I'm not complaining, only smiling.
I could not figure out how to make it bigger. Men always seem to be able to do that.

Usually he will plunge into a big project and then I do the maintenance.
Like he built the stanchion and I milk the goats.

Ah, I see. I just have trouble getting DH to get started - even if he likes an idea. He likes to think. And think and think. Once I start gathering tools and asking him how the saw works he gets a move on 
How are your hands feeling? Mine are back to hurting and not sure why. I did slack off on my mag oil and vitamins last week though.

Very nice!!!
Boys are so cute about that. Anytime I want to do a project, my roommate thinks of ways to complicate it and improve it beyond what anyone can actually do. I keep telling him to keep it simple and he says this IS simple! lol.

Hubby is actually very inventive and when I can get his butt away from the computer is an extremely hard worker. But the computer is just soooooooooooo fascinating for him and considering how much time I spend on it as well, it is pretty hard for me to tsk tsk too much.
We are in a cloud this morning. Literally! A shower passed over earlier, but now we have dense white fog covering our entire lot, I'm sure a cloud is stuck on the mountain. Sometimes when I have been down the hill I have noted this phenomenon. Mt. St. Helen's is NE of us, and it is surrounded by a cluster of mountains, and our mountain is one of the first ones encountered at the tip of the Willamette valley just south of it. So clouds get pushed up here and get stuck on Mt. Saint Helens, and back up over our house. They say the "mountain makes its own weather" and we are under its effects.
I'm waiting for it to warm up so I can go and move dirt around, and planning tamales for tonight for Cinco De Mayo, and hoping my computer doesn't completely crash, it seems to be humming along right now. I can't watch Abifae's video or anything like that right now but if I can at least get basic service from this piece of junk for another month or two I'll be happy.
Did I mention I burned out the lawn mower motor yesterday? I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the dang thing, Hubby said I was burning out the motor and didn't hear it. I told him they should not let me MOW then but I'm just sick that I ruined the new mower we bought last fall that I wanted so bad.

thanks, ladies, as the token male following this, I don't whether I should laugh for cry.
The latest gig here is moving some large bushes around to space them out and make things look "better". Two of the bushes, each with a root system of about a bushel basket had to be moved a grand total of 11 inches - I measured it.
In my gender's defense, if you ask us how long something will take and we say 2 weeks, you can't trust your girlfriend's opinion that you can do it over a weekend and then wonder why it takes us 2 weeks to clean up your mess. :
waiting for the return volley
