Raw potato
Category: food
On the way to Pittsburgh, we stopped at Wendy's for lunch. I don't rememeber the last time I ate there but it was over 6 years ago because I liked their chicken nuggets.

I ordered a baked potato. It was hot but completely uncooked. The nacho cheese sauce was something at least.

Garage windows
Category: house
To go along with the new garage roof, (e:paul) and I finally replaced the broken glass window.

He got real into it - we ended up jigsawing a craft store stick in half to use as window trim. It looks good, and I finally feel like we can keep stuff in there.

Emily's birthday at Hardware
Category: birthday

We went to Hardware for Emily's birthday. Carrie and I tried to get them to play Taylor Swift but failed. Still danced our tailes off though.

We got to eat with our new bike friends (e:terry) and I made the week before.

Phone books
Category: old
We got a phone book on the porch today. It still boggles my mind that they feel the need to publish them or even could make a profit on it. My parents don't even use one anymore. Shouldn't it be an opt in program?

Gutters on the garage
Category: house
Despite the new roof on the garage, water was still coming in through the base of the garage. I think it's because the yard is all sloped towards the back of it, where the water runs off.

So (e:paul) and I went to the hardware store got an aluminum gutter, and installed it, all in a few hours. The hardware store was the worst part of it. We ran the hose on top of the garage for a bit and it worked perfectly.

Right now all we have to do is get a water barrel, since there's no good spot to drain in the backyard. I think we can get one from Riverkeeper.
