October 2007 Archives

Some new pics are up in the gallery from some recent home improvement projects we've completed.  There is a pic of the new tile floor we have in the bathroom.  We are very happy with the results.  It took a few extra days to get the toilet re-installed and caulked, the tile sealed with 20 year sealer and the door cut to fit, but we think the extra effort will be worth it in the long run.  Also pictured are some shots I took after playing lumberjack all day one Sunday.  I bought a chainsaw and limbed our big pine tree in the side yard after Jakki had gone to work.  Lucky for me, she was pleased with the results   It was hard work!  The saw gets pretty heavy after a few hours, and taking a shower afterwards I discovered wood chips in all sorts of places I didn't expect.  Finally, there's a pic of my new motorcycle.  I've been riding it to work when the weather is nice to save on gas, and I have also taken a few good long rides with my friend Pat.  He has the exact same bike, just a year newer.  Pretty soon, riding season will come to an end and I will have to fit it in the garage with two cars.  Last weekend we moved a bunch of stuff downstairs into the previously unused storage area by the furnace, so I think we will have room.  That's pretty much the news for now.  We are looking forward to Turkey Day in Genesee.
