Outside Project

I have been mentioning that we had been working on making a rock pathway in the front of our place.  Here is some before and after pictures (they are posted on our Bio page, under Living Spaces):

We are still working on the other side.  We are trying to wait and see (well, I am, I’m impatient about it…lol) what is growing from the owner, before we add more.  But it hard….we’ve planted some flowers and I would really love to get more and get more color and less mud look.  I’m just not sure what I want other then they be perennials and colorful.  I’m debating between ground cover flowers or bigger ones….I just don’t know yet.

First Hike 2009

The Grand Canyon

And it wasn’t a good one to be honest.

Our first trail had some trash all over that we picked up, we had perfect sunny weather and incredible view of a water fall, but the trash sort of pissed us off so that ruined the moment and then it got really packed with people all at once, so we just left for another trail and same thing, too many people and screaming kids of all things so we just decided to take a drive to The Dalles since that seemed to be such a nice place my first time there at 11:30 PM when I first moved to the area that I must go back in the day time and see what an incredibly…. shithole that it is.

I mean really, they call a city “The Dalles” which is French for “Flowers” and it’s a shithole? I haven’t been this disappointed with what my expectations of a town was vs the harsh reality of what a town is since I first went to the wild west town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico… look it up and you will understand what I mean when I went expecting “wild west” and got….

We stopped at McDs since it was that or a gas station so I could get some caffeine and decided to try their mochas…. wtf?

What The Fuck?

That had to be the worse drink I have ever had in my life, it tasted like 3 cheap synthetic chemicals blended, but you can still taste all 3. I had to brush my teeth when we got home it was that bad.

To add to the fun for some reason my passenger side door has a rattle that is constant as you drive, so I got to call the dealership that I HATE and asked where my part that was ordered 2.5 weeks ago was and I got “I don’t know, you will have to ask them” when “them” was “him” and “him” has been the only “them” I have dealt with for over a year.

So I explained that fact to him nicely… and then laughed at him and hung up.

So now I’m forced to deal with another division of their dealership which is 20 miles away, but managed to get a appoint tomorrow at 10:15 and should be done in 3 hours so the rattling will not kill me as we drive 6 hours to BC.

So no gym for me this week until Friday which bothers me, but at the same time my legs have been issues and tonight it’s my left hip… don’t ask, I don’t know.

We got some good video of the first trail and we got some sun and we got out of the house, but over all this was a poopy day with less than 4 miles of actual hiking and a rattling 3 hour drive with bad mocha.

Dammit MSU….

The Grand Canyon

What a terrible terrible game for the Spartans.
