Took a few days off from the house stuff, but here are the final exterior shots before you start to get to see the inside.

8:41a - Odd Week
It's been sort of a strange week so far. Kids have been in Florida, so I've had the place to myself, and though I've done something most every night since last Thursday, somehow it doesn't FEEL like I have, if that makes any sense? Probably not...lol.
Tuesday night was actually pretty interesting. Though Akron has come a long way as far as things to do, Tuesday is not really gonna be a big party night at most places around town. However, we have this VERY cheesy bar in town called Fat Tuesday's, and my buddy had heard they were actually pretty hopping on Tuesdays, so we decided to take a look. It was beyond cheesy, and as we sat there in a relatively empty bar at 10:30 or so, drinking a beer and listening to them play Justin Timberlake, Brittany Spears and Christina Aquilera in succession, and seemingly over and over again, I was starting to think this place might be a lot like my version of hell.
We hung on for a while though, primarily for two reasons - 1) a cute bartender who went about 95 lbs, with a waist I could put my two hands around and tits the size of cantaloupes...lol; and 2) Paul was trying to figure out where he knew this attractive blue-haired goth girl from, and why she was hanging around with a huge group of sorority looking girls. Both mysteries were solved when she finally came over and said hello, recognizing my friend as one of her tenth grade teachers. She tells us she was there with a bunch of friends from work, one of whom was having a 21st birthday party, and that she's divorced, with an 11 year old, 13 animals at home of different sorts, and that she loves to go fishing....lol. We learned two things from this - actually the first things is just a reinforcement of the idea you should never judge a book by it's cover, and two, we are WAY too fucking old to be hanging out in what is primarily a college bar...lol.
By this time though, the music had improved to at least a less poppy stream of hip hop, and the place was getting packed - like, can barely move, raise the temperature 15 degrees packed, which is not at all a bad thing when college girls dress for that. In short, ended up having a pretty good time, and it's nice to know there is a crowd to be found somewhere if desired on a Tuesday night...even if it is a little cheesy.
