Just a quick photo update of the cabinet. This is after 2 coats of primer. Looking pretty good but, I noticed a few spots that I'm going to fix before I proceed any further.

First of all, let's lay my dirty laundry  right out where everyone can see it. I have a Kool-aid problem. It's almost as bad as my Strawberry Quik addiction but, I don't think anything will ever beat that. Anyway, I haven't touched Kool-aid since...2001. My wife bought some sugar free crap and when I drank it the shit made me sick. So naturally every time I smelled the horrible stuff it turned my stomach. Well recently my daughter grabbed some while my wife was taking her shopping. First of all, God bless my little girl. Second, damnit.

I want to keep it short tonight because I think I'm going to go play some Gears, Borderlands or Just Cause 2. Haven't decided yet but, something is definitely getting played. Well I have some big news coming hopefully but, I can't share it just yet. Keep those fingers crossed folks!!!!

On another note, I'm putting the first coat of primer on the Altered Beast cabinet this weekend! Sweet.

Well it's been a while since my last entry and I've been pretty busy. June 27th was my daughters 3rd birthday! (pictures to come soon). My wife and I decided to buy her a swing set from Menards. So the day before her birthday my daughter (Mariska) went to grandma's house while I built her a swing set from scratch. And help Jamie (my wife) setup her garage sale. All during the hottest day of the year that we've had so far. I worked on the swing set from 8a.m.-5p.m. The night before we had stayed up until midnight getting all the garage sale stuff in order and then we were up at 5:30a.m.
