Sorry folks, for lack of a decent post. Things are busy here as you might expect with my moving to the other side of the planet and all. I am leaving Roc-city here in a few days. Saying goodbye to my home of over a year. I am going to spend some "quality" time with my parents. Which I am sure will mainly consist of my parents working and me snuggling up with a cat or five. Ah, it's alright. It will give me a chance to relax before some of the madness starts up. Not saying that moving over to Australia is madness, but there is lots to be done when I arrive. Such as PLAN A WEDDING! I think we have three months left to pull this shin dig off. I know we can do it. Especially with the help of Miks family. Anyways, hope you all are happy and healthy. If I don't post within the next few weeks you know why.
Don't worry though, there will be plenty of wild, wonderful and wackyily adventurous photos coming. Mik promised me he would take me to go hold a koala. There will be OODLES of photos of that.

Got Wood?
Long time, no post. Yes, I am alive, although I'm going to be dead tired by the time Erica arrives...let's just say that the house is getting a muchly needed once over, top to bottom, end to end.
And as a part of this make-over, I decided to spruce up the old bed frame with a headboard. This was my first ever major foray into the dark arts that is woodwork.
Many lessons were learned along the way:
1. You cannot stain MDF with good results, and it'll take two weeks to dry. Real wood from real trees makes real good looking wooden things. I'm glad I found this out, else I wouldn't have tried it with the real stuff and ended up with my final masterpiece.
2. When you put on an Estapol finish, make sure the damn coat is even, and doesn't have runs in it...ESPECIALLY SOMEWHERE REALLY FRIGGEN OBVIOUS!
3. Get LOTS of extra sandpaper if you get caught by mistake #2.
4. Don't waste your money on sandpaper, or the junk they make with glass. Garnet paper for the win, hands down!
5. Sand everything down smoooooth, the stain WILL enhance any scratches you may miss.
6. Perfection is impossible, that's why everything I make is "rustic"...it has the old used and imperfect look to it.
7. Just buy a damn wooden bed to begin with.
Anyhoo, I hope Erica likes it, it's something I've wanted to do for a long time, and now that she is on her way, well, the time was right. Now at least we can sit up in bed. The old tubes were a real pain the back and neck.
Enjoy, my love, this is for you.

Good thing the fate of the world isn't decided by sports games.
Yes, I watched the Super Bowl. In a last minute goal thingy the Patriots LOST to the shit eating Giants. Who's stadium isn't even in NY it's in NJ same with the Jets. How can that be for NY team? Anyways, better luck next year Pats.
