morphsci Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Not nearly as exciting as bungee jumping, I left work early to watch the new kitchen counter tops installed. The back splash will be done on Monday. It only took 17 years. Pictures of some absolutely gorgeous granite I must have missed these earlier. That is some of the most beautifully patterned granite I have seen. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Woke up after an amazing night out (wine tasking->cocktails->amazing dinner) without a hangover. Got dressed and headed out to the bike store for a computrainer "race", I got owned in the hill climb race but then I won race around central park. Then came home and rode 55 miles on the computrainer at home, which sucked from beginning to end. Price I have to pay for amazing dinners. Nice dinner at home with the wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 "wine tasking" -- realize it's a typo, but spent an inordinate amount of time trying to come up with a definition anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manaox2 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I spent the weekend visiting the family, cheated on my diet to go out to eat with them. It was a special occasion exemption in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopstretch Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Watched the sun come up out of a blood-red Indian Ocean while drinking tea on the roof deck of my parents' house at 5:30 am. This partially compensated for being up at 5:30 am, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 woke up, still sick (something sinusy), studied accounting, went to store, bought oranges and romaine and roses, presented to GF, who isn't a rose kind of girl, but I figured every once in a while what girl doesn't like roses on Valentines? (her other present was some PortaPros for her Zune) friend came over, helped him with his accounting homework, the three of us watched this gnarly Bernie Worrell documentary, watched cartoons on fox.

Nebby Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Travel safe, don't hurry, if you get tired stop. Thanks, definitely taking it easy and swapping driving with my dad regularly. Lack of traffic is nice, though I hear I should expect some around San Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 got up at 6:30, watched thomas win the rematch against the team from yesterday. Now he's showering, then we're gonna pack up and head back south, just in time for another snowstorm at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Direct translation is translation "Bun Day". Tomorrow we have "Eat until you burst day", when it is customary to eat salted meat until you can't possibly eat any more, and on Wednesday it is "Ash Day" where kids dress up in costumes and sing for people in exchange for candy.

From the way those kids are being stuffed, sounds like the week ends with Hansel and Gretal day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Put together a crib, dining room table, and chairs for the dining room table. Then went to a local camera shop only to find that they don't have any of the models I wanted to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Drove seemingly forever to get back from Tahoe. Wasn't really forever, but we sailed up there so damn fast on Saturday that 5.5 hours seemed it. Before that, I got to see my son skiing and having fun with his buddy who spent the weekend with us. This is his best bud and he is about to go to Paraguay to spend 5 months living with relatives and going to school there. Bummer for the little guy but this was a nice send-off.

Knuckledragger Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Managed to lock my keys in my car, which turned what should have been a minor errand for mum into an ordeal. Nothing like waiting around outside in the cold for half an hour when one has a sinus infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
