Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives in Sacramento!


Some of you may have heard of Guy Fieri of the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" (aka. Triple D). May 30, 6:30 PST on the the Food Network in the episode titled "Burgers", he visits The Squeeze Inn here in Sacramento. The funny thing is that Judi, Davonna and I recently had lunch at this place and it was fantastic! It's located near Fruitridge and Power-Inn (7918 Fruitridge Rd). There's not much room in the joint but the burgers are fantastic.

Tune in to the episode to find out more! It's "out of bounds"!

Mom's New Floors

Mom Turner will be moving her craft room from their master suite to one of the smaller bedrooms. First, she wanted new floors installed. Dad, Grunt and I layed the new laminate on Saturday.
















And here's Kebs on the floor. Grant was on the floor trying to take care of the bottom of the door frame. Kebs wanted to help too:


Happy Birthday JD!

Thursday night we went to Claim Jumpers for Jenn's birthday celebration. Everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. Here are a few pics from the occasion.

Here is the birthday girl, Jenn, with Lo(ren) gettin' her rib on:

Disney's creativeness still in a slump...

SERIOUSLY????????

I think the creativity of Hollywood in general has reached an all time low. Do we really need to remake The Hulk? Do we really need three more Terminator movies? I know Disney is more capable than a third installment to the Little Mermaid series! LAME!!!!!




FOR THE LOVE!

Paiute Place News

As some of you may know, I recently had the opportunity to acquire the other half of Paiute Place. It's been in escrow for the past month. Close of Escrow is scheduled for Friday, May 23. We just had to file for an extension. Hopefully we we won't need it but in order to avoid penalties, we were able to do so. The lender is waiting for account verification from Golden 1. The request was submitted last Tuesday and we've yet to hear back. They are losers!!! Anywho, Tim Clark, my mortgage person, is diligently working to get what we need from that stupid credit union of mine so that we can get this closed by Friday. I'm REALLY looking to close this week so that I can utilize this three day weekend to get started on the work needed to be done.

While there is no longer any active termite infestation, there is damage that requires reparation. Paiute Place will be undergoing a facelift. Much of the siding will need to be replaced. While doing so, I'm going to replace some of the siding on my side as well. The exterior will then be repainted. The color of choice at this time is Rosemary Sprig, but we'll see. New gutters will be installed.

The interior will also get a fresh coat of paint. Additionally, the ceilings will be relieved of their tacky cottage cheese finish. The kitchen cabinets have already been repainted, which is fine for now. They're still the same useless layout of what mine used to be before my glorious kitchen remodel but it will have to work with a new set of door knobs.

Let's hope that this thing goes through this week!

T-Rod OUT!

ANTS 2008!

I came home yesterday to a kitchen full of ants! That seriously stressed me out. There is nothing I hate more than a house full of of these infestuous little suckers. I soon found out they were on the other half of the duplex as well! Bajillions of them! GROSS! Don't worry, I made up a fresh batch of special ant spoogee for them to eat and share with their buddies. 9-to-1 parts, honey and Borax. This should take care of the little jerks in my house. However, I think commercial pest control is in order. That will happen on Thursday. Unfortunately, I'll have to dissassemble my kitchen before they spray. This morning I found the little punks in my Brita water pitcher and freezer. Going for a swim? A trip to the Arctic? Whatever. GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!

The Remainder of the Weekend

Here are some random pictures from the weekend.


The Casey Visit - Saturday

Saturday, the world was invited to the house in EG in honor of Jenny and family. It was nice to see everyone.

Kebs enjoyed the slide in the backyard...



...as did Landon...





















The Casey Visit - Friday

Jenny, Jason, and Landon were in town this past weekend. Landon's getting so big! It was really good to see both Jenny and Jason. Landon looks like "a real live boy" (Pinocchio).



Friday we went to the train museum. Landon loved seeing the "choochoos".





Jenny enjoyed them herself!
