Where's My Gun Rack?
Well, we've moved ahead on several fronts and now we're looking at starting the moving process this coming weekend. To that end I bought a beater truck yesterday (and because we seem to be having some pretty torrential rain days and that makes for a pain in the ass getting to work).

Some good news? We get to populate the house with nice shiny new appliances and not really have to pay for them. I can't explain it but its a cool deal and I'm excited for our own washer and dryer and a nice dishwasher.

And we've been having good fun with the Macy's gift cards, yesterday we got two packs of cool smelly candles for like $8 or something and that was damned cool. I'm heading back today to try and land some pants that don't have a bulge in front. And I'm buying some truck accessories as well as arranging a time to pick up the lumber rack and camper shell too, the truck was a bargain even if it is ugly but that's alright by me, its got a very, very cool dash toy that Kat would probably kill me for if she knew I had it.

Maybe I'll have to shoot a short video and post it.

Last night, we had a surprise birthday party for a very good friend at Paul's new house, which is very nicely decorated and looks great with the purple walls and red kitchen. I just wish it hadn't been so freakin' cold last night! There was frost on everything on our way home! And the words that keep repeating themselves in my ear magically? Double pane windows. Double pane windows. Because the new house has double pane windows and they really do make all the difference in the world.

And my feelings aren't to hurt by people thinking I'm a geek because of my James Bond style Raytek MT4 infrared thermometer with laser sight. Its half toy and half tool and all fun to play with. They just don't know what they are missing.

Oh yeah, I gave my first homemade pint of ice cream away last night as a birthday present with some super good root beer so my pal can make gourmet root beer floats. I've got to expand my ice cream horizons soon and will likely venture into strawberry land soon.
