  oh, and yeah; i got a new granite bistro table out in the yard. just need chairs. man, i did all of that with a huge pile of sand place in the middle of it, courtesy of Dad. Not only did i fill two big boxes of extra sand, i played like i was a lacross player and hucked maybe 50 loads of it from a huge shovel. just chucked it out onto the hill behind my place. that's going to come back to me pretty soon.
