I took this past Monday as a vacation day so I could work on the deck. It's coming along, I should be able to (finally) put down the deck boards on the long weekend. It's been a bit of a hassle with all the rain, because I have to bring all the power tools inside (the mitre saw being the biggest), even if it's just threatening to rain. I mounted one of the speakers on Monday, and I'll hook it up on the weekend. Just bought some wiring supplies at Home Depot.

Craig and I went golfing (Craig's co-worker Lou joined us too) last Wednesday at Lakeview. We had a 3pm tee off, but at 2:45 it started pouring, constantly for an hour. Craig got us a pitcher of beer to wait it out, and by 4pm we were teeing off. It was amazing how fast the golf course drained. There was a slow group in front of us, which started bothering me and I shot a 52 on the front. They let us play through on 10, and then I got my game together and shot 45 on the back.

I had my best hockey game of the past year or so on Thursday. I got a goal and assist, and had a few really good chances to score, including in overtime. We ended up in a 3-3 tie. This is the most even the teams have been in hockey -- almost all our games go into overtime.

Well we're off to make dinner -- steak, corn on the cob, caesar salad. Mmmm good.
