Pics from February 2003 I

Pics from February 2003 I posted some pics of our weekend projects. We finished the rain barrels, planted a queen palm and built a plant table.

We also hit the county fair on Saturday night. It was quite busier than Tuesday as expected, but we still had fun. I bit the bullet and plopped down 10 bucks to ride the “special attraction” ride. I have to admit it was worth it. 150-200 feet arm with a car on either end that swivels as the the entire arm rotates. Unlike any ride I had done to date. It was a blast but I am glad Ali declined to go on it with me. She would have been terrified and traumatized. 🙂 We watched the high wire act again and were disappointed to find out the amazing Luiz falls down EVERY show and gets back up. Part of the routine. 😉 We split a funnel cake. It seemed like a good idea at the time, afterwards we vowed to never have one again. Sits in your gut like cement.

We were gonna do the beach on Sunday but we both had some mild sunburn going on from working outside Saturday so we decided to pass. Ali had heard that red tide was rolling in again so that was another reason to not go. Red Tide is some sort of reddish algae that kills fish but also emits something into the air. Last year we were at the beach during red tide and EVERYONE including us were constantly sneezing and coughing from the stuff. It was AWFUL.

I had to expel a snake family from our downspout this weekend. I felt bad but hopefully they will relocate somewhere else. Pictures of them are on the link above.

We watched the third Austin Powers movie this weekend. It was good not great. I guess the jokes starts to wear thin by the third movie. The gold member character is the dumbest and least funny of any that Mike Myers has played so far in the series.

This upcoming weekend we are having the long awaited yard sale. I am hoping to move a ton of unwanted stuff to clear up some room and make a few bucks. Crossing my fingers for good weather.
