Saturday was a good day
It's almost 2100, and Sam and I are watching King Kong on TNT. Must be a director's cut, because there are some scenes that we've never seen before. Nice to watch a movie that you've seen, and to be surprised because of the new adds.
Today was a rampage, but a good one regardless. This is the stuff you do as a parent and homeowner that make Saturdays productive.
Kyle had a championship swim meet this morning/afternoon. He finished second in his heat for 50m backstroke, and first in his heat for 50m crawl. We were very proud of him. The meet was HOT -- lots of people under tents in a field next to the pool, and not enough wind. Everyone is sunburned.
After we got home, I got a hankerin' to drop a couple of trees on the property that were dead and were potential fallers. Had to sharpen the chain saw blade, and got to cuttin'. Always good when nobody gets hurt. Then, I pruned some suckers that were coming up on the holly trees, and watered some bushes that were droopy.
After that, I was filthy, and thought, "An outdoor shower would be killer." So, I made one. $15 in parts and the use of some old wood I had laying around, and I'm showerin' outside like it's cool. I've been needing this for a long time. We get out of the kayaks, and you ALWAYS need a shower. I'll make it a more permanent structure next, with a little more privacy.
After getting cleaned up, I made Sam and me some dinner, started some wash, and turned on the movie.
Oh, Michelle, Savannah, and Kyle went to Busch Gardens to see Rick Springfield in concert. I had no problem NOT making that one . . .
All in all, a great day, because lots of good things happened. I'd settle for above average, so good is great!
