March 28th through 30th, 2011 - 108th through 110 Days

Monday was work in the yard day.  My wife finished spreading the new grass seed, and I was in charge of cleaning out the fountain and replacing the rocks.  Have you ever tried to clean out a fountain that has had water sitting in it for 5 months!  Yuck!  It was green (really green, like Oscar the Grouch green) and it smelled like the sewer had spilled all over me.  After I finally got all the water out, and cleaned out the algae, Logan and I cleaned all the rocks off and, Whalla, it looks great now.   Amber and Nicole also planted new plants, and Logan and Hunter were in charge of pulling up the crab grass.  Crab grass has an appropriate name, that stuff is nasty!  You pull up one clump, and two more take it's place.  Crab grass is the Zombie of the grass world.   After 2 1/2 hours, our yard looked nice, and we had to stop for some well needed Costco pizza.  As you can tell, I spend too much time at Costco.  If Costco and Walmart went out of business, I'd have no where to hang out.  I could always start hanging out at Home Depot, but I hear their pizza isn't the best. 

On Tuesday my father-in-law, Wesley Burr, went all the way to Murray to check out a Lincoln Navigator I had found on Cars.com.  Is that a good father-in-law or what?  It sounds like it may be a good deal, so Kerry and I are going up on Thursday to look at that Lincoln, and one other one I found.   Wes definitely wins the nice guy award for the week.  We then went to Logan and Hunters soccer game.  Hunter's JV team is quite good, and beat Canyon View 4-0.  Logan is the starting goalie on the varsity and they shut down the CV varsity 3-0, so it was a good night.  We then came home and stuffed Amber's wedding invitations for 2 hours.  All-in-all, it was a very productive day.  Work is really going awesome, my brother must be doing something right, because we sure have a lot of people interested in our software programs.   On Wednesday morning, Brian Bowling dropped by two new tubes for my bike.  He gets the other nice guy award for the week.  I have great friends, who are really genuine.  I truly feel like my friends would do anything for me.   Things I learned so far this week, 1st, Stagnant water reeks, really reeks.  And if you're going to eat pizza next to a fountain with stagnant water, bring nose plugs.  2nd, Girls get to plant shrubs and flowers, boys get to clean out stinky fountains and pull crab grass.  Is it just me, or does there seem to be something wrong with this picture!  3rd, If you cut off a zombie's head, it just grows back.  If you cut the head off a piece of crab grass, it just grows back.  Therefore, crab grass = zombie, it's pretty simple.  4th, Costco pizza is better than Home Depot pizza.  5th, I've got the best father-in-law, and greatest friends on the planet--seriously!


The Zombie of the plant world!
