The KV0MA, I can only be good. Oh yeah, this weekend was busy. I know the weather's gotten a lot cooler so it's easier for me to work outside. And the last couple weekends I've been just going to town trying to get everything ready for winter. So this weekend was, I did an experiment last week about, I told you I had some practice in my driveways. And I have a very large, long driveway. And the back is just, it's big. Roughly 40, 45 feet width and length just on the back of the house. So anyways, I experimented with a couple of cracks. It didn't turn out too good. I figured out what I did wrong. So this weekend I did about 90% of the cracks I wanted to repair. Which is tedious because you've got to basically take the mortar and just kind of pour it down into the crack. And make sure it gets in there, clean out the cracks first and all that kind of stuff. And then power wash them and then let them dry and then put this mortar in. And you get it at level. And then you use a roller and roll it out to make sure it's kind of smooth. And then after that you water it because you water it real lightly. I used too much water last time. And these cracks turned out pretty good. We actually worked out these at this time. So I did that and then saw my wife had these little plants and little cactus. And she got some from a friend. And over time they'd just been sitting in our backyard and these fire pods, right? And they'd just grow and grow and they'd multiply. They're like chicken rabbits. And so now we had something like 12 pods just filled with them. You know, my wife was, you know, what am I going to do with all these things? She didn't want to get rid of them. She wanted to keep them. So there was a section of the house, like an L section of the house, where it was kind of a downhill slope. And so what I did was I built a retaining wall there and then leveled out the dirt and filled up some more. And it all turned. And then yesterday we spent like three hours just planting these damn things. So now we've got kind of like a five by five area there right against the house. These things can even grow more and multiply more and we'll even have more. So that was fun. So I'm back to work where I can relax, take it easy. And that's what I'm going to do for the week. I'm not going to work three days this week. I'm taking my wife to the hospital on early, early Friday morning. She has to have some surgery done and then we'll find out what goes on from there. Hopefully the mass will be benign and we'll get on with life. So that's really what I'm going to do. I'm going to take the day off and then I'm going to watch over the weekend, make sure she's OK. Probably back to work on Monday morning early. And that's my story and I'm sticking to Katie's real me up.
