Minor Threat
Minor Threat with a big attitude
More attitude coming your way. (This is just what the camera caught... he wasn't acting the way it looks)
New Lawn
We decided to put in a new back lawn. It was green, but very patchy. Here's the start of the whole process. Notice the beefy tiller on the right, then notice the tail tucking front and center. Tahoe knows when he's met he match.
After the tilling was done, I put the raking crew to work. The union insisted that there be a foreman on site. He brought some crackers to munch on.
Finishing up the sprinkler layout. Connor was very helpful in removing the flags no matter if the sprinkler was installed or not.
The grass arrives. 400, 50lbs rolls totaling 2000 sq ft.
Was Casey on the clock for this picture? Get to work!
Casey laying down the sod.
It hadn't been down for more than 10 minutes and he's already claiming territory!
Jennifer jumped in and moved some sod too.
Dad giving homage to the last remaining square of dirt. The lawn "keystone", if you will.
2.5 hours later, we had a completely new lawn!

Beach time
Fun at the beach
More fun at the beach
Placemats
This drawer's not big enough for Connor AND the placemats.
Funny guy
He thinks he's funny. Okay, I have to admit that I was laughing just at him laughing.
Program for USB memory sticks
For you geeks out there with those USB memory sticks, Microsoft has quietly released a cool little app that helps you use it more effectively:

Rommates and Baseball
We met up with my roommates from college, along with our wives and girlfriends, in LA to see a Padres/Dodgers game.
Another stadium visited. I thought Dodger's stadium was nice. Jennifer was born with a distaste for all things Dodger, so she wasn't too impressed.
Dustin, I thought you were camera shy!
Dinner before the game at BJ's Pizza. Yummy.
