Wednesday Camera Purge

Well it's payroll day yet again and I've had a office full of the little monkeys here this morning. Finally have them all on the road. I snapped this pic of the leads when they were in this morning.



Left to right that's Mir on the end, one of Jay's job foremen. Next is Jason, my service tech. He'll be a "lead" tech if we can ever find another service tech to hire under him. Beth Ann, my office mate in the center. Now you have an idea why business partner Al married her. Sorry that must be sexist, she has many other qualities too. Andy, Jay's other foreman is next , looking remarkably good for Andy. He's one of the more slovenly of our 'kids' and needs gentle prodding on grooming from time to time. That's my Hero on the end - cute smiling man that he is. We're missing the youngsters who are already out on the jobsites.



Next up is a poor quality video of the Goatie girls - The small one is Beth, large one is Belle. They went to the Vet this morning for a check up and to have the blood work up needed to get them hooked up with a Billy Goat. They need to be tested for disease before they get to go to someone else's farm for the 'hook up'. Jay took them this morning. He tells me they made quite a stir at our some what urban Vets office. I haven't hit publish yet but it doesn't look like video is loading correctly. Danggit Blogger!.....


This is my latest project. 'Latest' meaning I've only been working on it for three weeks and then only half a**ed at that. Here's the outdoor furniture 'before'



And here's the half way done picture.



The lighting is bad but you can see it's coming out chartreuse yellow/green. The paint I bought was bright sunshiny yellow. That was the look I was going for. My friend Lorrie (not to be confused with Lori/Lolli) came by and said: "yeah, you should have primed them first" - Yeah, I should have. Where the hec were you when I started? - anyway right now I'm counting it as a happy accident and will finish with a few more coats and see how I feel about it. Worse comes to worse I'll primer it and start over. But the color might just work up on the grass.

Here's a random clip of Mt. Rainer on my drive to work. We'll see if the video posts.


In other news...Jay has finally picked up the tools and started a new (small) glass project. I've been wanting him to get back at it so this is a good sign. He spent the weekend cleaning and organizing his shop space and started this peice over the weekend. It's a small one. He made the design himself. I'm just glad he's starting again.


I received a few comments in the past that their aren't many (if any) good pics of me on this blog. I've avoided the camera since I re-entered puberty last year. At least in this pic my face isn't as broken out as it has been. I don't even remember taking this but I know it's recent because I just bought that shirt two weeks ago. So here you go. Me.



This picture will not enlarge if you double click it so don't even try.

I said not to do that.

And since were dumping the current pics from the camera today here's a pic of the hens. Doing what they do best. Whatever that is.



And I'll leave you with a pretty sunset. The days are getting shorter so were seeing these less and less. I know it's fall because I've stopped getting my 32 oz Iced Teas in the morning and have switched back to Lattes - I'm currently bouncing off the walls as I type.



Have a great day -

oops- I forgot Miss Lilly
