Deck Survives Load Test!

The load test for the new deck was run on July 2, 2005. In that the deck is still standing, I declare it fit for loads.

This year’s load was made up of a group of miscreants, Democrats and ne’er do wells; interspersed with a smattering of do gooders, intellectuals, Republicans and a few plainly good people (I’ll let the reader sort out who was what). In attendance were: Larry and Chris, Marcia (Chris’s sister), Don, Toni and Ned, their daughter Laura and her husband Steve and their kids, N & T’s daughter Sarah and her boyfriend, Joe and Pam, Nancy (newly retired from Kentucky), Michael Parker, Sissy (Mike’s dog), Morgan Foster and a pair of newlyweds he picked up from no telling where, Chris’s daughter Jody, her husband Jeff and their kids, Landi the dog, and my partners in crime, my daughter Kim and unofficial daughter Toni. The latter two, ran themselves ragged saving my bacon throughout the test.

To prove the above mentioned test actually took place (in the event the city building inspector should require proof), I submit for your perusal the above picture snapped during one of the most strenuous periods of the trial.
