Current Joys

[BH]

Kerrie and I pretty much have all of the major stuff needed for our new place (That we don't have yet), soon though! We're looking to move by January. I can't wait to wake up on saturday mornings and throw a record on and cook a sweet breakfast for us and just relax.

Did I miss your Current Joys post about you guys getting back together?   If so, glad to hear it! :)

No, I didn't post one.  ;D But yes, we are back together.

Oh yeah, they are called An Albatross from grand ol' Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Their music probably wouldn't go over that well here, they are insane.  

;D

Anytime you see a frontman work the crowd like that, you gotta give props! That's pretty sweet Ghosts!

He is quite the frontman. I don't know him that well, I know him but I wouldn't say we're friends. I used to work with him when I was 16 doing surveys over the phone  ;D. I'm friends with the guitar player.
Anywho, this picture is awesome.

I'm moving out of Nashville in 5 days and will get to spend 3 weeks with friends and family in Michigan.  I'm in love with a girl I've known for half my life and I couldn't be happier with how everything is coming together.  I'm moving to Denver in about a month to be with her and get a fresh start in life.  It's been a really rough year but things are looking up and it's great to be ending a lousy year on a good note.

I miss the internet and I miss being a regular on the forum.  Hopefully that can resume at some point in the near future.

I have a growler of Yazoo Pale Ale and it's treating me quite well this evening.

Carrie and I are looking for an apartment to move into by January as well... I have the same thoughts about Saturday mornings... I cannot friggin' wait!

I am officially finished with a refinishing project I've been working on. I LOVE finding ould, strange pieces and making them good again. This is a dresser that we found in my wife's G-ma's attic. Seriously, you cannot find wood like this anywhere. Kept the color as natural as possible. I did have to use a very light stain to even out the coloring as it was bleached in a few spots. Tung Oil finish. Link shoud work, even for those not on Facebook. I might snag photos of some of the other pieces I've done the last few years.

Very cool, mjk!  How did you learn how to refinish things?  I'd like to try refinishing some of my dumpster finds, but have no idea where to start...so they just sit in my storage space.

Watching way to many episodes of This Old House and New Yankee Workshop! I cannot build anything new to save my life however. I just experimented with things till I found what worked. A good stripper is hard to come by.....as you want to avoid sanding when possible.

Or just know peeps who know how to do it and are easily bribed with beer.

My home laptop died last week and I had to endure a long weekend with no computer!  I thought I was going to have to replace it, but alas, I took it in to work and my IT guys were able to resurrect it!  Tragedy narrowly averted!

I'm happy for the opposite reason... the start of summer! It is sunny and warm here, and it also feels like Christmas! I mean, our kind of Christmas with pool parties and barbeques.  :)

but, whatever. RTR!

;D I've definitely played drinking games back in the day on Monday Night Football where you had to drink every time John Madden said Brett Favre during Packers games.  That was too many shots by halftime! ;D

You don't like Verne Lunquist?

Got a very colorful and creative hand made Christmas card from my old buddy cola... :)
