The Battles of Summer

So I was about to post something about why I haven't posted in a day or so, but then I saw that it was 5:22pm. We can only water the grass between 5 and 10, AM and PM. So I set down the ole laptop to "quickly set up the sprinklers" while I mulled over what to Blog about.

#1. I bought a new sprinkler today at Home Depot. The stupid thing wouldn't change directions where it was supposed to, I got water all over our windows trying to get it set. Eventually, I determined it was a piece of crap, so I burned up another 10 minutes looking for the receipt to return it tommorrow.


#2. Set the old sprinkler up in its place, trying to not get water near our basement windows and on the neighbor's truck. The basement will flood and the water is so hard here it leaves ungodly water spots on cars. It took awhile, hitting dry/dead spots, avoiding windows/cars.


#3. Set another sprinkler on the other side of the driveway. This one's yer standard, back and forth rainbow shaped jobby. "old faithful." Got it setup, but oh crap, the wind changed direction, gotta reposition "old sprinkler" before I flood my basement!


#4. Got "old sprinkler" repositioned, but now "old faithful" is hitting my car! Unhook old faithful, use the hose to squirt down any dust on the car so I can chamois off the water without scratches. Car's dry, move it out of the driveway next to the other neighbor's boat that never moves. Now you gotta hook up "old faithful" again, hero.


So, after all this screwing around out there, I can finally sit down at 6:45 pm and start typing about... aw crap, I forgot now.

Well, I made kabobs yesterday, how's that for a topic? I bought 2 ribeyes, a pack o' shrooms, a big red onion and then threw caution to the wind and financed one red and one green bell pepper. How come bell peppers are So Freakin' Expensive? It's stupid. Oh well, they were delicious.

Here's some pics of the Kabobs on the grill. That's all for now, I gotta go over the loan paperwork on those peppers.
















My wife, kids, and co-workers think it's odd to take pictures of my food, but when I see these pictures, I remember how good it was. Mmmm, Kabobs....
