Side Note: I meant to post this on Monday or Tuesday but the work and family schedule has been busy this week so here it is.  [my little disclaimer]

This weekend we decided to do some project work around the house since we actually didn’t have any major plans on Saturday.  Over the course of the last year, storm winds and erosion have pushed our back fence the other way and it had a major lean.  I talked with a good neighbor that we have and we looked at it and figured out we both could just do the work and save tons of money hiring someone to come out and do it.  So we decided that we would tear it down and clean out the post holes and then re-cement the holes and put the fence back up.

Hammer Problems

We started about 6:45am when it was getting light out and finished up about 11:30am.  It was so hot out.  Between the 2 of us we took down about 18 bottles of water.  Have to keep hydrated you know!

Saturday afternoon I had a soccer practice to attend to for about 1.5 hours and then after that Lou, our friend in our community group had invited some people over for some dinner feasting and then to finish up the night watching the UFC fights [#87].  That was a lot of fun, hanging out with friends and meeting new ones.  I had never watched an UFC fight before and wasn’t sure I was going to like it, but it was really interesting and fun.  The drawback though I was so tired and exhausted that after the second fight I was starting to fall asleep and we had to call it a night.  Overall it was a nice and exciting party.

Looks like this weekend might have some fun around the corner.

Tonight our friends are taking Leslie out to dinner for her birthday.  That is always a good way to start off the weekend.  It sounds like it will be a good place to eat and hopefully they will cater to my special food needs.

Saturday I have soccer in the morning for a few hours and then some much needed work to be done on the cars and the garage.  Oh yeah and I need to clean and lube the mountain bike chains for both of us so we can start riding again.  Saturday night I don’t think we have much going on.

Sunday after church our friends are having us over for some pool action.  It should be hot enough out for a good long afternoon swim or float.  Wait, I hope my swimsuit still fits me.  lol  We will probably stay over there for quite some time and enjoy the water and some good food.

What are your weekend plans?
