Some houses gots to be put to bed. This one has a crumbling foundation so it can't be built-up without stabilization work, and stabilization work is more work than its worth. Personally I'd like to host an episode of "Extreme Home Makeover" or "Hoarders: The Clean Up" where it is just a couple guys dropping dynamite on to a roof.

EDIT: Some salesman convinced us he could save the foundation with carbon fiber ribbing if we got rid of the concrete pads sinking against the foundation. We compromised and agreed we could build two structures for what it would cost to wreck the whole thing and build solo from scratch. weeee....

I disapprove of your money making schemes but would watch reality tv that you produce.

I live in fear of winding up like my in-laws. There are just two of them in the house, and they have an oversized side-by-side PLUS a stand-up freezer in the garage, and their fridge and freezer are still packed so full (and so messily) that I usually have trouble finding a place to stick a couple of juice boxes for my kids when we visit. It's so incredibly disgusting, I'm sure they've got food just rotting away in the back. It's like some kind of mental illness, almost, that's confined to their food storage areas (the pantry is horrid, too). I just can't stand the thought of all the food that must be wasted because they don't even know it's in there.

At a company I used to work for the refrigerator was like this. After about a year I decided to clean it out and it's exactly like you just described. The further back I went the worse it got. It was pretty disgusting.

... try out a new gym. Across town from my old gym, which just opened. I am nervous that this will split my group of climbing friends into partitions, as some adopt the new, taller, closer to my house, cheaper gym, and others stay at that old place that we've closed down so many nights, with my blood in it's walls and my sweat on its floors.

Hey paul. Its an artcar on the parkway!

That's pretty neat. What do you think it is? It looks like it might be a high tech tennis shoe or something.

From what I understand it is an ETV: http://www.gizmag.com/extra-terrestrial-vehicel-etv/12116/

That is actually frightening looking. Like evil aliens would arrive in it, not friendly ones.

Don't judge an alien by his spaceship.

That's pretty cool. Not exactly a production car, but not a one of a kind either.

Looks heavenly, but gas-inducing. What's actually in it?

I don't do a lot to soft shells. I've got a lot at the moment so I'll make a soft shell crab parm with some linguini, but what you see there is a simple sandwich with tomato lettuce onion, etc. It is counter-intuitive to go through the trouble of buying soft shell crabs and then bury it in sauces and fixings so the pasta dealy is unusual for me.

TIG learn that Paul McCartney has a (step) sister.
