Busy day.

Years ago my wife said that she found some pallets that some company was throwing away.  She wanted us to build a fort for our kids in the backyard.  No sweat, I figure that the pallets are 4x4 so we would have to keep it small but that's not a problem.  Then she tells me that she'll have to borrow a trailer to haul the pallets.  How many pallets is she getting? 

There were three 4x4 pallets and the others were 5x10, 4x8, and I think one was 6x12.  We built the fort (three walls and a roof) and it was sturdy; sturdy enough for my 240 pound self to get on top of it without a problem.  Years later with rain and weather it's leaning but still sturdy.  I'm unscrewing everything I can and it still won't go down the rest of the way.  We finally let gravity help us; we rock it back and forth until it's off the ground enough to use it's own weight to break it apart.

Once that is finished we head over to a restaurant for a little lunch and then shower and change.  Why a shower and change you ask?  Now we're going to a birthday party for a family friend, this kid is turning four so it's at a park and we bring our kids.  Happy birthday X. 

Drop off the kids and we go to a wedding reception, it was a nice reception.  A little smaller, about 50 people.  Pretty cake and good food.  Congratulations K and K, may you have many happy years.
