Deck saga........part BLEH...

Ok, so I got back on task with my deck. I finished the deck part of the deck but it's still essentially just a big wooden table aside of my pool. Next thing to do is to build the steps to lead up to the heavens of deckus maximus. I went down to the local Home Depot and got some 2"x12" to build stringers and some red wood 2"x6" for the steps. All was good until I started cutting the pressure treated lumber...dammit... my circular saw started to bind and wander thus f'ing up my 18 dollar stringer. Geez, I then dug out my old 10 inch circular saw.....same damned thing. Then I realized that the wood was saturated with the pressure treatment chemicals that when I started to cut the wood it would start to swell and clinch down on my blades. So, I had my old trusty hand saw... did the trick but my arms, back, and chest are hurting like a mofo today. I guess I had to start up my work out routine sometime. haha.

As for my doc appointment, I guess for my size I'm actually pretty healthy. BP is good, dang supermarket bp machines started to freak me out cuz I was getting outragous bp readings. I guess my guns that I developed last summer were too big for the machines. Haha. Blood sugar is normal. Cholesterol is elevated. Too many dead cows eaten this summer. The doc told me to eat vegetables and eat fruits..... man, that seems to be all I do eat. I loves me a good salad and steamed veggies. I don't even salt things or shlather them in sauces and goop. Docs never believe you though. All in all, it just seems that I should get off my ass more often. More juice and fewer brewskis. Bleh. Well, the girls are back in school, I can get back into a regular routine soon. We'll see.

the saga of my deck......

Well, I got the deck part of the deck completed. I still have to attach a set of steps and the hand rails. One thing that I've found that I can peak in to other folks' yards and stuff easily. Reminds me of that King of Queens episode. What I think I'll be doing is tacking some outdoor shade material around the railing to add some privacy for my neighbors and also cut the wind. Sometimes it will be hot as hell but the wind keeps us inside so this wind break will hopefully add some more swimming days. I'll post some pics soon.

After my doctor's appointment yesterday, I took lunch to my wife at her classroom where she teaches the Behavioral Intervention Program (BIP). I took a pic of her list of penalties on the bulletin board. She has a wild bunch of kids. And yes, every one of those infractions has happened and some that couldn't be be noted on the board. Read bold content on bottom. Please, folks....raise your kids right.

METALLICA at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, NM, October 23, 2008. I don't know about you but this venue takes me back to the Ozzy Osbourne/ Metallica Ultimate Sin Concert Tour of May 16, 1986. It rocked then and it should rock again now. I remember getting the beer cup from Cliff Burton. Styrofoam as it was, it went up on my shelf of fame in my bedroom. Then came the day my mom cleaned my room. Moms...they'll never understand.

Somebody asked me, "why did you buy clubs that were so expensive?" Then followed by, "you aren't even that good."

My response was.... because I can.

I know I'm not that good at golf. Besides, having good equipment is important. You would never want to buy shitty tools to build a house. You'll always question the tools and not your skills. If you have good tools and the house don't have have one square angle on it, you're just a shitty golfer.

Isleta golf

This past Saturday I played 18 holes at Isleta GC with my brother. Damn it was hot. I shot a 100+, won't discuss it, but it was a awesome course. I've never played there before and I think I'll be more of a regular because it is such a good facility. For 55 bucks it is a good deal. I'll probably try to get out there and try it again. Hopefully it'll be a little cooler and the beer cart girl is on task.

My new clubs did well. I got a new Callaway '06 460X 9deg Driver, 3W and 5W X fairway woods, 2H X Hybrid ( I might dump my 3i for good),and an Odyssey 2 ball putter. I should have taken my old putter before taking my new one because I just couldn't get good control of it. I just have to work on my strokes and stop thinking about golf and just play.
