My Labor Day Weekend
Have you ever wondered at the irony of Labor Day. It is a day that we get off to do no labor what so ever. (Alright its a holiday...)
So my labor day weekend was themed by a need to leave the confines of Happy Valley (aka Provo/BYU) and go somewhere 'better'. My 7 month basement project at my brothers hadnt had much done to it in a few weeks. Mind that I did put up all the sheetrock before I returned to Provo for school was a big plus in my book. Well, my brother was being dragged to a retreat function thing for the weekend by his wife so, I decided that I could have his house to myself and that I could do a good deal of the sheetrock work of mudding and floating and more mudding. I didnt get far into the project itself. I kept coming up with snags in it. I did accomplish getting everywhere mudded one coat. But the hopes of sanding and getting the second coat on were of no good.
Well then after the first week of school it seemed prime time to relax, but there was homework that had to be done (and some of it had deadlines on Saturday night). Well So after getting tired with the mudding in the basement I would 'relax' by doing homework and other fun stuff like that.
The big bonus for the entire weekend is that I was able to purchase a Deep Fryer for Turkeys and the sort. I have wanted on for a while (and although my mother gave me one my father contends that it is his and refuses to give it to me). I played with the Fryer by frying up a turkey breast with a marinade but it wasnt as good as some of the others I have had. So I am on a search for cheap boneless turkey breast to use as I attempt to perfect the deep frying skills in time for Turkey Day 2005.
Well that is all I can report for my weekend, it was full of labor and work as I finished mudding the last part of the room and hallway I was working on early Monday afternoon. I am still sore and tired.
Well until later
