Month: March 2004

Well, they didn’t dig up the walkway, but they were cutting the driveway as we left for work this morning. When we got home for lunch, I had to navigate over a nervously narrow steel plate that was spanning the gap in our driveway.

On the good side, there was also a cement truck by one of the driveways they’d ripped up previously so I’m confident that they will be concreting our driveways. Now I just have to see what happens to the grass..

Oh, and the Hammock is awesome, albeit a bit awkward until I learn how to sit in it. I plan to get a lot of practice in over Spring Break… A beer will get you a free ride on the hammock…

So when we got home for lunch, there was a car parked almost across our driveway and a backhoe parked on our walkway. Now, neither Heather nor I really take the little bushes on either side of our mailbox very seriously, nor the flowerbed areas around them, but this tractor was parked with one wheel in one bed and another in the other. It had completely crushed one bush and was threatening to do the same to the other. It also had to have driven in there (because the damn thing couldn’t have flown) so that means the metal edging that goes around these two mini-beds have most likely been completely crushed.

What I’m more concerned about is that I think this trench they’re digging down the road is going to cut across our driveway as well (it’s crossed at least two already) and I started to wonder… will they actually concrete it back over like it used to be, or will they just throw some asphalt in the trench and call it good like they did to this guy who lives up at the head of our street? Also, are they gonna replant the grass or is that up to me to do. Finally, when they carve this trench through the walkway to my house (which I’m fully expecting to be done when I get home tonight) are they going to fix it or leave it full of tar as well.

Damn, I never even thought about this crap when I decided to buy a house. Maybe it’s time to start thinking about that cobble stone walkway idea again.

Well, here’s Photo Journal #2. Sorry it took so long this time. I don’t know how long I’ll keep this up, probably as long as they’re still fun. This one is a long one as I get more and more into the habit of just snapping photos with my Clié.

I’m setting up a new game for some friends of mine. It’s going to be using the Spycraft system and setting. I’ve started a new web page for it (because that’s what I do, I make goofy web pages that no more than 10 people will ever look at). I just wanted to show it off here and see what other people think of it.

It’s still in progress and missing some vital information, but it’s going well so far, I think.

Don’t worry about what to put in the opening pop-up, you can type anything, it don’t matter.

so I found out a about Hexic today and wanted to download the actual SWF (Flash) file so that I could play it on my Clié, but apparently I’m not smart enough for that. I really thought I was.

I’m going to the bank.

Well, the official photo gallery from OwlCon has been posted, and of the four of us that went, I’m the only one that even came close to being in a photo… Can you guess which one I am?
