Power Washing, Pig Pickin' & Pigskin

Power Washing

Last week I power washed the porch and started power washing the deck. My gasoline power washer finally gave out so I’ve replaced it with an electric one. The gas washer obviously has, or rather had, a lot more pressure – but the replacement electric washer is really all I need. This week I’ll work on the deck a little each evening and hope to have it finished by next weekend.

Pig Pickin' Party

Saturday I went to a pig-picking / party that friends (CP & SP) host once a year. It's a charity fund raiser - and an excuse to have good music and a good time. One of them, along with their neighbor, has formed a semi-professional country-rock band - MJB. They’re getting pretty good.

The gathering officially started at 8 PM, but I volunteer to pick up the kegs so I got there around 6 PM to deliver the beer and to help finish setting up. The music was great and I'm guessing about 100+ (maybe 150?) people showed up. It was a lot of fun and very successful. I got home after midnight which is really late for me.

During Sunday, I didn’t do much. Just puttered around the house and took a couple of naps. I picked up the empty kegs and will deliver them back to Total Wines & More at Cross Roads on my way home from work Monday. Actually, my friends went out on Harris Lake to go fishing so I met them at the boat ramp and we transferred the empty kegs from their truck to mine. That saved me a special trip to Fuquay-Varina.

And finally

College Football Season arrives! NCSU hosts Appalachian State next Saturday night. Although NC State will likely be average at best – I’m really looking forward to the games.

This Week at Work

This week is going to be pretty busy. I’m slightly behind on office work so I’ll be hitting that pretty hard. I’ve also got to do some work at the Morehead School for the Blind on Tuesday and three of the engineers will be in the field all week.
