Catching up

Alright, I know it's been a while since I have posted, but life does that, you know. It's Saturday night, I'm sitting here, just finishing up my blog-reading for the day and decided to post here.

To catch up - my visit with my brothers went well, even if I did have to leave a day or so earlier than the other two had to. I had my oldest brother, the one next up from me, and one of the two sets of twins with me at the house of one of the twins. We just sat around and BSed, ate, BSed more, went shopping, BSed, ate, and BSed more. Even went out to the garage where I saw my very first race car (stock, I think) in person and experienced the ear-destroying volume they can produce. I even got to watch one of my brothers attempt to screw in a bolt for a water pump and then watch him take it back out when it broke.

I do have to say that the drive was the absolutely most boring one I have EVER had the joy of experiencing. Miles and miles and miles of absolutely nothing but scrub and a few elk here and there. Having to stop every hour or so to keep from falling asleep at the wheel was fun, too.

Other than that, the days have just been going by, one at a time.

Today was somewhat interesting as the entire family piled into the car and went to my mother-in-laws house to visit and do some cleaning and such. We picked up some wood, metal fencing and a sheet of metal to work on her future goose house. Then, the joy of going through her basement and picking out things that needed to be thrown away and picking out those things that were just too cool to be thrown away and just had to make their way back to our house.

Tomorrow, I get to watch the kids while my wife and my (adopted) sister go back to my mother-in-laws house to do some more cleaning and visiting and such.

I'm just tired, hurting, and dirty.

I think I am off to the shower. What about you?
