Long version:

House: Sure, I promised I’d have more projet and techie stories on here. And I will. Especially since I’ve bought a house.  The to-do list on the house is long and includes floors upstairs, can lighting to replace the ‘boob’ fixtures (thanks to my brotherinlaw and sister for that term) some paint and love in places, windows at some point and an office fit for an at home worker.  I’ll share some projects and photos as I install the hot tub and monkey inside and out.

Cars: Right now the 2000 Corvette is getting the heads torn off to see what is causing the knock (I’m hoping lifter!) and of course a few months ago I sold the 1998 corvette. I bought 2006 mini cooper S to track and drive daily, with the yukon getting a respectable 13mpg average for the trip to texas and back pulling the corvette.

Family: Luci is still alive and annoying. Jenn and Justin are enjoying their new home and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Grayson Michael Whitcomb later this month!  Ashley and Adam are making things official with a wedding in June of this year, and then moving into on campus housing at USF while Ash finishes her undergrad degree.  Mom is still plugging away at nursing program and is excited to be a grandma finally! Dad/Chel/& the Crew are doing fine and putting in the last few days of school at Chester for the year.  Gma and Gpa Wiens are safely home form Texas and planning on a restful summer with trips to CA, WA, and HI. Gma Red is living in the black hills for now, but may be moving back east, possibly my back yard. Gpa Verl and Opel are doing fine and planning several trips this summer with the RV and the boat.

Lake: is open! We put the water on and bug bombed successfully. We’ve got a couple leaky valves and a running toilet, but otherwise it’s all good in the neighborhood!

I tried new litter, for “small spaces” that has a better odor blocking ability (Luci’s #2′s occasionally rival mine in smell factor) and upon dumping it in Luci went strait for it. That’s normal behavior if you don’t have a cat: clean the box and the first thing they’ll do is use it. This time though she jumped in and started sneezing! Turns out the ‘scent blocking’ bits were really just smelly bits. I was nearly dying laughing. Luckily the smell wore off and Luci’s back to normal.

Today is a blitz of cleaning and working as I need to get the propswap beta site moved to the new server and some progress done on it. In the middle I’m doing laundry and cleaning the house up after 2 weeks of non stop going and no cleaning. The prop swap should get a full sign up system by the end of today and the ability to add properties to an account. Tomorrow I hope to have the basic searches done as well as the mortgage calculator. Also hoping to get to watch the Vikings loose with Dan-o Later!!
