A lot has happened since my last post. One thing recently is that I participated in the 1st Annual Hockey Fights MS hockey tournament in Burlington VT. That was July 25-27, 2008. I didn't take a camera but hopefully I'll be able to get some pictures from someone that was up there. We lost all 4 games but I had a great time playing and met some really nice people.
Tonight Malcolm came over to watch Star Wars Ep VI. The kids have all been watching the entire saga from Ep 1 over the last couple weeks. I watched about the last 15 minutes with them....that stuff never gets old for me!
My 4-wheeler is down at Blackman's getting looked at. I'm hoping to once again get it running. I tried cleaning the carb several times and finally got frustrated.
I also started a woodpile outside behind the shed this weekend. The theory goes that wood kept out in the sun and wind will dry much faster than if kept inside. We'll see. I have a pile 3 feet high - about 20 inches wide - and 24 feet long. By my calculations that's about 126 cubic feet. A standard cord of wood is 128 cubic feet. My camera is in NJ getting fixed - hopefully I'll get it back soon and I'll be able to take some pictures of the new pile. I bought 4 galvanized 3/4" pipes and mounted them on boards that were left over from David and Chrissy's pool landscaping. It looks pretty cool.
Also, in the time since my last post I've created accounts on
Facebook.com and
MySpace.com
- once we leave the dock we head down here to putz around a little. We usually see snakes under the rocks next to the damn wall. There are also wild grapes growing all over the place. Peck's Pond has given me hours or relaxation and entertainment over my lifetime. My dad took me when I was younger and now I'm taking my boys. It's such a relaxing trip (for the most part) and just great to get out and enjoy the ourdoors.
