville are playing. Really, it's because Jacksonville is playing.

Wouldn't it be genius if the NFL made the Jags and the Dolphins play at different times each week. Na, that would be too difficult, right?

Or how about taking TV to the next step and letting you choose which game you want to watch. They are covering both, so it can be done. It can, but it won't...at least not yet.

Lastly, what about Brighthouse carrying NFL Sunday ticket??? Just a thought BH. Just a thought.

The Next Jerry Rice?

I found this article interesting. What if this kid is the next Jerry Rice. What it must feel like to have come so far in college to be compared to the all-time great, yet have so far to go in the pros (assuming he gets there, which I'm sure he will). Read away sports fans, read away.

More Improvements

So the guy came out and removed the three avocado trees, trimmed up the two by the street that line the driveway and will be back Monday to take care of the big oak and the three trees on the side. Looks awesome so far.

I cleaned out the garage and cleaned off the front porch. I even threw away even more stuff. The dumpster is still here, so why not, right?

Charissa is now painting the master bedroom and I'm about to go get us some food. The house is looking better every day:-)

Tree Trimming

So today I found someone to trim all of my trees. I'm in such a home improvement phase. The thing is it costs so much money to do all of these things. Crazy actually, but it is one of the few times where I actually buy things I NEED and not things I want.

So the guy will be out tomorrow morning to start on the trees and by early next week I will be so happy to have it all done. Now if I just didn't have to pay for it this all would be a dream come true:-)

Wagner signs with Warriors after two years out of NBA

Dajuan Wagner was the man a few years back. Dropping 100 on some high school kids, while he was in high school. Playing one year of nba-prep and then going to the Cavs with the sixth pick in the 2002 draft. 13 a game as a rookie and then injuries and a diagnosis of colitis (an inflammation of the colon, which later had to be removed) have kept him out of the league for two years. He's now back and I wish him the best.

Roof Complete:-)

The new shingles are on and the guys are cleaning up outside right now. It looks SO GOOD!!! Not only did they put on a killer looking roof, they also cleaned out the gutters all the way around my house. It helps to know people for sure:-)

This part of home improvement is now complete! On to finishing the garage this weekend.

Matchstick Men

I forgot to mention that I saw Matchstick Men the other day. Really good movie. Nick Cage was great. Rent it now:-)

Out with the old

So the old shingles are no more. Gone dumpster diving they have. I got home around 5:30pm and the guys were still working, getting the roof ready for the shingles they will put on tomorrow. I'm excited to have it done:-)

I also sprayed down the walls in the garage and am ready to really give it a good cleaning this weekend when I have more room (the dumpster is right up to my garage door).

More updates coming soon.

Rain, Rain and more Rain

So I got home yesterday and started loading the dumpster before it began raining like a Hurricane was somewhere out there. Wow! Major rain! I still got a lot done, but not as much as I would have.

According to the weather report there are scattered showers throughout the morning and then partly sunny from 1pm on. I wonder what effect this will have on the guys that are supposed to start on the roof today? My feeling, because they have yet to show up, is that I may now be a day behind...at least a morning behind.

Everything in its plan though. That just means more time to throw stuff in the dumpster:-)
