What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Yeah, I guess its longer when you are involved.

I'm not sure what kind of Catholic the wedding I went to was, but it took a long time. It was around 2 1/2 hours or so. A really long wedding as far as I'm concerned.

Finally get some levels on WoW. Happy about that.

It's been 2+ weeks, but we once again have sink and toilet upstairs. Will be another week or so until I grout the rest of the tile and install the shower, but this is nice progress...

: SNES power cord still has not arrived.

Radio Shack is your friend if you have one near by.

Trying to get an official SNES brick .

Guy has promised to get it here by Monday or give me a full refund, but I am very tempted to just file an a-z claim and be done with it :X. Either way this guy is getting a colorful review from me. Plus there are multiple other sellers offering the same item for the same price at the moment.

: Amazon sent me an email informing me that Beetlejuice: The Complete Series had been released on DVD! Oh, nostalgia!

: $80! F*&# that. I don't want it that much.




(Maybe when if it hits $50.....)

Good to see it's finally getting a release though. *foghorn*

I'm super impressed dood. Tiling is such back breaking work. Keep it up!

[mjmjr25]

Thanks. I've always used an angle grinder w/diamond blade for tile work. Midway through this job I broke down and just bought a wet saw instead. So much cleaner and faster. The dust created by dry cutting tile is intense and it gets everywhere.

Tile looks great, lasts forever, and it doesn't take a ton of skill to install - but...there is a lot of prep work (right backerboard) and laying everything out beforehand w/chalk line, accounting for fixtures, walls, corners, things not being level, grout lines, etc. Then, each stage is just so messy, you really have to do it all outside and then transport materials. Turning the corner feels really good though. I'm excited to be able to install the light fixtures tonight and then the shower and door/window trim next week.

I did all the tiling in my Kitchen and didn't get the right backer board so now it has some issues. I need to re-do it, but it's such a daunting task and it doesn't need to be done right away so I'm focused outside. I'll have to post pics of all the progress I've made outside so far. Looking really good, I think I'm gonna try and do a firepit this year too.

Please do! I've neglected the outside thus far, but have a few things lined up for July. A firepit is not one of them. I've had 3 really close calls. I have this stump in my yard that is essentially petrified (axed it and just does nothing, the axe bounces off...). So, I was going to burn it. So, I light it on fire, but it just won't take off - I decide to douse it w/gasoline straight from the plastic can. Apparently, there was still enough of a flame present that it jumped from the stump, up the flow of gas and straight to the can - I panicked and dropped the can, now the flame was inside the can and basically a 5 gallon bomb sitting there.

In my quick thinking, I ran to get the hose...proceeding to spread the fire through our grass and to the tree line.

My daughter, 9 at the time (very serious, very smart, very much the parent when she and I are together) starts crying and screaming at me to turn off the hose. "Dad, stop it, you don't know what you're doing. STOP!" She runs to the garage, grabs one of my big work blankets, gives it to me, and I put it on the fire and suffocate it.

Long story short, like I said, i've had 3 really close calls the past couple years and my neighbors had what is tatamount to an intervention, where they asked me to please not have fires and to get rid of my burn barrel. The 4 of us live on a private road in the woods, so we're pretty close about stuff like pets / noise...and apparently fire
