Bathroom project

I've had an interesting week. I spent pretty much all of last week tile the tub surround upstairs. It is almost finished. I stopped at the wall with the fixtures on it due to time and lack of mortar. I got a little help from my friend Don Ross. Actually, it was a lot of help. He supplied pretty much all the tools and guidance. We actually traded a little work because I helped install a couple of doors that he made in return. I'll gladly give him some free advertising for the AZ area; check out http://www.steelartdesign.com/. Anwway, it's been some fun work. It will be nice to relax in the tub for the first time in a few months. The renovation started out just trying to fix some bad caulking and get rid of some mold! I guess I get carried away sometimes. This is what it looks like prior to grouting: http://www.johnbridge.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=52105

More than meets the eye!

CANDI AND I WATCHED TRANSFORMERS TODAY! THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!!! I'm cheesin' just thinking about it. Michael Bay, Roberto Orci, and Alex Kurtzman - way to go! Unreal! Very funny - I've been told Shia LaBeouf has been signed for the sequal. Awesome. I'm really pumped to have my son in to them. His birthday present and Christmas present shouldn't be hard this year! Anyway, it was one of the best movies I've ever seen. I know lots of people are saying that but from a critics standpoint it didn't lack anything. I suppose you can't put in the category with Shawshanke Redemption or Dumb and Dumber, but compared to any action movie... just my opinion. It had it all: plot, acting, action, special effects, the list goes on and on. Enjoy!

New Bike

I got a new motorcycle (mo-mo as my Wyatt calls it)! It's a black '04 Yamaha V-Star Custom 650. It rides great, is very comfortable and sounds cool. I'm comparing to my '97 dual-sport, of course. I'll put some pictures up when I get some. I went up to Pheonix with another controller and picked it up. It was hot that day but the ride home at 10pm was very, very nice. It rode really well at 75-80 mph. It felt like it was the rpms were a little high but there was plenty of throttle left. Only thing I don't like about it is that there is no tack. I suppose that's because I've had a tack on the only other bike I've owned. It's definately a nice blessing. Candi and I have been out once on it - had a blast! I can't wait to get up Mt. Lemon on it. Now I just have to finish the repairs on the Suzuki and get that sold!

Candi's certified!

Candi finished her personal training certification through the YMCA this weekend! It is so exciting to see her get to where she's wanted to be for a long time now. She has sacrificed (and enjoyed completely) a lot being a full time mom. She's wanted to be a P.T. for years but put it behind the children the whole time. I'm just happy to see her happy. She actually isn't using it yet because the Y can't hire her now but she helping people every chance she gets. We're so proud of her!
