WIP, GPOY “Safety First” edition, and vandalism.

The weirdest thing about the hutches is that they are different: the north one has a brick exterior, but the south one does not, and so the exterior walls had to be framed.

Today was detoured by the need to go back and buy 300lb of concrete to fill in an inexplicable trench in the north hutch, but at least the kids had fun with it.

Guess who:
doesn’t have to go to work for the next ten days?
has enjoyed a week+ of record high temperatures?
is savoring a Great Lakes “Edmund Fitzgerald” handcrafted Porter?
just got back from maybe the best parent/teacher conference EVER?
is going to take the family for gelato to celebrate all of the above?
In this moment, anyway, living the dream. Sometimes, the Universe gives back.

I’ve posted a lot of GPOY lately…sue me, I guess. But I really like this pic of me and my sister from last night at my aunt’s house.

This theater is putting up a production of Annie soon. 

Tempted, but it’s just a tad small.

GPOY (and extremely SS) T.
Timeline leading to this greatness:
9:30pm collapse unconscious and exhausted
11:30pm awake due to violent, dry coughing
5:00am fall back asleep
5:45am alarm goes off
6:15am come downstairs and move all the really heavy family room furniture you blew off last night for the window installers
6:45am consider odd twinge in lower back, perilously near previously-damaged L5/S1 disc
7:15am take glorious photo while waiting for those motherfuckers to get here at 8:00am at which time a vicious, semi-bilingual argument (mowimy po polsku?) about damaged plaster will ensue
sometime later go to work LOL

I took the blue line home tonight because of the snow, and I’m super disappointed that no one did anything crazy like they do when David rides the red line.
It was just a bunch of tired people playing with their phones or whatever. No one whipped out their junk. So I call bullshit.

OMG you guys this morning there was a whole line of n00bs out there signing up as new members!

Long time* veterans like me know the new years resolution crowd won’t last. 

Meanwhile, I am wondering what 22yo me would have thought of 44yo me working out at 9am on new years day. 

And 44yo me wants to eat a Family Size bag of Cheetos right. now.

GPOY, c. 1993, backchecking/defensive-minded winger edition.
I’m a mucker, I’m a grinder, I’m a loose puck finder.

Throwback Thursday…guessing about 1974-5.
My son has exactly the same hair, the poor bastard.
