3hr nap with my little guy – perfect fathers day
Got my new father’s day BBQ assembled yesterday, the lawn mowed and deck clean. I’m ready for summer!

Found out that Charles Stross’s new book should be hitting store shelves in a couple weeks. In the process of ordering that book, I also discovered that Neal Stephenson has a new one coming out in several months.
ordered the new Neal Stephenson book and Charles Stross book….
So sleepy – late nite page for work
I tried to place the order for the rest of the fence materals and had two completely different (and horrible) experiences.
Lowes – Wouldn’t take my order over the phone, because they all use cordless phones and it isn’t secure. So I asked if the guy could go to a landline phone and he said they didn’t have any. Click….
Home Depot – Got right through to the order desk and then was asked for a SKU. I didn’t know the SKU for there 1x6x6′ cedar fence boards, could you look it up? Nope – I’ll forward you to the floor and have one the people in the department get it for you. So I get routed to someone that was running around the store looking at shelves. He didn’t even know what I was talking about. Click….
I don’t know what to-do now. I’ll probably just stop by Home Depot tomorrow and order it in person, but damn I wish there was another option. I was about to drop $500 on lumber and neither place would take my money.
We had a storm blow though last night. High winds, lots of rain and I guess it dumped quite a bit of snow on the pass. (They got out the snow plows according to the paper) Craziness for June.
We have had pretty solid rain for the last week, some patches of sunny weather, but everything is pretty wet. Its going to be crazy getting the lawn mowed when it finally drys out again.
I’m no closer on getting the fence done, other then I got the un-used concrete returned on Sunday. I need to just order the rest of the materials and stop thinking about it.
I managed to get quite a bit of my lunch on my shirt today. But it was worth it – yummy spicy szechwan noodles…
