We stayed up a bit late last night. Walter brought down his Chronicles of Riddick series of movies and we spent the evening watching them (all in a row).
The day promises to be nice, even with the wind. I can hear the wind chimes playing their merry tune accompanied by the the call of the birds at the edge of the woods. There are a number of Robins hunting for worms in the the shade of the building, as well as a few blackbirds coming in to the scene every now and then.
Sean is sleeping peacefully on the sofa (all the back pillows are in the floor giving him a nice 'twin bed' to sleep on). He even has a hint of a smile on his face.
The biggest 'noise' going on in the apartment is the heater. It groans and rattles so, I'm surprised that it hasn't woken Sean up. That is something that I'm going to try to get fixed. It is just too noisy, perhaps all it will need is some WD-40.
Walter, Sean & I worked on the patio for the majority of the day today. The entire screened area of the patio is free-standing. It is not in anyway attached to the apartment structure. It really looks nice. I'm pleased to have a way to open the door and not have to worry about Carla getting out or anybody else's animal getting in. Particularly the neighborhood cats. There are a couple of loose dogs that come by every now and then to sniff around. It is just going to be a nice, cozy, enjoyable place to sit.
We also took time out to go out and do some target shooting. Sean had a great time. I believe that he, Walter and Dad were trying to out do one another. Well....we all know that the 'Master Marksman' (Dad) would have to show everyone else up. He got a bullseye on his first shot.
The boys finished up the evening watching videos on YouTube.

Thought For the Day: In the United States, botanists joke that even the greatest oak was once a little nut.
I've been catching up with my email and ran across this blurb in the Patriot's Post:

Georgia may be on its way to a completely new tax code, courtesy of state House Speaker Glenn Richardson, who proposed legislation this week to completely replace the old code. Currently, Georgia residents pay state and local property tax, estate tax, unemployment insurance and worker’s compensation taxes, business and occupational fees, intangible taxes and insurance taxes. All of that would hit the scrap heap in favor of a flat income tax of 5.75 percent and a matching sales tax. The present income-tax rate is six percent and the sales tax is 4.5 percent. - introduced by Arthur Laffer, economist of the Regan Era
