I actually have the entire weekend off due to some temporary schedule shifting. I am literally at a loss as to what to do with that much free time with the wife...besides the obvious of course.

The VA is taking in my surviving brother Christopher. They'll be taking care of him for so long as he needs it. I just heard yesterday but it took a bit to sink in since it took so long to get my brother Matthew's body returned to us we were using caution before making plans. There was some issue but someone from the Corps stepped in and settled it. So now both my brothers are finally home, its a good feeling really. I hadn't seen Chris in almost five years.

Its a good day.

Thank you, it will be nice to have him home rather then away for the end.

We're going to a NHRA event in September so that should be good.

looks like we got the message from divine whatevers that the pond has got to go. We've been thinking about it for ages, since our koi pond is absolutely huge and its a huge drain on money to keep it running (it was established before we bought the house). I mean, this pond's filtration system is the length and width of my bed, fed by undeground water tubes that feed directly into the waterboard's drainage system.

Well the pipework that feeds water through the shed toward the pump crumpled and breached last night. Took the two UV ray filters, and the pump down with it and slowly more breaches in the pipework have been found. Theres an ever so tiny split in the pipework leading underground, and the pond itself is showing signs of leaking as well. looks like its time to get rid of those fish! What with nearly 25 koi 3 goldfish and a grass to get rid of...

What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Well, I FINALLY got on the latest coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure, Bizarro. Not especially tall or steep, but very loopy and twisty. Plus, the open seat design mixed well with the effects - pyrotechnics, mist sprays, and speakers at every seat for sound FX.

I haven't been to Great Adventure in about ten years now. Sad thing is that when I go home, I live maybe five or six miles away from it. I think it's exit 16A or Six Flags, where I take exit 16B. Or the other way around.
