don't mow the 9 acres, get some alpaca

I was actually thinking Cashmere goats.

That'll get you ready to go to afghanistan

Dan's got the right idea with not mowing all of it. Even I abandoned a part of my 2.5 acres of green shit in order to keep me sane.

I mowed 1 acre when I had 7

That sounds about right.

How far do you guys drive to work?

2 hrs , but I only go in 2-3 times a month

That sounds about right.

How far do you guys drive to work?

30 min. each way, 45 if I'm on the bike and take back roads.

That's is about what my drive would be, maybe a little more.

Or you can get some kids that'll do the mowing for you.

What's a lawn?

Stuff that goats like eating.

Working late at work.

This is late, but congrats Ian on the new job.

Congrats Jay. I wish you both much happiness. Now wedding planning

Updated the firmware on my

Finally!

Finally finished with all the E3 crap and can get back to a normal life...

Congrats Jay. I wish you both much happiness. Now wedding planning

Thanks. I'm safe for a while, as we can't afford the wedding for a few years.

Toby Keith?

Close...

How far do you guys drive to work?

5 minutes now, depending on crowds downtown. 5 minute walk in a few weeks!

Thanks. I'm safe for a while, as we can't afford the wedding for a few years.

So the ring bought you the most valuable thing of all... Time!

HA!

We've been dating since 2001. It was time to make the next step, even if the actual wedding won't be for a few years. Realistically, we can't

(comfortably) afford it until I finish school, and have a REAL paycheck coming in. My stipends barely cover my own bills as it is.

Although it wasn't required by anybody, we wanted to be engaged before moving out.

I've been deep in the throes of an upper respiratory infection my housemate was kind enough to bring me back from New Jersey. There's been a nice fever to go along with it. The end result is a pounding headache, deep, but ineffectual coughs and an inability to sleep or stand up for any length of time.

Wow, hope you feel better.

Yeah, ditters -- there's a lot of that going around -- my housemate and two of my coworkers got it.

Lawns and jobs are highly overated. I am ready to get rid of both.

put my winter clothes into totes to go to the basement

Took the afternoon off and went down to the start of the Festival of the Arts. This is a celebration of local art, music and food. Happened to catch this local indie band before I headed back home. I'm not a big indie fan, but a fun sound and high energy.

1st day back at work after vacation. Sigh.

Up promptly at 7 AM after usual late, late, late Thursday night cigar night at the Smoke Shop, 6 hours of private patients, 35 patients at a 2 hour skin cancer screening for out town's Health Center, ordered balanced cables from APS for the HD800s, dinner with the family at a local French bistro with 2 unbelievable bottles of wine and an evening of HD800 enjoyment. Life is good!
