At the tail end

It's been a hell of a time home the past two weeks. Busy, productive at times, but frustrating too. Some medical stuff interfered with my good time.  

       I have an old jacuzzi I bought for a song a couple of years ago. Thing still works like a champ, although it's indoor season here in South Florida now, and nobody wants to be in a hot jacuzzi when it's 96 degrees at 95% humidity... so it wasn't the most well-thought out idea to do a big construction project at this time of year, but I got a load of 2x10's and 5/4x6 pressure treated wood and built a multileveled set of stairs to the jacuzzi. It took me about a week of working 2-4 hours a day because I'm not a framer, and certainly not an expert, and while it came out well in the end, it sucked up a bunch of time, along with me dealing with some age-related health BS and related testing (I officially have arthritis, go me), there's been some downs along with all the ups... but thankfully there are more positives than negatives, between visiting with family, spending time with my own nuclear family, and some world-class swimming afternoons spent in the pool with a bucket of beers... well, lots of good, and like all good times at home, passing too fast. Tomorrow I pack my bags, and Tuesday I'm back on the plane, headed to NY and to work again.
