This past weekend I spent most of Friday night playing GTA online with Ken.

Cooperative missions had us a bit befuddled at first, but eventually, much to the joy of our teammates, we figured out what the hell we’re supposed to be doing.

Saturday was a day mostly relaxing around the house.

Leif likes to chill with me on the couch:

Sunday was spent at the office, but such is life.

Lethy and my mom love to garden.

And I must say, the results are great. It’s always nice to walk out the door heading to work and be greeted by the aroma of lots of flowers.

Which flowers are which, I haven’t a clue.

Here’s some pics of round 1 of the 2008 front garden:

The yellow tulip type flowers grew out and around the small pines, stretching for light. It was quite impressive.

And the latest set of flora:

Missed in between the 2 pictures was when the Iris’s bloomed. Sorry, I will try to do a better of documenting the various floral phases next year!

I am a strapping young man.

But today, I became 100x more strapped… for just $10!

As the summer has heated up… the idea of taking a nice relaxing, cold shower in my hard worked for, travertine tile shower sounds really appealing.

However, there is a problem with that….

The shower is still quite far from functional.

The next phase of the project: Clean the tile to prep it for sealing and grouting.

Step 1: Get a sponge.

Step 2: Scrub.

Step 3: Sweat. Warning… this is a little graphic.

Step 3a: Scrub and Sweat at the same time. Sorry, no photo of that. I know you are sorely disappointed.

Scrubbing AND sweating is truly a great feat. So great in fact, that all photos of it have been deemed classified.

Step 4: Take off your gloves….

Admire your handy-work… doesn’t wet tile just look so great?

Step 5: Marvel at how shriveled your fingers are:

Step 6: Take a shower… in the other bathroom.

Watching last night’s Mets game was fun.

The game was close, the score swung back and forth…

But just as the commentators and all the pundits have said since, it somehow seemed the Mets refused to lose.

Hopefully its a sign of things to come and not just an aberration.

Sorry, not much blogging today… I had to model roughly 50 supports and didn’t even get started on that until after lunch.
