5/18 Weekend update:
1. Attended theGM's mother's memorial service Friday. Wow, incredible woman. Working geriatrics for seven years gave me a perspective on our aged that only continues to strengthen over the years. Bottom line is our elderly are the most interesting people in the world...the young are boring by comparison. She was a hell of a woman and lived a good life, and a fascinating one to boot. There must have been over a hundred of her peers in attendance...a testament to say the least. Saw the GM's younger brother for the first time in years. Makes me wonder how fun it would be if he were still in the States rather then visiting from the Middle East. The rest of our motley gang were there as well...the group looked like a cross between the mafia and the secret service.
2. Had lunch afterwards with a few of the guys...Paella and Jubalaya are close to my most favorite foods ever.
3. Played a bit of Tekken Tag. My choices are Ogre and True-Ogre. I simply cannot be beaten!! Playing against pro's like theProfessor and Rave-Boy provided little competition...such is my utter domination.
4. Ran with the wife...boy was it hot this past couple of days. We're settling into a 3/2 for 30 minutes; 3 run/2 walk, about 2 miles. We were surprised that we could have gone a bit further but decided to follow the Galloway method and not expose ourselves to possible injury. My goal is to do 5/1 comfortably for 40 minutes, about 4 miles. Maybe by next year do 10/1 for an hour...that should be good for 7 miles.
5. Yard Work Saturday...man was it hot. Tweaked the in-line drip system, fertilized everything, laid down some anti-varmint product over the new mulch. Varmints have been using the pristine mulch as a toilet. If they want to wage war, then they will have it! I will not yield! Will not succumb! Will not stand for their little poop!
6. Gamed Saturday night at theDiscourser's...had a great turn-out. If Cajun is reading this, DUDE, when can you visit? Played some L5R. With the GM and I playing Yojimbo, we have a pretty good strategy going. Keeping our flanks protected while the heavy hitters do their work. Ate alot of the Moose's London Broil...mmmm.
7. Sunday, car work and refurbished the grill. Two of my wheels have alot of curb rash. Fixing them is a day long process of sanding with 400, then 1000-wet, then putty, then sanding again with 400, then 1000-wet, then prime, then sand with 1000-wet, then 3 coats of Wurth German Silver. That's as far as I got. I'll be 1000-wet sanding the paint tonight and spraying on some lacquer.
The Grill looked terrible. Rust has eaten away at nearly every flat surface of the rolling stand. I scraped it down with a wire brush, devastated it with a random orbiter with 80 grit, cleaned it with mineral spirits, hit it with a thick coat of primer, put two coats of high-gloss duplicolor-black thePerfectLine had lying around, and finished it off with 2 coats of hi-temp engine enamel. Looks SOO much better, and the finish should protect if from the elements. Also picked up a new bottle of propane...will be busting out some burgers tonight with the wife.
Thats it for now....

I'm reading it......unfortunately it's so damn expensive to fly right now. My folks aren't even coming out here to visit this year as it's like 1,400 dollars for two round trip. Nuts!!!! We have been planning to visit soon though. You guys will be amongst the first to know.
"Temp: 96 Humidity: 88%" heh, heh. I've already experienced this horrid weather, but I've got one better, it was also raining, hahahaha. Thank God I'm finally home:)
