now THATS a fire...

Remember that pine tree that I cut down? Well, in making space for the extended lawn project-to be covered later-some of the wood, which was amazingly dry having been dead for so long, was burned out to make room...

Not healthy, but...

More grilling to be had of late...the whole daylight savings change here in Indiana plays pretty well at the Dome in the summer...

Splitters

The current thinking is that splitters are the secret to an effective watering system and complex of hoses.

Mini-shower project

Was looking to add some storage to the shower, since the thing i had holding stuff before was a little on the infuriating side...got lucky at Lowes and talked into a five-dollar purchase of this shelving (which was backed up by twice that in silicone caulk and new caulk gun to apply it...). But it seems to be sticking there...so far...

Free wheels

Usually when you get something for free, there tends to be somethng amiss...but not looking a gift horse, etc...did a little re-furb to get this puppy up and running....

Neighbor relations

New addition to the 'dome...you can't see the super-muting towels used to keep the phone from ringing or the cops from showing up...

First snow!!

Well, it came earlier than it did last year, and I was even here for it this time around. Naturally, everyone freaked out about it and there were a lot of problems in the morning commute, etc. (http://www2.indystar.com/articles/8/253672-9618-127.html). Took Rusty out later in the day to keep the Red Race Car out of the salt, since he's pretty much done in that category.

OCD much?

Not really a clean freak or anything...but the multiple color-coded stacks of tee-shirts and the parcing out of the cut down tree into different sizes might speak to something about trying to organize things a bit...

How cold/hot?

Thanks to Sean for this indoor/outdoor thermometer...it has some magical remote control for the outside temp...

Timber!!

The dead tree in the backyard was finally felled. I was glad that the thing came down where it was supposed to, what with all the wires in the back yard...

Now just add mulch...

For the final touch, some landcaping covering and some mulch to top it off...
