well lets see here......

there has been quite a few things going on here lately.......i dont know which to telly you first...so i guess i shall resort to chronological order........so monday we started some more work on our underdeck prevent water from leaking system. we realized our current plan was not exactly going to work....so we had to go back to the original plan which is still ok....so i had the pleasure of starting to take out all the little setup or base boards(not sure the correct term for it) that we had already installed.....basically pry it off the nails with a little titan nail remover/prybar and then instead of just removing the nails(because the heads kept popping off) i had to snip each individual nail, and then hammer it in.....talk about learning some patience....that paired with having to hold your hands up alot while standing on a stepstool.....made for a very interesting and painstaking time...but i got it all done.....so i got to feel some accomplishment.....during this time while i was working way to hard to have time for anything else, i was also texting my cousin (technically my cousin's husband - but who is speaking technically these days) about going to the redhook brewery up in woodinville. for all those not familiar with washington around the seattle area(which includes me) its kinda north of bellevue and seattle...i think...if not...just go with the story......anyways...they have tours through the day.....and basically you go there and take a tour of the brewery...see how they make the different beers and what not.....well we get there.....and realize that the tour itself is not going on...due to still being in winter hours....which is really bogus.....but instead we just went to the lounge/restaurant area......and ordered some nachos and edamame and then sampled a couple of their beers....my fav was their mudslinger....me and nate just sat and talked for like three hours....(we didnt get wasted so its ok).....and i really really had a great time!!! so thank you nate!!!
so that was basically my monday........and now....since i said we were doing that chronological stuff.....tuesday is next.....
i got up a little late with full intentions of going to the gym....and then got all mixed up doing some of the deckwork.....it consisted of putting up these 12foot by 26 inch "sheets" or "panels" of this stuff.....its a kinda sunglasses looking polycarbonate sheet that is a bit flimsy.....for all writing purposes im going to refer to it as the stuff...or the sheeting....or whatever i want....so that you know what i am talking about when i mention it.......anyways we took the stuff...and had to predrill it for the screw holes....then hold it up to the bottom of the deck...while standing on a ladder or stepstool or bucket....and make sure it was lined up...then screw in either end.....then while i was held to the roof....we had to drill the rest of the holes which means holding a drill above your head for forever......and then screw in the holes.......the only reason while i am going into such detail is so that you might be able to comprehend while i skipped out on the gym yesterday....doing all that....is such an excruciating shoulder workout...i mean it really burns your shoulders.....anyways....we got the part of the deck done that we wanted.....so we were able to bring down the bowflex which used to be in the garage...and put in down under the deck...so now it wil stay dry and it can be used outside for a workout...which with summer coming on sounds just amazing......after that.....it was time to move the door to the "attic" of the garage.....which consisted of unfolding the ladder...opening it up.....then completely unscrewing it from the base in the attic part of the garage.....once we gracefully had it unattached...and set down(which it slammed cause of the springs but my precious fingers are ok) we had to move the basewood....i think it is plywood.....and then recut the opening for where it was now going(which is on the other side of the garage so we didnt have to move the 3000 everytime we wanted in the attic.....and reinstall it......
so basicaly i have been having the chance to learn new skills which is great....and i have been doing my best to make sure and learn from the work i have been doing.....
i was going to leave this part out...but whatever.....so way back when i used to play a little magic "the gathering" which no matter how fantasy or nerdy it sounds...its really not...its basically a strategy game with some wierd illustrations on the front....that is it......anyways...my cousin joel also had some old cards up in the attic.....so when we were doin work, he got those down.....anyways....we stayed up until 2 in the morning...just playing some games...which was really fun......and watching an episode of southland...and then some episodes of bones.....which basically means the tv was just background noise...and we have no idea what went on in the episodes......cause we were too intrigued and involved in the games......so mark woke me up this morning...cause there was a brown or golden eagle flying around by our lake...so i got to see that.....then i am going to do a leg workout today....at the gym......then eat some macaroni salad which i was able to talk yvonne into making.....then tonite we pick up cam from the airport from his easter visit to cali.....and i still have one load of laundry to do...but if i keep putting it off...it sounds like i do laundry all the time cause i mention that one load....and i just sound like im doin good things all the time.......well anwyas....i have typed too much for one day....so i must stop....i know you were hoping to hear so much more of my interesting life...but if i told you everything...why would there be a next time?????? farewell and adieu(sp???) my dear spanish lady......thats a quote from a movie...name it...and you get a prize.....the end(well for now)
