So you got the house right?

I am dying to ask (totally off-topic) about how it's going in Indy? Are you adjusting? It's got to be better there than living in Illinois. If it were not for my family and friends being here, I'd never settle in this state.

LOL...yeah...no. My wife is tiny compared to me...but she's an old school italian with a temper...I wouldn't cross her. We did buy a house from another old italian guy who literally built everything. I never felt less like a man. The guy built the two level deck, he built a beautiful stone fire pit, a shed...a freakin gazeebo! I've done some demo work...put up a couple of walls...nothing like that though. I don't have the smoke house or wine making area...but my back yard is like a park now.

Ya my dad and I lived in an apartment, I never learned any of that. I can do some real basic stuff, but nothing crazy. Hell you wouldn't even be able to do half that stuff now b/c of all the paperwork and regulations now.

I still regret ever letting my wife take this job. Should have stayed in San Antonio. It's just impossible to turn down more money and a lower cost of living. But quality of life is not better. There is no good social setting here. San Antonio was awesome. We have talked about heading to Tenn or the Carolina's after this, or back to Texas, but my son is getting really close to HS age and after that my daughter will be right there also. So I don't see that happening.

My wife and I have always wanted to visit San Antonio. We've heard that it is really a cool place. Regarding Indiana, it could be worse. You could be here in Illinois :-)

Hah...to make it even worse my father was a contractor...he did this shit for a living! He never really taught me much though...I was always demo and clean up whenever I worked for him in the summer.

San Antonio is awesome, especially if you like to eat.

I wouldn't live in IL or MI. No way I'm living in the north unless it's b/c of family

My mom's husband was really handy, and when we first got married we'd ask him to come over and help, but he always found a way to come during the day while we were at work so he never showed me/us how to do anything. Drove me nuts.

Is Illi really that bad? Always thought it was okay-ish. Surely there are worse states than Illi such as Wisconsion and Michigan right? I might be biased as a Bears fan though

Sounds like the game kicks off doing dinner time in US?

When it's kickoff time we are long passed dinner and heading towards the snacks, over here.

For dinner I will going all homemade this year. Normally I just do the pulled pork and BBQ-sauce myself and buy coleslaw and burgerbuns, but this year I will be making it from scratch. So burgers with pulled pork, coleslaw and BBQ-sauce.
For snacks I will be making nachos with some nice red cheddar, a bit of cake and some sweets.
Drinks are whatever I feel like.

Coke, beer or whatever.
