JC-Protip...just use sand tubes. Think how you will handle moving it (you will at some point) with 300lbs of sand in it.
Had to read this twice to make sure it didn't say what I thought I saw the first time. Glad I did.
Summer of 2012 was the most uncomfortable I can remember. One day the temps dropped for some reason and it felt like a fever had broke. Kinda similar to the last few days actually.
I think the wildlife like fish are all screwed up. Just 3 weeks ago there was still snow in some midwest areas.
Pretty close, just get rid of the cat and add a boot and insulation everywhere.
Sent DH an email with gift ideas for me almost two weeks ago. Last week I texted him reminding him that if he were to order anything/make dinner reservations, he should do so. Note, my Xmas present was tickets to a musical and supposed to include dinner at my fave restaurant. So I had said prior to musical that he should make that reservation. He didn't check til the week before and of course it was booked solid. This happened with both musicals we went to. Yes, I should probably just make my own reservation but dammit, I want him to actually do it if it's supposed to be his gift to me.
So an email + reminder. Tonight I made a comment about packages arriving tomorrow that I didn't know where they were from, thinking it might be a gift for me. He's like oh yeah, speaking of that........then starts asking about what I sent him. I'm like you haven't ordered yet? Well no. My birthday is in three days, that's not going to be here by then. "Well you didn't get me anything until after my birthday either."
RAGE. WRONG ANSWER, BOY. You refused to give me any ideas! It wasn't until after his birthday that he mentioned the comics and I ordered them the next morning. Not two weeks later! I asked multiple times before his birthday if he wanted to do anything or wanted something specific.
It's not like it's the end of the world if it's not here by Friday; I'm just really annoyed. He's like "I've been busy" yeah cause I haven't been?! It's not like it takes a long time to order a specific makeup product or yoga ball I listed. Plus I've said for years that I'd love a surprise party for my 30th, which I knew he would never want to plan. Course I'd planned on being able to drink for it/not be uncomfortably pregnant so that idea got sort of sidelined and he lucked out. So maybe put in the bare minimum effort to spend 5 minutes ordering something your wife sent to you weeks ago?

This sounds like a recurring argument the gf and I have had. Some guys arent great gift givers even with you make it super obvious.
I know part of my problem is whatever I come up with is never good enough IMO so I try to think of better things. Might be the case? Either way, probably not the right move on his part with your hormonal state. I will wait for the Dateline episode to come out.
Well was getting stuff done till I took the rain delay. Try again tomorrow depending on how much rain we end up with.
CG, for what it's worth I'm still owed a Birthday dinner from last yr pretty sure that's never going to happen. However I'm not a ways along pg. Maybe he is having stuff sent to work and will surprise you.
BC haven't been able to post all night getting a 403/404 error.

I am a lucky man.....the vixen is always surprising me at birthday times, and usually does. (Sometimes I see stuff on the credit card bill and can figure it out, which pisses her off no end.) But she threw a dandy party for me on my 60th.....there were plenty of hungover folks the next day.
Just got the updated commodity report, and lumber and plywood are up again - they were already at historically high levels. Owing to the wildfires last year, and tariff arguments with Canada, costs have been rising steadily since last fall. The overall lumber prices are more than twice what they were a year ago.
Until lately, the problem has been supply (no logs because of the fires) - but now the mills are in full production, and we have transportation issues. Trains are scarce, trucks are scrambling to keep up because there simply aren't enough drivers, and the DOT has tightened logging regulations, so drivers can't "cheat" and drive extra hours.
Meanwhile, we here at the retail level are stuck trying to explain this to pissed off builders and contractors, who mostly don't accept our explanations as truth. Not fun at the lumber yard these days.......
