So some friends decided to sign up for an indoor soccer league at a new facility that opened up in south Austin, and I agreed to play. They also decided to play in a 4-game tournament two days before the league games started… What I was thinking? Why would I want to run around chasing a ball for two hours? And then be unable to move the next two days? Oh and on top of that, lose every game! Ugh, I won’t go into the details because it’s embarrassing…
Anyhow, I ordered more hardwood for the master bedroom, since the living room turned out so well. Plan to have that done before Mom & Chris visit in June. When grandma was visiting I also ordered new office furniture, which will be here soon. I’ll post some pics once I get it all situated.
Oh yeah, grandma’s visit went well. We had a great time at the Riverwalk in San Antonio.
Playing poker tonight. This weekend I’m going to pressure wash the front of the house. Prep work for painting that I need to get done before it gets too hot. Oh yeah, there are also F1 and ALMS races this weekend, plus the NCAA Final Four. Go UNC!

Been a long time since I posted. I’ll try to catch up.
After Petit Le Mans, I started working on the hardwood floors. What a long project, but boy was it worth it. I finished putting down the wood, but wasn’t quite complete before I had to go home to NC for my holiday visit on […]

Mark and I went to Petit Le Mans in Atlanta again this past week. We camped at the same spot as last year. The weather was great this year, barring one full day & night of light scattered rain.
Below is a pic of our campsite. If you remember our setup from last year, […]

Parents, Chris, and I met in Destin, FL for a week of fun in the sun. We stayed at a little condo that we had previously stayed at twice before. It’s a perfect sized place for us. One bedroom, one bath, bunk beds in the hall for Chris & I, and a fully furnished kitchen. […]

Chris’s class participated in the Flat Stanley project. He made a Stanley and sent it to me to spend a week with around Austin. (Click here if you’ve never heard of Flat Stanley.) Here’s the letter and pics I sent back to Chris.

Hi Chris,
Stanley arrived safely in Austin about a week ago. […]

Finished buttoning up the truck’s repairs on Saturday. Monday I picked up the flywheel from the machine shop, and after work Kris and Mike came over to help me reinstall the transmission. Everything went smooth and the truck was driveable right away. All I had left to do was install a new […]

So, I was leaving work Friday before last, and as I pulled out of my parking spot, I couldn’t get the truck into gear. Dang it! Looked in the clutch fluid reservoir and it was empty. Luckily I topped it off, pumped the clutch pedal and was able to get it home. […]

Bought windshield wipers and cabin air filters for the Acura. It was past-due on both.
Went over to Mark’s to help him finish some random projects to […]

Phew, it’s good to be back in Austin in my own house. Of course, I miss Crystal and family; it’s just nice being back in your own surroundings. Anyway, I got back Friday night. I only went to pick up my mail and watch football on Saturday, since the weather was rainy and […]
