My Body Hurts!!!

Hey there friends. Man, my body hurts. On Sat, I was expecting a delivery from Lowes. I'm going to lay some cement to extend our patio area. Lowes got here early but the dude came with an 8 foot wide forklift that was NOT going to fit in my little ass 2 and half foot wide door. So what's the solution? Leave your shit on your lawn!

This is the half I left on the lawn...


Man... The dude drove the forklift and dropped 3 palettes of Quikrete cement on my lawn. I had to carry all 110 bags of the stuff from the front lawn to the back of the house and they are bags of 90 lbs each. I had to do it in two days, seeing that on Saturday, we had parties to go to and there was no way in hell I was going to move all of that and get ready for parties.

And here is the rest of it.


We ended up leaving the house about and hour and half after the cement got there so I left more than half of it on the lawn hoping that no one would take it. Like someone was gonna run by and snatch it. lmao Come Sunday morning, sore as hell, I dragged myself out of the bed and finished the job. So now I have 110 bags of cement sitting on my patio out back and my forearms feel like their about to rip open. On top of that, we start the gym today... I think today's workout is going to be light. Maybe do more running and leg work than heavy weight lifting and arm work.

I have pics of the cement sitting on my lawn and were I moved it in the back. I'll post those later since I left the cam in the car and I'm feeling waaaaaaay too lazy to walk out there and get it. lol Later!

Guitar Fiend

Hey there. Yesterday, I played guitar for the first time in quite awhile. I have a Kirk Hammett 602 and yesterday as I attempted to play some stuff, I noticed that I'm awfully slow, hammer ons and pull offs are nowhere near where they used to be and my timing was completely off. I'm going to have to spend a little more time working on my chops. One of my favorite songs to play, Master of Puppets, was completely butchered by me yesterday. I got a little down on myself and decided to put my gear away.

I won't be able to get any practice in today since we have 4 parties to attend at 3 PM. Scratch that, it's now 3. It was 2 graduation parties and 2 birthday parties. We're not sure how we're going to divvy up out time among the three... Then to top it off, I'm expecting a delivery from Lowes today. I am extremely upset with them because I wanted to lay cement on our back yard to extend our patio and the delivery was scheduled to arrive on May 7th or 8th. It is May 31st and they are now just getting around to delivering my cement. Damn bastards. So we wont be able to go anywhere until that arrives...

Hopefully, that shipment won't come late... I've had my yard all dug up for some time now and our dog, Odin, loves to roll around in the dirt so I need that cemented so that I don't have to wash the dog every other day. lol

Checking out the Autozone site. I need to give the car an oil change. Gotta find a good deal since the economy is so bad. I think I'm going with the filter and 5 qrts of oil for $15. That sounds good. I'm off friends. I'll catch ya later.
