Now that I've posted the "lost" entry (go back one), I might as well post an update!
I've been on vacation all week, and since I had time on my hands, I started lifting weights again. Been at it two weeks, and am starting to get some actual weight on the bar finally. I have a workout coming up tomorrow after work, which I'm looking forward to. Since cancelling my cable, I've been indulging in one of my favorite "guilty pleasures" - World's Strongest Man competitions! I started back with 1982 World's Strongest Man, and so far have watched everything I could find, including the qualifying heats, all the way through Worlds Strongest Man 2008 Heat 3. It's all impressive, but it doesn't get awe-inspiring until around 2005 or so. Anyway, it's been very motivational, and I've even started planning on making some homemade farmer's walk implements - still need the 4x4 wood though.
Went out & bought a new whole-house water pre-filter, water heater, water softener, reverse osmosis filter, and a bunch of PVC pipe to replace the sink drain pipe in the basement. I got most of that done, but think I'm going to hire a plumber for the water stuff, because if I screw up, I don't want to be without water for days on end! ;-) I got my spare room cleared out too, and I finally built a little homemade "computer desk" in the little alcove in there - attached it right to the wall! I also bought a big 42" flat screen tv (because it was on clearance for $315)! It's now sitting on the desk, and my old 70s chair is in there along with my dvd player and my old 8-track/stereo, which are both in my old tv stand.
I also rearranged my living room (since I'm not planning on having a tv in there for a while), and I like the setup much better. Yes, I still plan on uploading pics sometime... I'm on vacation again the week of Thanksgiving here (Nov. 24th-ish?) so I'll aim for doing it then. Oh! I also cut down an old interior door and fit it with hinges to make a custom attic door, to keep the heat from escaping out through the roof this winter. Got it fitted, so now I need to paint it.
I'm sure there's more to write, but I need to get to bed. I really dislike the 1st day back to work after vacation. Ugh.
Hope yas are all doing well!
