Title: got the place to myself this fine saturday
Post by: sparky on August 25, 2013, 01:09:42 PM
heh, heh.  I love it when the house is empty.  no wife or kids telling me what to do or better yet nobody telling me what I should be doing.  sons working and then out w/ friends for the last two nights.  wife and daughter at the cabin.  I love it.  its so quiet.  baseball, preseason football and a frig full of FT.  no need for anymore talking.  food time.

umbrellas up.
