House Price

I checked the value of my house last week on Zillow.com it was not good. Then i checked it 2 weeks later and it went up $5000. That's still not good but going in the right direction.

LV - AZ - LA - CO

Well i just got back from my almost 3 weeks of being on vacation. I don't really feel like typing out everything that happened so i'll just do a quick outline:

Las Vegas

• Walked up and down the strip several times and had a great time
• Went to the ACMA's, got to be seat fillers and part of Taylor Swift's song
• Went to an outdoor concert on Freemont street
• Stopped at the Grand Canyon on the drive to Arizona

Arizona

• Went to Sedona National Park
• Went hiking several days in Globe Arizona, somewhere between 4,000 and 8,000 ft

Los Angeles

• Went to an Dodgers game
• Got to be on the Price is Right show (airs May 27th)
• Went to Universal Studio

Colorado

• Went to Garden of the Gods, which is at the base of the Rocky's near Pikes Peak
• Went to the Sugarland concert

I guess some other things happened too, like being stopped by the police in Kansas. Apparently they thought we were drug traffickers, going from Arizona to Detroit. Luckily we were able to outsmarted them and get away.

That's about it.

Trip Update

I'm still in Arizona but here are a couple of pictures from my trip so far. I'll be sure to post more when i get home in a week or so. As of right now i've walked the Las Vegas strip for a few days, went to a concert on Freemont Street in "old vegas" visited the Grand Canyon, and Sedona Arizona. Lots of walking.

MSU Cornhole

In honor of the Spartans making it to the Final 4, two years in a row i thought i would post the cornhole game i made a few years ago. For some reason i'm super proud of how this turned out. Probably because i though it would only take a few hours and it ended up taking a few weeks.
There are a lot of versions out there but the reason that this is far superior to them all is because it is strong and light weight. Most people use 1/2" plywood and 2x4's which is way too heavy. I made a frame out of 1 x 1/2" pine then used 1/8" hardboard.
