Rust, Tetanus and Eye Teeth

Still no baby yet, we are two days away from the due date and i think we are ready to have our new daughter breathing air and not amniotic fluid any longer. My prediction is that she'll be born on Monday May 31st, 2010. I have the same feelings I did of anticipation before Sofia was born, it's really weird to try and get your head around meeting your child for the first time. I have no shame in admitting that I got emotional see Sofia for the first time and I'm sure I will when the new baby is born as well.

Our pebble driveway has these unsightly rust trails all over the place, and my lack of knowledge just assumed it was something with the reebar coming through, although I don't know why because that isn't even really possible. Anyway the source of the rust trails is from a specific type of rock that breaks and the iron (or whatever elements) bleed down and cause the rust. The more I learn about geology I think it's something I should have maybe followed more in school, I find it interesting. Sad as it my seem. Back to the rust trails, I went out and bought some CLR (Calcium Lime Rust) to try and scrub these stains off. Well CLR is one of those old time TV gimmicks that doesn't really do what they promise. It recommends diluting it with water and then scrubbing the source to remove the C/L/R based stains/build-up. I put the straight solution on the driveway and scrubbed. Nothing happened, at all. After talking to some other people it will likely take a stronger acid to remove the rust from the driveway. Consider this my warning against CLR and for that matter the Slap Chop.

I bought a new acoustic guitar last Saturday and I really like it. It was $150 and it's very nice and will get the job done for me. My goal is to learn some songs people know, and write some songs of my own. All the goals I've set for myself musically have never come to fruition, maybe this time they will. I already was looking for Lucero/Drag The River tabs, so there will likely be some rip-offs of those bands on the horizon.
