Easter weakened
Apr. 12th, 2009 11:55 pmI presume everyone had a decent Easter Sunday, aka Zombie Jesus Day. It's the day where Jesus arose from the dead, most likely saw his shadow and proceeded to feast on brains. The latter can be seen in action to this day in backwater megachurches as the congregants submit themselves to all manner of brain destruction in his name.
They'd be far better off eating thirteen year old Corn Flakes. ;)
Was a nice day outside, but blustery and cold. I had wanted to do some outdoorsy stuff, but instead did more work in the basement. Two trash cans filled with junk, and a wheelie bin full of paper and cardboard got set roadside today. I will be giving one of my workbenches to Jeff's father, in it's place I have a smaller maple table top and some steel legs to assemble into it's replacement. The top needs refinishing, but should be fine for use once that's done. I'll finally be able to attach my woodworking vise that I've had for years (longer than the corn flakes!) because the construction of the current table would not allow it to fit. Plus, I finally get the table top out of the garage where it's been taking up space. I've decided to make use of things I have hanging around or get rid of it. Find useful homes for the stuff when possible, or trash/recycle it. There are boxes of stuff that have not been touched since moving to this place 20 years ago. I'm sure I will have some memories flooding back when I get into some of the items, but I will either use it, give it away to a good home, or toss it. My stuff has clogged up my life long enough, it's time for a bit of freedom.

Our easter weekend
Mar. 23rd, 2008 11:40 pmJeff and I had a rather nice, productive and quite fun weekend. Jeff had volunteered to be the Easter Bunny where he works. He was a bright spot for the children of families who have patients/residents at the assisted living center where he works. Most children and folk had no problem at all with the concept of a 6'3" (not counting the ears) Easter Bunny. Though it was a minor hassle cramming him into the stuffy rabbit get-up and it took away from the weekend off from work, it all evaporated with the gleeful cheer that filled the room when he made his grand appearance. Some things are just worth the time and effort. I did take a few pictures as well.
From there it was up to PA for the rest of the weekend. I took with me one of the chainsaws and the Bissell steamvac (an almost bipolar combo) to help around the homestead. Almost always I feel like I am wasting so much time when I tag along, but working around their house makes me feel like I am earning my keep, plus it helps Jeff's parents out a great deal. They cant get around like they used to, and they dont get much help from Jeff's brother and sister who live nearby. I ended up with a nice load of firewood, a belly full of Easter ham and the comfort of helping out good people who need it.
I see there is still eruptions of fallout from the Great Content Strike of 2008. So much rhetoric and vitriol, it's as if the current presidential primary mess has morphed into the strike bar fight and is still crashing it's way around like something from Blazing Saddles. One thing I cant stand to see is a group of friends (even virtual ones) fighting. It makes me feel one step closer to abandoning my LJ.

My sweet lord
Mar. 30th, 2007 09:41 pmMuch has been circulating in the news and my LJ friends list regarding the 'Chocolate Jesus' sculpture and the now-cancelled art show. Brings a whole new meaning to the term "Sweet Jesus".
Anyway, would such a sculpture endure the same fate as so many chocolate rabbits at Easter, having His ears bitten off, or head, etc.? One thing's for sure, a 200 pound chocolate Savior will crash anyone's diet, and probably cause an Atkins freak to spontaneously combust:
Definitely not something to eat all at once!
