Good morning everyone.
Robin -Glad to hear the first week on the job went well. I'm sure you'll whip those parents who are unaccountable for their lack of responsibility in getting their kids registered, thereby making it your problem, into shape.
RS - Hope your foot heals fast. Sorry you have to use crutches.
Katmouse - I've given up. The lily beetles can have my lillies. The leaves have all of these gross brown sacs everywhere and I'm not going out everyday to pick them anymore, so I hope they enjoy what's left of my lillies!! LOL!
OC - Is your migraine gone?
Shan and Lil0 - How is the air where you're at? I'm sure it is filed with thick smoke from all the fires in B.C., Washington, Oregon. I hope our rain moves in your direction to help all the firefighters from U.S, Mexico and Canada battling these.
I know I am missing others and have been playing a bit of catch up before I start work. I have been reading though.
The weekend was good. I spent 6 hours sanding down our deck on Friday to prep it to paint after we have some boards replaced and maintained. I still have some more sanding to do but will not take as long. After sanding, I went and played drop in beach volleyball for 3 hours. It was such a beautiful night.
Saturday morning, we got up at 7am and decided to camp for one night so we hooked up the tent trailer (pop up trailer for my American friends) and parked our butts. We didn't do much of anything except read, cook over the fire and relaxed.
I have a bit of a busy week at work in addition to my uncle and his wife coming from Australia for a visit this week. Then on Saturday we along with 8 other friends are doing the 5km (3.11 miles) Rugged Maniac Obstacle Course. A buddy of mine recently did it in Vancouver and sent me this link. He is the guy in the news story talking about it, so we are really excited for this fun event. What's nice is you can make it whatever you want and do it at a pace you are comfortable with. Afterwards, there are bands, a beer garden and bbq.

Our weather has been amazing up until yesterday at 4pm when the hail came down so hard it looked like it had snowed. It then turned to a heavy down pour. Today we have rain on and off which I'll take as I won't have to do any watering for a few days. The weekend is looking awesome for rugged maniac. It is supposed to be around 28*C (82.4*F).
I hope you all have a good day.
