Out of the Blue

Went out on the town with my buddies last night and had tee many martoonies. A fine time was had by all, and everyone got home safe and sound. This Saturday I was rewarded with heavy machinery as an alarm clock, as someone's home maintenance needs conflicted with my desire to sleep in. This is still going on hours later... I swear it sounds like someone is trying to sand down a block of concrete out there.
