    Rave: Lots of pipe work done with the system. The connected 55gal drums work how I wanted them to.
    Rant: Forgot to take the video in widescreen instead of vertical. Quality looks ok, but being able to actually enjoy watching it is shit.

    Since a few people wanted a progress update, I took a video.

    Rave: Mulled mead is really damn good.

    Rant: Why are people so ignorant of basic dog protocol? Walking my dogs and this mom brings her kid, who looks about four, over to pet them and I guess chat with me. Whatever, my dogs love kids, they play with my little cousins and second cousins all the time, but this kid proceeded to punch my dog pretty hard in the jaw, and then kicked him in the front legs. Maximus does what any dog would do I think in this situation; bit him hard enough to hurt but not break skin, and released him. Kid starts crying and pitching a fit and the kid's mom yells at me. Now, I didn't ask them to come up and pet the dog, so I said, "Look, I'm leaving but your kid for the record is a real prick." and left. People wonder why dogs maul and eat kids every year.

    Rave: Going to go both deer and elk hunting soon with my cousins, and hopefully we get some good meat and antlers.

    Rant: The three days are going to be nothing short of a nightmare.

    Rant I finally get a day off because work is slow and I throw out my back AND I got a call that I had fucked up a situation at work and now Im dreading my eventual return. So Im half zoned out on flexiral hoping to get my back right and half anxious and depressed about returning to work. I fucking hate my life.

    This sentence isn't helping change our minds.

    Rant: Nearly every morning I encounter the largest asshole on any public road in the world. When He isn't tailgating me or others, He is usually passing multiple cars in a non-passing zone, driving between 20 and 40 mph over the speed limit and recklessly endangering every other motorist between him and his destination. There are kids standing near the road, waiting for the school bus, slow the fuck down. I'm sick of sharing the road with him. I wish I could be there when the jaws of life pry his lifeless body out his Nissan Maxima, I just hope he dies alone, slowly and painfully.

    If I happen upon him in the ditch, in need of assistance, I will lend said assistance. By that I mean I will fill his mouth with windshield glass and kick him in his chin.

    Rave: It's been years since I ranted online. It feels good to get that out. And, I believe a solid plan has formed for when this asshole wrecks and I'm nearby.

    Rave: The deck I'm building in my yard is coming along and I'm really happy with how it looks. For those interested it's a double border picture frame design with a dark brown border and lighter orangey brown interior.

    Rave: The railings are being delivered today, and I should have it all finished by the end of this weekend.

    Rant: My soft office bitch hands have taken a beating on this project. Beyond the blisters and small cuts everywhere, I managed to drive a sliver right under my thumbnail. Holy shit did that one ever hurt. I now know why tearing off fingernails is such an effective torture technique.

    Rant: My computer illiterate ass decided to cheap out and figure out how to torrent, so I could pirate photoshop. You only need 1 guess as to who now has virus/malware/fuckery on his computer. God, I'm fucking dumb. I have cleaned up the majority of it, but I know there is shit lurking. Edit: Yep, still can't do a system restore despite booting in safe mode. Sheeeit.

    Rant: I promised my daughter we'd watch Fault in our Stars tonight. I hate chick flicks in general and I feel like a teenybopper version will be even worse.

    Rave: I will ease my suffering with pizza and rum&cokes.

    Rave: because I finally gave her the green light to see Mean Girls, that is what we are watching tonight instead. So the pizza and R&Cs will be celebratory.
