Fishing trip

I am going to take another fishing trip this weekend. I decided to take my nephews out fishing as they will be staying the weekend at our house. My sister and brother in law needed a weekend alone and asked if we could keep the kids. We were over joyed to be able to spend time with them and realized that we should have done this a while ago, or been doing it from time to time. We only see them when we have family get together’s and that is not nearly enough. I can’t wait to go, even my wife is coming with a picnic basket full of goodies to eat while we are gone.

Kitchen bar

When we decided to remodel the kitchen we wanted to open it up as it was a closed in kitchen. After extensive remodeling, we have accomplished that and now have a bar that opens into the living room dining room area.  We are now going to purchase bar stools for it as well. I haven’t decided yet if I want padded ones nor not. We are still debating that. I am happy that we can finally buy them though.

We also have a bar outside, that is an actual liquor bar for parties and BBQ’s. The bar stools we have out there are old and need replacing as well, but we don’t want the same ones as what we get for inside the house. We want the ones for the patio bar to match the out door furniture. That might be a bit difficult, but not impossible. Either way, I am sure we will be happy with whatever we decide to buy.

New membership

I decided to get a new membership to a gym. It has been a long time since I have worked out and I actually miss it a lot. I have gotten out of shape lately, even though I work a lot and tend to do enough manual labor at home to keep me semi fit. I am not happy with that though and intend to fix it. I got a family membership in case my wife wants to go as well. Not that she needs it, she is as trim as can be, but you never know. She might like to go with me. We shall see.

Hot tub

With all the time I have had on my hands lately, I have been able to get a lot of things done around the house. One of them was to fix the hot tub. It has been broken for months and I couldn’t figure out what the problem was until today. Now that it is fixed I have to buy a few supplies for it. I need to get a few hot tub filters first, because that was one of the problems. The filter had come apart and the pieces clogged up the lines.

I also need some hot tub chemicals as well. I threw the old stuff away because I wasn’t sure I could even fix it after it broke.  That is okay since it is now fixed and when the wife comes home she is going to be ecstatic about it. The hot tub is one of her favorite features of this house. Now I don’t have to worry about her wanting to move. I hate moving.

This is where I want to be

Tahiti, Bora Bora

I want to be here on vacation so bad I can’t stand it. I am way past due for a good vacation and I already checked the prices on flights and packages. I am going to surprise the wife with a dream trip to the South Pacific. She has always wanted to go there and got me interested in it too. I found this picture online and just couldn’t resist any longer. I am going to do it.
