Some info on the purchaser.

Two new knives. Top one is the same Damascus with rosewood handles for my sheath maker. Bottom one is for me. It is standard high carbon steel with purpleheart and maple handles. I really have to get a DIY lightbox done for these.

Great looking knives Eric.
Neat cloud shot too.

I'm off to try and reduce the size of my reading stack. It gets bigger faster than I can take stuff off the top.

I so hear you on that. Not to count the novels I would like to read, I get about 6 trade magazines, and a couple self interest ones as well. Darn internet takes up much of my free time.

Turns out Lois washed the bedding today. We're having a standoff to see who breaks down first and makes the bed. I'm hiding in the office.

Just go crash in the unmade bed

This is what I threaten to do, Lisa can't stand it and begins to make the bed>

Thanks Zane. My 8 hours turned into 9.5, as I had to finish some work to cover someone else's butt

The first thing Abbie did when the family walked in was give the 2 year old massive slobbery face kisses. He didn't mind, and the older boy thought it was hilarious.

They played outside with her (I had all the other dogs locked away in the bedroom) for quite some time, and they will definitely be able to keep her busy. They loved that she fetches, and she also played a great game of keep away with the older boy.

They really liked her.
They took her home with them for the evening, they need to make sure that she'll be ok with the mom's wheelchair (it's motorized).

But they want a dog that is about Abbie's age, well trained, good with the kids, but still trainable. She said that they want to train her to help the mom in the future if her illness progresses to the point where she is in the wheelchair all the time.
I think that is SO awesome, and Abbie is perfect for that.

They'll call me in a few hours and let me know what they've decided.

fingers still crossed (toes had to be uncrossed to ride)

This happens all the time to a friend who has an organic ranch. Some butt head wrote a book about good places to bicycle, they included the area around our horses. On the weekends we get packs of metrosexuals in bright spandex thinking they are riding the tour duh French. They ride 5 abreast on the country roads. Inevitably someone sees the Anatolian Shepherds my friend has as guard dogs for the sheep and decides because they are not obese and living in an air conditioned apartment they are suffering. They call animal control and leave nasty notes. Animal control doesn't even respond anymore they just call and say they got a report. These dogs are bred for livestock life and are MUCH happier in a field than a house. They have shelters, water and food twice a day. Here is one of the "poor" animals.

oh they look soo abused - lack of tummy rubs

Permagrin wrote in post #8174020
wow, I did want a novel I guess because I could really see what you were saying.

Sometimes "perfect for us" isn't perfect in everything. I get it

I've been thinking over the last few days how two dogs from half the same lineage can be so different and yet both fit well with us. We can't help but love Kona...he's so expressive in everything he does. He keeps us active and obviously has a great joy in just living and we find his nuttiness very endearing. Hale has much less of a "personality" (if I'm expressing that correctly) but is so sweet that she draws out a completely type of affection from us. At least, in the 6 days we've had her, we've not seen a lot in the way of overt personality. She's got one but it's completely different from her half brother.

Well Tiff and Gus are different personalities, why would the fur kids be any different?

That works! I'll be very happy if I'm able to keep mine alive till they're 18. After that, they're on their own. Mama is a little bit scatterbrained at times....

What is my excuse for being scatterbrained at times?

Puppy goodness. *mmMMmmmMmM* I love puppy breath.
These 2 little girls will get adopted fast, I'm sure.

I love the look on Hale's face in this photo.

Billy adores him and I am sure he flushed plenty, when my mom asked Eli if he missed me he said he almost cries sometimes, but then sucks it up. LOL! She then asked how the cat was doing without me and he said he was confused. He does seem quite pleased to have me around and has sat on my lap for about an hourt now purring his little heart out.

He is happy Mom is home

We are having an early birthday dinner with Caitlin tonight, as she heads off to Las Vegas first thing in the morning to celebrate with her boyfriend. My baby girl is turning 21, kinda makes me feel old.

Ok, I'm over it now. Not quite ready to get old yet.

Happy Birthday to Caitlin. And Jim, you are only as old as you act.

You have every right to brag, Papa. Digg'n the green shoes.


Oh, I hope it works out.





Gorgeous, Harm.


No doubt, great expressions.


I like it Lisa. I thought it looked great earlier this month too. It is a great cut on you.

Hi all. I'm starving, we got anything more substantial in here than jello?

I had to fast for 6 hours due to us looking to buy some more life insurance. The underwriters RN was here this evening taking blood and what not. But, she commented on a picture of Aiden on the refrigerator so of course I was obligated to tell her we were part time photographers too. She was ecstatic, that we come to homes for portraits. Seems they have a farm with horses and no family photo.

Congrats on getting a new client.

In the middle of vacation I got an error that my camera body wasn't getting info from the lens and to clean the contacts, The lens hasn't been off the body for a few weeks, so I simply turned it off, released the lens and reconnected it and turned it on and it went away...but I did get nervous there for a bit!!

Glad it worked out for you. I would be more than a bit nervous about camera errors.

Skrim17 wrote in post #8176097
Of course I did Chet!! We had a blast.

horsie goodness





my guys, shot into the sun with no fill, tried to recover it in LR

They are keeping Abbie. They love her.

Wonderful News - Cat gets new foster tomorrow - yeah - more puppy photos.

Pretty.

Morning everyone. I think I found the perfect time to catch up - start at about 4 am - I was able to catch up with out chasing pages being added.

Downside is 4 hours of sleep. Someone is going to be cranky at work tonight if she can't fit in a nap.

I will pass it on to her, she is at the airport right now. Seems I might actually be quite young then.

That is what I find too Heather, most of the babble fingers are sleeping, a great time to catch up.

Sounds like John may have some competition later then.
Naw.......On second thought, I doubt it.

Pleasant dreams.

I had very strange dreams all night. Took a melatonin and boy does that stuff wake up the dreaming part of the brain.

other bloodsucking creatures (ie. skeeters) have been out and after me for hours.

They are incredible this year is seems. Just before sunset you can see them rising out of the grass.

it seems it may be difficult to rent a good underwater housing for the 5d. DANGIT, I really, really want to do some underwater pics of the kids w/o buying a disposable camera.

Your gonna stick your 5D under water How about picking up one of these?

See above. Take the fun aproach. It's amazing at how quickly you will no longer be invited to make the bed.

The problem is that I can't nap at work - to many new employees that need training, and too much going on. Tonight is the unofficial opening of Night Time Zoo and I get the 2:30 - 11:00 pm shift. You don't know how much I hate this shift. It really throws my body through loops first adjusting to it, then adjusting back to a "normal" schedule at the end of summer.

Morning all....

The tossers at work fixed the IT / web issues, so all those nice websites are banned again

ahh well.

Thanks for the kind comments about my redone photo, I appreciate it!!

These things usually happen in 3's. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and now possibly MJ. I'm not superstitious at all but it generally happens that way.

Read the mailing lists I do. They happen in a lot more than 3s.

I've always had strange, vivid dreams. I fell asleep at work a few days ago and dreamed that I was at work taking a nap. That was one of my more boring dreams...

I can imagine. I work a split shift, 6:00am to noon and 6:00pm till midnight. It took me 6 months to get use to no more than 5 hrs sleep at a time and even on weekends I can't sleep past 5:30 in the morning and need an afternoon nap.

Recursive dreaming. I've had that happen before. Sometimes it takes a while to realize you finally ate at the top level of the recursive loop.
