How have you been, Rob?

Good morning miss Wendy and all.
Hey Darrin.....I've been in good health lately, and even though the summer has been short it's been real nice up north. I hope all the crappiness in your life is coming to an end.

Doing any racing this year?

Good Morning everyone!

Looks like it may rain today so I'm off to put some hardwood under cover. I picked up a beautiful solid oak mantle from an old house they were remodeling. 7 ft. long!

I just spent the morning laying flooring and installing a new toilet in my bathroom. Swapping out your toilet becomes an interesting project when you only have one in the house. Pull out old toilet, scrape out old linoleum under it (rest of bathroom already had old linoleum scraped up, that was wife's job) lay new flooring, go get pizza while glue dries, then install new toilet. Started at 9:00, done by 1:00. Had help from my nephew, he's 15 and actually had already changed a few toilets for his grandma, so he handled that part of it. Big strong kid.

Everything went fine. I used a vinyl plank flooring that can be cut with a utility knife or even heavy scissors. All that's left is the molding around the floor.

I couldn't help but think of what was a signifigant project for an old fart like me and what a miniscule thing it is compared to what going to need to be done over probably the next decade in southern Texas.

The first couple days of Harvey we got a few showers but nothing since. .6" total here @my house.

Houston hogged all the rain. We would have gladly taken more rain to relieve them from all the flooding rain.

Winged him. Just barely. Mere flesh wound.

But still 5 sec penalty.

Collateral damage. Everyone has to die. Get down!!!

little bird story:

this just happened. i'm in my office, Mrs. DAB is watching the news and a little sparrow flies into the large window. thunk. she tells me he's on the ground dazed. go outside, he's alive, gently pick him up, take him to the bird bath in case he wants a sip of water. go get some fresh water, pet him a bit, and after about 5 min, he flies off.



get better little dude.

"6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
