Happy Easter!

We had a great spring day for the annual bunny visit at work. After the bunny, Lisa and I stopped by Wendy's for a late lunch before starting our typical Saturday work around the house. Wendy's now has four deli sandwiches that are served on the bread that everyone seems to have now. The bread was pretty good coming from a fast food joint but they really missed the boat as far as the rest of the sandwich. Here is this big piece of bread with two slices of lunchmeat, one slice of cheese, a tomato, onion and mayo. At over $3.50 a pop, there ought to be a little more meat and cheese....not overly impressed.

Once home, Lisa started cleaning the house and I cut the grass, weedwacked around the house and reshaped our flower beds. Around the house in the flower beds, the builders decided to terminate our downspouts three feet from the house and then directly into the beds. Not sure why they had their heads in their rear ends but they did. Everytime we get a rain, all the mulch is washed away from the area that is around the downspouts. Extensions on the downspouts are going to look ridiculous since a couple of them will need to be nearly 10 feet long so it looks like next weekend's project will be to fix the problem for good. I will connect the down pipes to 4" flexible plastic tubing and bury it. I will get the water discharge further away from the foundation and it will clean up the look of the house a bit. Hopefully this solution will help me keep the mulch where it belongs and not in the grass.

Went to BW3 last night for dinner and had wings in their new Habenero Mango sauce (may not be that new but new to me). I typically stay away from any sauce that has mango in the title because mango typically imply somewhat sweet. The sauce was suprisingly good. A little sweet at first but then finished with a decent kick (highly recommended).
