I didn’t do much for my birthday yesterday except work and wipe a snotty boy’s nose. However, I had a really great weekend a few days prior. First off, TMTD 3.0 came down and was laid to rest. Holds are packed up safe and the plywood is mostly headed to the dump due to it’s condition after being on three walls (one of which was outside). Then Lars came up and helped me build out the second story of the shop to cover most of the total floorplan. And by “help” I mean he did all the design and difficult stuff, I ran around and played monkey-boy go-fer. Davidson also stopped in to help us lift the beams into place. It was like an old fashioned Amish barn raising, except I was the only one with a beard or a fear of electricity.

Then Saturday night Stacey was nice enough to trick a pile of friends into showing up at the Copper Hog for beer and darts to celebrate my 34th birthday. The regular bham crew was there. But surprise guests included Joey and Reebs who were in town for the big Contra reunion show, plus Lars’s girlfriend (and our good friend) Cyrena, Jens & Kerri, Josh & Bethany, and Ben & Clarity who all made the trek up from Anacortes. Clarity even brought me brownies. Good times all around.

Other weekend highlights include:
-Finally selling the Jetta
-Watching Smooth on a Cougar hunt on Friday night
-Heading to plantation to learn more about shooting with Josh and Lars on Sunday
-Having time to do all of these things because David and Cheryl were around through the weekend (and my mom on Friday) to help with Jack.

Thanks everyone.
