Well…it was a better today but it really had to be…but I’ve been up since 4:44 and that sucks…that got me started early enough to get the weight work in and a ride done before the grocery run where I only spent 22 bucks…but I spent almost 50 at menards getting the deck wash and thompson’s since I couldn’t find anything better to waterproof the front steps…I tried a new deck wash made by Pittsburg paints and I really like it…just sprayed it on with an old hose sprayer I didn’t use anymore and let it set for an hour or so and washed it off…it removed almost all of the green algae and cleaned the wood really well…getting rid of all of the black mold that was on it and leaving me with a good surface to waterproof…and the jug it came in is 2 1/2 gallons for 16 bucks and I think I probably have enough to do the steps two more times…the active ingredient is pretty much bleach but it has lots of soap in it too and I love the idea that I didn’t have to scrub at all…much better on my hands and back…and my e-mail seems to be working with getting a lot of the spam I used to get along with actual e-mails for me…pretty cool…just finished a book and now I need to start another one to finish it before Friday…
