Pffff. Those robots must be built in a North Korea. A real robot can do anything it is programmed to do

Next you'll say robots can't vacuum either.


By the way, sidewalk blocks are the worst thing you can do for landscaping. So friggin ugly

You kidding me, riceboi...?

Aeroplan (Taco can attest) has awful flight rewards. And I still need to end up paying a butt-load afterwards. I have figured using the points for merchandise is the best way to go.



Get better soon! Get your ma to visit and make you some of those herbal-Chinee-magic-gross-tasting-magic brews!

I can't attest to the specific program because I'm not well versed in it but maybe you're right. Traditionally it's never the best redemption value though. You're a smart guy though, I'm sure you did your research

Exactly. They're actually calling for a half inch of snow here Friday night.

Jamaica nice! Negril? White House? Montego? Did he sell his TL?

Spacers should be here today.

Is anyone else confused by the outrage happening from the "panama papers"?

I mean, isn't this what rich people do everyday to stay rich, or get richer? I'm confused.

The deck will be two sections- the back of our house is kind of weird, in that our master bedroom sticks out 9 feet further than the living room, so we don't have a flat, even wall along the back to build the deck.

The first section is 15x16 feet. The other section is 12x10 feet.

Actually, here's an autocad rendering of my backyard... obviously not done... but just doing some modelling to get an idea of how much room we'll have with everything.

besides for the trees along the left corner, for privacy, and a shed at the other corner, we still don't know what we will be doing with the rest. It'll be a lot easier to figure out when we're back there and can see everything coming together.

That drawing i posted isn't correct. The deck will stick out another 2 feet, for both sections. I initially designed it to stick out 8 feet and 14 feet from the house, but after laying it out yesterday, we determined it should be a bit bigger. I can't buy 14 foot long boards anyway, so my plan was to buy 16 footers and cut them down. but after seeing it laid out (spray paint on the dirt ) we figured to just maximize the 16 footers, and bump the 8s to 10s, on the other side. I still have to redraw it though.

Awhh thanks J. Love you too buddy.

New website goes live at the end of the month. I've got some major hardware changes to make and then I'm kinda done. This place is going under and I need to start planning my escape.

Does it sound bad that mowing lawns for a living sounds appealing? Lol
