We had a very busy weekend. I got off work a little early to start painting our (very long) fence. We didn't get started painting until around 6:30 or 7. We had to wait a little while on our neighbor to get home but it was worth the 80 bucks we saved this weekend by borrowing a professional non-compressed air sprayer. We got all but one section of the fence painted on the outside. We ended up not painting with the sprayer around the house for fear we would end up having a speckled house. We decided that our next fence would be painted before it was assembled. It looks great though even though it has only been painted on the outside. Next weekend will be very similar.

Oh, since we were painting all weekend, we also were watching the weather channel. Actually, we were mocking the weather channel. Thursday, they said that it wasn't going to rain until Saturday at 4pm. Friday, they said that it was going to be clear all day Saturday. Saturday morning, we woke up to rain. The weather channel said it was going to rain all day. It cleared up at 10am. I sprayed the second coat before the storm cell showed up around 3PM. Weather Channel is useless!! I can watch the radar and be a better forcaster. C'mon, what is the deal? That reflects badly on your advertisers.

After it started raining, we made sure all the stuff was put away and went an hour east to Statesboro for a church picnic. Everyone wanted hold the twins. I helped my dad clean up afterwards. We loaded about 6-8 folding tables into the back of his truck and left to take them to the church - about half of a mile down the road. As we went from the gravel lot to the asphalt, 4 tables were raptured from the rear of the truck. They weren't
"taken up" though until after we turned around for them.

We hung around at the house for a while before heading home. Church was great as usual. We went to lunch with the Fender's and got a tour of their house which is being constructed in Pooler. Then we headed back to the church. Jenny and the girls took naps. I watched some of General Assembly with John (the pastor) and read a little on the Quran - the "peaceful" book that the media portrays it - yeah, that isn't what I got from the book. A review can be found here. Great book, but the stuff surrounding the Muslim faith discussed is NOT for the faint of heart. Mohammed was one evil guy. Makes Osama look like a wimp.

In other news, I was the recipient of some pretty cool father's day gifts. "Kate and Emma" gave me a car charger for the ipod, a grill brush and scraper (the burgers must have been a bit crusty), a father's day themed book by Dobson, and some Emeril's essence so I don't have to make it anymore!!

Have a good week. I'll try to find some camera time.
