    All ready for quarantine patio drinks. Not even corona will stop me from margaritas in the sun!

    Old skirts were pretty much falling off... said screw it, let’s convert it to a modern finished edge... quick scrub on the existing deck and it should look pretty good! ...still have to do the upper deck to match though

    Wand wash, hand wash, iron-x, clay bar, and finally waxed one of my cars.

    Probably do another car later this week or next weekend. Could use a bit of correction, so if I can find the time I'll probably polish once or twice before waxing since I'm going through the effort of decontamination and clay bar anyways.

    Put the new TV up, Power raked front and back yards. Fertilized the front, cleaned the garage and washed 2 of the 3 vehicles. Modelo time.

    Took my home theater back from my kids. Upgraded to an Atmos receiver and replaced an old broken sub. Played with atmos demos using the existing 7.1 speaker placement and virtualization mode, then tried multiple ceiling speaker placements for an actual 5.1.2 setup including hanging speakers above my head. Settled on high side mounted atmos speaker position firing up to reflect off the ceiling, which surprisingly sounded no different than speakers sitting right on top and wasn’t ugly as hell. Threw on the Dolby demo clip, freaked out my one kid who hates bugs and birds as it sounded like something was flying thru the room. Mission accomplished.

    Always thought Atmos was a gimmick but after watching Gravity and a couple episodes of F1 drive to survive, I’m sold. Now just need a new TV and the upgrade is complete.

    The new tv Sharp LC65N7104U 65" 4K Ultra HD IPS. Hanging it 3 times was a good way to find out that one if my 2' levels is fucked...fml.

    Picked up all the dog poop in the back yard, then started to de-thach and rake the grass, then it rained. Maybe tomorrow. Do yall rake by hand or rent a power de-thatcher/power raker?

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Made a bunch of headway on a couple projects. Mostly have my daughter's floating bed built, just need to sand and stain it mostly and attach the headboard.

    Also started building a custom little library for a beyonder as well.

    Been preaching the benefits of atmos for a while now. It’s really awesome actually.

    Hired someone to come pick up leaves and dog poop. We have a tree that for some reason holds leaves until end of January. It's super duper. Once this guy is done I'll power rake the back yard and start getting ready for fire season. The goal this year is larger fire pit.

    Raise the lawnmower deck before you power rake.

    My buddy bought one last year and had his mower on the highest it would go and it scalped his lawn. It definitely detered me from trying, I'll stick to a dedicated dethatcher.
