Week Past 06/09-06/15/08 (Tiling)
Mon 06/09 gas prices broke the $4. One of the gas station on my way to work had a sign for $4.09. In SF it was already at $4 when we were there last week. This is crazy.
Sat 06/14 a former co-worker of W, Dennis, started installing the exterior tiles we bought about a year ago. He's a programmer at Northwest Air but he's hobby and sideline is doing handyman stuff. I had to help him buy materials and install the tiles. Busy day and hot. We rented a tile cutter atHome Depot around 11:00 am and returned it before 6:00 pm. We were charged the full 24 hours. They did not mention that if you rent it 6 hours or more you'll be charged the 24 hour rate not the hourly. It amounted to $87.00 ++. Felt like a rip off.
Sun 06/15 is Father's Day and I have to work. Called my Dad in LA when I got home to greet him. Seems he and my Mom had what I call "old couple's tiff" in the morning putting my Dad in a state of snit. So he decided not to go out to celebrate with the rest of the household. Anyways when I called early evening everything's okay. But to me he missed the fun.

Installing the tiles. Finally after a year since we bought it. (L)Dennis working partly covered by W
