Wanderlust

Vacation to do nothing in particular

It's probably obvious we've been too busy to post much lately. We've both been very focused on work and Owen. Today I took some vacation from work. Originally I was supposed to do some yard work and work on the truck. (Side story: We haven't used the truck much in the past 8 months. But recently it seems that the front end was loose. I finally lifted the truck off the ground and noticed the front right tire was very very easy to jiggle. So we took it to a mechanical to work on. The bearing was loose. Or should I say loose enough to have the wheel fall off. When the y called for the estimate, the guy asked if I drove the truck there. When I picked it up the guy said I should be proud of how bad it was. He was showing the bearing and hub to everyone and said it was the worst anyone has seen and he was surprised it hasn't fallen off before we dropped it off. So $800 later, we now have the truck back).

So today it's been cold and somewhat wet with rain every now and then. And since Owen has been sick, I decided stay home anyways to watch him while Kaz works. I've had a pretty good day. I'll been able to do some of my favorite things; read, play guitar (which I've been doing almost everyday lately), cook, and take pictures. Well I didn't really take any photos, but I went through a bunch I've taken in the past two weeks and posted them to my new flickr account. The picture on the right should lead you my photostream. I'm going to try to post alot of photos there to try to increase my skills and force myself to take and post more pictures. Unfortunately I tend to take lots of Owen pictures, but maybe that isn't a bad thing at all for some.

It's been really nice to have a day off that isn't a weekend. I didn't feel like I needed to do anything like I usually do on the weekend. I recommend to everyone to take a day off for no reason at all. And then do nothing in particular.
