Labor day plans? Patio, grilling, house work, good times.

Im getting ready to grill.

I guess all grills go on clearance tomorrow. I need a new grill, this one is 10 years old. I got two new heat diffuser tents for now, cost like $15, I'll go shopping tomorrow to see whats on clearance. I'd like a flat cooktop surface for things like sauteeing veggies and onions.

Picked up a new 9' rectangular (almost) umbrella at At Home for $40. Like the color. Brightens up the backyard space.

New door hardware. Testing a couple of doors, looking to buy a house pack.

Since it's now dark before 8pm in the Dallas area, I figured I'd get sone outdoor lights to grill and dine on in the backyard. Im trying to spend more time outside so this is a great way. Loaded up the patio awning and lights in my freshly washed Tundra and brought them home.

Smirnoff ice, shrimp, chicken and steak ... yes. Im relaxing and grilling now.

Just replaced the heat tent on my grill couple months ago. Pretty much fell apart when I lifted it out. Rest of the grill was in good shape.

I still want a flat cooktop. This grill is 10+ years old now.

Man, I'm stuffed. Had a pound of shrimp earlier in the day too. Lol

Well labor day is rite. I worked from 6:20AM Fri till 12:30AM Sat so yea, 18 + hours. Then Sat I had to go back to the shop, and pick up a part and deliver it. No biggie there only took 30 mins, but that was after I fixed the Snapper rear engine mower, and did all the other honey do things. So Sun I started on my 97 Silverado. Nothing went rite. I started around 10 AM, and quit at 10:30 PM and wasnt done. Today I finished up on my 97 around 4:30PM. Started around 10:00AM. So after doing a few other BS things, I ate KFC at 6:00PM. Went took a shower, and I am sitting on my recliner untill about 10:30 when I go to bed, so I can start work in the morning @ 6:20 AM. Good thing though, I racked up 9 extra hours or OT.

Can't believe it's already nearly November.
