TGIF Benny. Sorry no pics from me.

[Blu-Benny]

thanks guys!!! hope you have a great weekend!!!

so what i'm currently kicking around. i've been collecting different magazines (ones w/cool covers or great cover stories) and i have a couple of the big harry potter behind the scenes books.

i want to figure out a way i can put something in my HT where the books and magazines can be grabbed and read but have it out of the way.

not quite sure what i'm gonna be able to come up with yet.

I might put my dart board on the non-HT side of that column when I’m done building my bar.

Maybe I could work something out to put in that little corner above the sub right now.

Wouldn’t take up too much space there.

Well, since I have my JBL’s now, I built an auction last week for the Athena speakers I was previously using.



They sold as of yesterday….used the money to buy:

Game of Thrones Season 1
Austin Powers Collection

Thanks bill….didn’t get a lot for them…$56.

But, they are out of the house and I got 2 sets I was looking @ so all in all, it worked out.

Happy hump day BB

Thanks bill!!!

It was a rough morning.

Had to wake up and give my little man a nebulizer treatment @ midnight last night.

Both kids are sick so I was fighting w/them to get them ready, dropped my daughter off @ school, got my son to the baby sitters (he cried non-stop as I was leaving), stopped and got gas and some McD’s, went home to grab the bike, was putting everything in the bike and I ended up puncturing the can of AMP I had w/the fork from my lunch.

Stopped to get another AMP on the way to work and was 2 min. late.

Hope the kids feel better
It seems that there have been some particularly nasty bugs going around this season
I don't know what I would do without my coffee so I feel your pain/need to replace the AMP

I’m hoping so too. my daughter has had a nasty cough for almost 3 weeks now. The dr’s said it’s a form of whooping cough….but it’s not the actual whooping cough.

We have to give both of them nebulizer treatments every 4 hours…my son needs them through the night. He’s had quite a history of lung things already….and he’s almost 4 only.

Worst part is neither of them really were sick this winter up until a couple weeks ago. good thing it’s getting so nice now finally.

on a more cheerful subject, my wife is trying to talk me into redoing our living room.

ripping off the plaster down to the studs, insulating, new drywall, new trim, new paint, new carpet....everything!!!

part of me wants to b/c then we'll finally have lights in the ceiling....we're using table lamps right now. and then we'd also get a ceiling fan which would be nice.

just have to wait to hear what's gonna happen here @ work. our gov't contract is supposed to be decided by the end of the month if we're gonna retain it or not.

Well, between a combination of a small design flaw on my part and a change in the packaging by the studio….my harry potter ultimate editions don’t fit in my movie stand.

The shelf they are currently sitting on is not perfectly level….it’s somewhere between 1/16” & 1/8” higher on the right side. And when I drilled the holes, I went all the way through and used the same hole for the pegs for the next shelf on it’s left side which is off by the same amount.

i’m gonna need about 35-40 blus to move the HP sets far enough to the right where they’ll fit on that 1st row again.

if the studio didn’t change the size of the packaging…..#’s 3-6 are just a hair taller than the 1st 2…..they would still fit.

I like those brackets. May need to get some, baby is crawling and getting ready to walk. I need to get the speakers out of the way or lock her in the dog carrier.

Hey Hey B B it's FRIDAY

Any killer plans for the weekend? I'm going to cut the winter weeds in my yard Saturday. It would be nice if I spread weed blocker in the fall that it would actually work.

I’ve got to get 3 more deer put together 2morrow….i’m 2 behind right now.

The kids start up swimming lessons again 2morrow morning, then we’ll come home and I’ll work on my deer. Then I’ll relax the rest of the day….hopefully.

Sunday we’ll wake up and go to church and then I’m gonna work on taking the xmas lights off the house. I’ve got to remember my ipod when I leave work today.

Our lawn seems to be mostly weeds, if i used weed blocker, we'd have dirt.
