OBX 2009 - We're Reserved!

So we're a little later than normal and I'm still awaiting the agreement contract, but OBX 2009 is locked in. We'll be in northern Whalehead (up above Barracuda St for those that know the area), it will be out 5th year wedding anniversary (wow did that go fast), and I'm open to ideas for this year's prank (although I actually enjoyed bleaching my hair last year) what this year's bracelet will say, how many cases of beer to bring and how many pounds of candy to pack. I thought I'd post up a little teaser photo of what our house's walkway looks like.....I can't wait!

Greenhouse Progress...We Have the Heat

It's been a while since we checked in with some greenhouse progress. Ironically enough, we've done nothing but greenhouse work all summer as far as house-work is concerned. As you can see we've added some shelves and moved some test plants out, and the big progress is heat. We've added a 35K BTU propane heater and a 5K electric heater. We've spent weeks building the mounting rack, and working out the propane line...and now we're ready for the cold season. Only propane prices and our budget will dictate how long we keep the greenhouse active this winter. I'll post a few pictures later. Right now we're trying to balance 100+ degree days and 45-degree nights...so no propane heat yet and auto-venting still on. Cooling during the day and heating during the night....quite a challenge.

Wife Caught Cheating with the Bex!

I'm sad to report that the paparazzi apparently captured a picture of my wife cavorting with David Beckham on the beach in North Carolina. I'm even more sad to report that she proudly posed with the Bex in front of our Wedding House on the very sand where we were married 4-years ago this Sat!

Back from OBX

It's always a tough transition to go from a week filled with eating and drinking in excess, to cold hard normality. Fortunately we have an 8-hour drive to help smooth out the shift. Yes we're home again with nothing but a suntan and some left over candy to show for our week in paradise. It was a very (add a few additional 'verys' here) good week...and it went all too fast. Despite grabbing vacation by the horns on Saturday and Sunday, the week slipped by un-noticed and our yearly journey to heaven is over until Aug 2009. Thanks to everyone for the sunsets, beers, hot-tubs, puzzles, music, candy, conversations, sandy-toes, salty-swims, unadulterated sun, wide white beaches, and pure blue skies....Cheers OBX 2008.

Summer @ the Lake and the Greenhouse Tour

It's been incredible weather at the lake, day after day in the 90's and blue skies. I thought I'd do a quick movie to show everyone not only the summer at the lake, but also what we've been doing all summer....building a greenhouse.

Meow and meow on a hot summer meow...

It's been hot. So imagine if you will wearing a fur coat year round on a 100-degree day. So what do my kitties do......?

Back from the Left Coast...Gas Prices

I thought I'd add one last parting shot from our trip to San Diego. Just when you thought PA gas prices at $4 per gallon are awful...check out the photo.

Greenhouse Progress...The Glass is IN!

Here's another quick video of the greenhouse. We have most (not all) of the glass in now. It's probably hard to see in the video, but it has been a lot of work. It may look odd with the blue painters tape on the glass, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to walk into the glass after a week of getting used to just walking through the wall openings...
