Busy, Busy!

Does anybody else see a farked up Shrek movie clip in the place of the Day By Day cartoon at the top of the page when using Internet Explorer? Its been acting up on me since Sunday. It displays just fine in Firefox but IE7 isn't working for me right now.

Anyway, so what have I been doing since Friday? Not resting much, that's certain! I finally got my secondary, yard watering water turned on after installing a filter in the system where one never had been installed before. That required a bagful of PVC pipe fittings from Home Depot and a few hours Thursday evening and again on Saturday. I think I counted 24 glue joints on the entire project and just one of them drips- a tiny bit. There's no fixing it though without cutting up everything so I think I'm living with it.

I did get the system flushed out and running and one bad popup replaced out at the curb on the line that hasn't worked well for a few years now. Now that I've figured out how to dig out down to the saddle clamp I'll probably be able to get the rest of that line working sometime in the next few days.

Friday night the spouse and I went to see Shrek III, on opening night, at the mall, to a only 1/2 full theater... I don't know why the theater was only 1/2 full but it was and it made the show pretty pleasant. The movie's fun- hell, its Shrek! Its simple and fun and has several new characters that didn't appear in the first two episodes, (who was that fairy tale drag queen?) so the jokes that carry over are spread pretty thin. Donkey's a Daddy now, Puss In Boots still loves the ladies and Shrek still gets fixated on poop. So its mindless fun, the graphics are remarkable and Eddie Murphy as Donkey seems to have found his perfect place in life- in the cartoons! Its harmless and worth the popcorn costs, go see it!

Sunday I took myself and a couple rifles to the desert and tried out my latest, the H&R 223 that I traded for and then installed a dandy Bushnell 6X24 scope on top of. I didn't chase any jackrabbits, I just set up my target stand and my shooting table and spent a couple hours trying to make holes in paper, really close together. Here's a hint- I need lots more practice!

Brother Tim & Rhonda will be here one week from tonight and I'll be figuring out how to spend some time with them in between their running about the state sightseeing. And I suppose some extra housecleaning to get accomplished before they arrive!

Anyway, that's been my weekend. I'm pretty certain I'm forgetting something because I was mighty worn out when everything was all done!
