So I have been going and going as of late. Just something\u2019s that I have been up to is about 2 weeks ago went to see AC\/DC, this was an awesome show and I am glad I got to see them since I have been listening to them since around 76\u2019. Angus still has it and damn can he still play. Upcoming as in this weekend I have two Metallica shows we will be attending on Friday and Sunday, just glad its a holiday weekend which will make it way better, since I have Monday off to recover from being out late on a Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have had an intention to move my home office\/art studio to the lower level of our house, but each time we have thought we would have time to do so we had something else come up to keep it from happening, but hoping to possibly get part of it if not all of it done this weekend. We will see, it isn\u2019t something that should take all that long but it\u2019s still a process. This has also corresponded with doing a nice spring cleaning, starting in our basement and then finding a bunch of stuff to toss and sell in the rest of the house. This all started with a new bedroom set a couple of months ago, and that prompted all the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then the last thing that has come up recently is our deck apparently has some of its wood rotting from water damage (leading me to believe that the proper wood wasn\u2019t used in its construction) and it sucks because that deck isn\u2019t that old, it was built new with the house about 8 years ago. We have sort of a plan to repair it ourselves but I am not sure if we will be able to pull that off, I have to find some sort of jacks to hold up the deck while we replace the parts that need replacing. That is something we have to figure out when we are going to get it done, but first I have to buy the materials we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course we have more shows to go see later this summer and likely will find some more to go see if anything good comes up. And then with the nice weather coming up and summer I expect to get in more time riding our bikes at different parks and locations around the area, especially since we got my wife a new bike to ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well this is it for now.
