T G I F What are you doing this weekend?

Took crazy dog on a drive. 
It was good.
I didn't take as many photos as I normally would have.

I think ever since I got a "good camera" in my phone,  I stopped using my very good digital camera.  Which BTW really is much much better than any cellphone camera. 
So in the end,  I take less photos for some reason,  and what I take are crappy compared to what I could have been taking. 

I need to post images here...
I wish it was as simple as uploading to furtopia direct instead of using image hosting

Mostly sleeping off Thanksgiving lol
I'm trying to see if any of my friends want to go see the Jurassic world tour.

Decorating for Christmas. Plan on doing a bit of outdoor decorating too.

 Taking my time with the Christmas decking. No real reason to rush. The old fashioned looking LED C7s around the front window and door look, old fashioned.  They are super bright outside. Feels good to make the whole neighborhood glow. Look awesome on the main tree as well. Decided to go with a table top 1970's 'bottle brush' tree instead of the aluminum tree. Along with the main tree there will also be the three foot fake feather tree. I'll start the 8+ hour ornament hanging on the main tree tomorrow. A lot of work.  But family, friends and folks that come by always enjoy it. Makes all this work worth it. to be honest, if it was just me I'd still do it. I'm worth it.

Trying to get my back to stop spasming.  I slipped a disk.
Getting tired of this.
Going to see doc on Monday.

So I am taking it easy.  Too bad I damaged my back when I was in my twenties... it never got better.  That is a long time to have this pain.

Hope you get to feeling better soon Jade.

Working on my biggest Christmas prop yet. The deer I made a few years ago is 44 by 36 wide. Stands on all fours and has saddle bags on both sides filled with faked antique candy boxes. This year I'm making a stand up fire place. Out of the cardboard box my lawn mower came in. It will be 44 wide. 41 inches tall. The fire place will be nine inches deep with a 14 inch deep base. Fire box will be >9 deep by 24 wide and 26 1/2 tall.  Don't know if I'll have time to make the fake logs this year. The fire place will be mostly cardboard. Soothed out with a home made polymer and paper mache'. To keep it light all the supports will be out of cardboard. The mantle and base will be styrofoam. Be something I'll be able to carry around. Lug it up or down stairs. Depending on where I decide to store it.

I think I caught some kind of flu bug. Experienced minor cramps and sinus headaches a few days ago, and dealing with the after effects.

Maybe putting up the tree and wrapping presents.

Model club meeting and Christmas gift exchange on Saturday.
Probably stay home on Sunday, relax, and work on a model kit.
