Seriously, I didn't die...seriously

I've been pretty damn slack at posting and I'm sorry. I've been pretty busy at work and when I've been home (if we didn't have company), I've been spending a lot of time working in the yard. So I've been negligent to the blog. So here's a super post with most of my work during the period.
