Thoughts on the Weekend

  • Girlie Bear learned another of those “You can’t be up all night having fun and then expect to be fresh as a daisy at 8 AM” lessons.
    • It’s kind of nice to see her come to the conclusion that only crazy people try to do that all by herself.
  • When you remind me that your company will be sending me a survey to get my opinions on your work, and the first word that goes through my mind is “douchebag”, that’s not a good thing.
  • Working on Information Technology is a lot like Intelligence work:
    • You usually know what you think you know.
    • You sometimes know what you need to know.
    • You occasionally know what you’re expected to figure out.
    • Usually, you stumble across something you didn’t expect to find out.
      • Most of the time, it’s not a good thing.
    • Once in a blue moon, all of those things happen at once, and it’s a good thing.
      • Today was not one of those rare occasions.
  • I’m not sure what was going on, but when asked if he wanted anything for his bath, Boo requested sunblock and parachutes.
  • I could set my clock by Irish Woman and her ‘need’ to be outside and digging.
    • Last week of March is always “Let’s get out there and tear things up!” weekend at our house.
  • April showers may bring May flowers, but March rain and sleet bring extra work to get the garden in during April and May.
    • I’m a good two weeks behind schedule on the fence and new garden beds built because some days it’s nice out and the next day it’s February again.
  • The new garden beds are designed.
    • As of now, the design is simple, sane, and relatively inexpensive.
    • I’ve found a way that I can build these and not have to dig and move half a ton of red clay soil.
    • We’ll see how long that lasts.

    Don’t worry my friend. It’ll be August, tomorrow.

    Sounds like the ‘plan’ is coming together… and I’m sure Girlie will learn that lesson a few more times… 🙂

    What? You don’t have to clear snow and ice and possibly a bit more snow before reaching frozen dirt and then using a pickaxe to dig?
    I am living in the wrong State…damn…
