OMFG SNOW!!!

Holy crap, it snowed today! And over an inch’s worth!

Now of course that may sound like nothing, but consider that I’m about 220 feet above sea level (way low) and not very far north of the 45th parallel (i.e. I’m not in Canada or something like that). Also consider that the last time we had snow that stuck was many, many years ago. Then you’ll realize how rare this is. 😀

Notice: Breaking Up Concrete Is NOT Fun Work

A word to the wise — breaking up a good-sized patio with a jack-hammer and throwing the heavy chunks into a truck and trailer is not fun work. From last Thursday through last Saturday, I hurled literally around 10 tons (20,000 lbs or around 9000 kg) into my uncle’s truck and trailer. We were breaking up his patio so that construction on expansion to his house could get underway.

Surprising though, I barely got sore at all. More tired than anything. I think that was due to him doing all of the jack-hammering (damn thing is really heavy and vibrates a lot obviously) and me just doing a lot of lifting.

Anyway, I made like $60 outta it (yeah, I shoulda done it for free as he’s my uncle, but I have school bills to pay!) and got to hang out with my pretty cool uncle, so it was worth it. 🙂

Mike’s Hard Lemonade

I just had one of these for the first time a few weeks back and oh man are they good! The “Hard Berry” (blackberry) ones are especially tasty.

If you haven’t had one before and they’re available in your area, I definetly say you should go out and buy a 6-pack. They’re about as expensive as beer and about the same amount of alcohol (5.2% by volume).

Oregon State: 41, Portland State: 14

Woo, go Beavs! 😀

Over the weekend, I went down to Corvallis to watch OSU play PSU in the newly renovated Reser Stadium. This was the first game played with the new East addition being completed.

On game day, that was completely full as was the other side that the above camera is mounted on. In total, there were over 42,000 people there. Every seat was sold out. It was a heck of a lot of people in orange. Some pictures from game day soon perhaps. 🙂

I’m Already Growing Tired of My Theme

Yes, that’s right, after just a month of using it, I’m already starting to somewhat grow tired of this theme.

I really wish I had some artisitc skills so that I could make what I consider to be a perfect theme, or at least change this one more to be perfect.

What do you all think of it? What do you think I could do to improve it?
