Vegas Shows

I just realized all my posts lately are about yard work, how boring right? Well I do spend most of my week working, but I get tons of show tickets from work, so I get the chance to see many of the best Vegas shows for free, lucky I know... Just promise not to tell my dates that I'm cheap and got the tickets for free....

New Backyard plant you CAN eat!!!

I felt bad not having any edible plants in the yard, so I planted an Orange Tree.... Don't get your hopes up though, I'll probably end up killing it so there won't be any fresh off the tree oranges to eat next time you visit. Well cross your fingers...

Warning!!!! Highly Toxic Backyard

Yes those are Oleander plants struggling to survive, very poisonous, so next time you're at the house, please don't eat any of the leaves. It wasn't my idea to plant them, I was just following "orders".
These plants however are bottlebrushes, and you can feel free to eat them.
The fake grass can be eaten as well, there are 3 varieties as you can see, lots of choices... but when you're on a tight landscaping budget, you have to either steal stuff, or buy remnants of fake grass and put them together like a giant jigsaw puzzle, and not fun work either, so I don't recommend it...

Spring in NW Vegas...

Just thought these flowers thingies in the front yard looked kinda interesting... enjoy

I'm MAD at Big 5 Sports

It seems like I can't even read the sunday paper and look through the ads without having to go buy a watch at Big 5 almost every week!!! grrrrrrr!!!!! its getting to be a little silly... but I really liked it, and with the glass on the back you can see the inner workings and I couldn't resist. Sapphire crystal, 22 jewel movement, swiss made, Lucien Piccard, automatic, with all those features you would expect to pay $62?, $63? maybe you'd even pay $64? you'd be overpaying, since I got it for only $60, that's right. and its automatic, no battery needed, I figure it will pay for itself in battery savings in just 150 or 160 years, after that it starts to pay ME back... i'm a financial genius.

Take that Bob Villa...

Dang this recession, I can't afford to buy storage, even if its particle board stuff, so I had to go out and build a big chest for my clothes, very sturdy, solid wood, probably weighs 250 lbs. I messed up and put the handle too low, look for an update when I move the handle up higher.

Snowboarding Trip

Went snowboarding the last few days, so my legs are like bruised jello... not even name brand jello, the cheap imitation knock off stuff.... ouch.... Thanks again Ben and Amy for letting me crash in the basement... it was a fun trip even though Ben kinda showed me up on the slopes, but before you feel too bad for me, ask him how the basketball competition turned out....
