Personal:

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Poor man's cleats. this works a LOT better than you would think! Very quick and easy.

Are you cheap like me? Put those little hotties in a ziplock bag and use them again tomorrow!

Kickstart your dead Garmin
Hold down the reset/lap button and the mode button together to get your 205/305/310xt to restart if it won't turn on or if it freezes up.

It was tough getting started today. It did get better after three miles except for the wicked headwind during mile 7. Now if I can just get some rest before Saturday, I might be ready for that 15k.

Cutting base and door moldings today...still...
I am so not a carpenter!

You may not be a carpenter, but at least you're trying to be like Jesus.

Great run, by the way.

Remodeling is so fun! We finally finished our living room. Finally!

Thanks Burt. I'm tryin' to be like Him, but it ain't easy all the time :)

I wonder what Jesus would have said if he hit his thumb with a hammer? (really hard... a couple times)

April27 - What did you do to your living room?

From Burt on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 18:24:12 from 206.19.214.144

He would say that didn't hurt as bad as the time I suffered for Rattletrap's sins. :)

True that!

Well it was aproject that started 3 years ago. the So built a wall and it was never painted. And we still need to add some sort of a table top to it (it is a 1/2 wall with pillars)

Then he finally put the second coat of paint on the walls and then painted the wanscoating. Oh and he finished painting the of the frames of the windows. That was tough b/c there was soo much gunk on it. I'm glad it is done!

Now on to the kitchen! maybe new drywall-paint-fixtures etc

Just a face lift so it doesn't look like it was built in the 50's
