It’s been a while, but I’ve been busy so back off!

After a whirlwind July being and being out of town every darn weekend, I finally got a chance to settle in at home for the weekend, do a little work around the house, and catch some good Olympic games coverage.

I finally was able to find decent 5/4″ x 6″ x 12 PT deck boards.  And I’ll be darned but the Endeavor can damn near swallow em.  I only needed 7.  A large number have been a trickier transport home, but it was all good.  They are drying out as we speak and will get put on this week.  Then it’s time to stain them and seal the new fence.  I need a new garage door, service door, and garage door opener too… I could go on, but it’ll get depressing.

I’ve been obsessed with the Olympics.  Let’s just say I got my fair share of coverage this weekend.  I watched plenty of swimming, USA vs China in basketball and water polo.  I’ve seen plenty of beach and indoor volleyball and as I mentioned both are absolutely outrageous.  I can’t imagine being on the receiving end of some of those kills.  A couple of highlights stick out in my head — Dalhausser/Rodgers losing to Latvia, the US Men’s Indoor Volleyball team pulling out a tough match against Venezuela, May-Treanor/Walsh continuing their sport’s dominance, Michael Phelps’ quest to become the most successful Olympic athlete of all time, and of course the rousing upset of the Frenchies in the Men’s 4×100 Freestyle.  Awesome race!  I can’t wait to see what else the games bring us.  You can bet that I’ll be watching both the men’s and women’s triathlon as well.  I don’t care if it’s streamed at 3AM.

Aaron Rodgers gets his first start tonight.  Even though it’s only their first preseason game, it’ll be interesting to see how he comes out and how fans react to his success or failures on the field.  I feel it might get ugly if he doesn’t perform.
