Morning off, and what a break so far! Amazing how the mind has a way of forgetting that thick slab of responsibility that weighs down upon you during the work week. Hell, all the days just run together now!
Fantastic gifts and time with the fam, hitting up the regular joints with the guys, a taste of Narey's 19th Hole too. Progress at the lodge and some decent temps to boot. Saturday morning, a pretty decent ice storm came through but I didn't let it interfere with our Cedar Rapids plans. Hit up a 1/2 price tag sale (bust) and stocked up on supplies for the week at Menards, then headed down to the ReStore and a couple carpet outlets for blood red commercial stuff with Cara. Got pretty darn close to the right hue and totally cashed in at the restore. Limped our way home on the icy interstate in time to get ready to meet Ben down at the PL, and a drop-in by Bergman. Shot some semi-decent pool but loused up the final shot on singles and handed the game over to last week's chump by sinking his second to last ball. Sunday, a full day at the lodge. Cara and I drug 150lbs of sand in on a sled, then broke up the frozen slabs over the kero heater on a galvanized garbage can lid while moving this, that and the other around inside. By the end of the day we had the swale leveled, plastic barrier in place, underlayment down and the dining area floor installed complete. Suffice it to say, we were beat come nightfall. This afternoon? A little downstairs drywall and some garage door work.
