Cruise Control

Sigh..... (exhales heartily)

It's been a long couple of months getting everything done at the Marriott, but I finished everything up yesterday... now I'm just down to my one day a week grass cutting that takes me anywhere from 3 - 7 hours to do, depending on how fast the grass is growing... and one day of weeding / clipping / trimming, etc.  I can finally put all my tools up in their place on the walls and reclaim my garage for parking again.  Such a wonderous time of year for me when the 12 hour days are over.  Even with the three months off, when you factor in my 12 hour days, sometimes 7 days a week... it all works out in the end... especially with bar hours added in too.  Now, I'll probably take on more nights at the bar and just enjoy the summer.  With recently finding out that the bar is closed the first week of August, I've thrown together a reprise of my Philly/Rehoboth trip that week.  A little close to me getting back from out west, it'll be good to see my friends in Philly throughout the week and see my ex, Scott's new place in Rehoboth though.  I haven't been there in ten years... I always liked the town, but it was too gay for me.  Still, it'll be fun.

I'm heading down to gay camp today to build that 12 X 36 deck for my friend Jimmy.  It'll be great to see Scott since I haven't seen him since April-ish.  It should take me two days to do, barring any problems of getting all the wood up the mountain in my truck and not hitting bedrock.  Unlike the deck I built for my friend, Matthew (pictured), this one will be right on the ground, so it should be simple.  That's usually when things aren't... when you think they will be.  I will be back Thursday night or Friday morning, just in time for the bar.  I really like working with my hands... I should have been a carpenter or electrician.  There's always time... I'm due for a complete career change   :)
