Best Beach Vacation of my life

I'm not a big beach fan. Spent too much time on them during my Navy years, I guess. But this past week was really great. The best time I've ever had at the beach in my life. Mainly because I was there with the most beautiful woman in the world, the best mother-in-law a man could ask for, and the most precious boys on the planet. Here are some pictures:

Back in town

Just got home today. We spent the past week, Sunday to Saturday, at the beach. Then last night we went to my wife's 20th High School Reunion. We all had a blast, but now I'm beat down. I'll post some photos later.

Peace.

Raging Slab - Take a Hold

Have you had your daily dose of slab? Well here ya go then...

This song is dedicated to all the mamas out there. Not that they will understand or appreciate it. But hey, if anybody needs some love they do. And this is how I express it.

Peace.

Best Fiction Novel Ever Written

Today I give the long awaited, most coveted award in all the known blogosphere. Yes, that's right, the pinnacle of awards, the apex of achievement, the peak, the summit, the inverted nadir! The first ever, Crotalus's Best Fiction Novel Ever Written Award!

And the award goes to...

(drum roll)....

....

This book!

Now do yourself a favor. Pick it up at the library, or, better yet, buy your own copy and read it.

Peace.

Secrets exposed!

We've got some secrets around here. But being the seeker of truth that I am, I finally managed to get to the bottom of a few of them. Look if you dare...and watch as long buried secrets are finally revealed.



Peace.

Finished! (sort of)

Despite all the rain, I finished the tree house. There are a few things I still want to do, but those are merely cosmetic. Structurally speaking, it is finally done.


The front porch, with tree that extends through the deck.


Other corner.


View from the inside. Yeah I know, a carpenter I aint.



From the side.


Don't look now, but that corner post is trying to pretend it's a tree.



The sandbox is underneath. And out of the scene there is a swing set to the left, a trampoline to the right. You reckon we got kids around here?

Okay, that's it. No more big projects this summer. Maybe I'll get started on closing in the back deck later in the year. We'll just have to see. Right now I'm going to bed.

Peace.
