Busy.
Bought and renovated TWO houses.
Built the shed of DEATH at my house - try that on a HILL on Long Island's NORTH SHORE.
Bought a bike and have been TRYING to ride as much as possible.
Adopted a blind puppy - trying to train it.
Some stuff at work, now I actually have to be there sometimes...   fkn pricks...
So... "Contractor talk" just had to take a back seat.
