Now that I've spent some time chilling and being a bachelor, I think it's time to get my rear in gear and start doing stuff around the house.

Visited Andy Monday and Tuesday evenings - just to chat and we put together a grill last night.

I had to clean out the gutter yesterday because the leaves got stuck in them and the gutters were getting filled with water with the rain.  Anyone have any good ways of preventing leaves from getting into the gutter in the first place?  Or should I just take a hose and give it a good ole' cleaning every spring?

I'm looking at my hallway being tempted to rip out the carpeting.  The question is how late can I stay up tonight.  I figure since tomorrow is garbage day I could dump a few old carpet pieces in the trash bags.

I also have to start exercising.  I found a cool iPhone app at loseit.com   Check it out.  So you should see me starting to post some weight loss / eating habits.  Hold me accountable!

It sounds like my wife is having a fun time in Mexico.  I miss her a bit, but doing ok - looking forward to seeing what she posts on Facebook.
