Title: T G I F What are you doing this weekend?
Post by: Old Rabbit on February 26, 2016, 12:55:36 pm
"Thank Goodness It's Friday. "  A famous saying for most of us who put
in a hard week of work.

So what are you doing this weekend? 

I hope to do some yard work and some antenna work for my radio hobby.

As for this weekend, nothing much. Finish watching Season 3 of Stargate SG-1. Picked up some James Bond movie collections to watch. Go grocery shopping. And prepare for an upcoming model contest in about a week's time.

I watched the first two episodes of Fuller House today. Not sure if I will continue with it.

I'll probably just play the new Need for Speed game.

Saturday was my monthly science fiction book club at a local library. We read "Luna: New Moon" by Ian McDonald. Highly recommended.

Sunday I spent 4 hours outside of a large home-improvement store selling Girl Scout cookies. I'm the troop's cookie manager so I get to go to every site sale for 3 consecutive weekends.

A friend of mine is holding a steampunk costume and idea seminar next weekend. She does a lot of costume work for TV, movies and period reenactments. I'm thinking of making a weapon using a collection of found items. Turn a six inch squirt gun into a four foot steampunk circus  themed riffle. Never done anything like this before. Don't know if I'll get it finished. But that would be ok. I could display it as 'thins is what it's made of'. A win for me either way. And a cool way to help a friend out.

I'm off work on weekends normally, and this weekend is no exception. Being Easter weekend my parents and my in laws are each having dinners so I will be going to those. We pretty much have a meal together each weekend anyhow but this should be a more elaborate meal than a typical weekend. I'll probably change oil in one of our cars as well haha.. Other than that stuff I'm sure I will end up playing 3DS or drawing, and probably be  out running around a bit.

It's easter this sunday. :orbunny:

With the unsettled weather I may have to let the other rabbits
handle easter.  :D  Any way it's good to see warmer days even
though this winter wasn't really cold here in south Missouri. I
might go out and do a bit of yard work if it isn't raining or too
windy..

I saw 10 Cloverfield Lane this weekend, and it was really great except for the ending.

I wasn't aware of the original movie (Cloverfield, 2008) so I was holding onto the hope that this one was trying to be realistic. It even seemed like it was going to end that way, because the whole movie was a fantastic psychological horror film, excluding the end.

If you have seen the original, you will probably like it, and my friend also hadn't seen it but he loved it.

I thought it was quite good overall.

My lawn has been mown for the first time in a year, according to the chap who lives next door.

A few weeds have been pulled and the rose bush has had a prune, and I spoke to the neighbours on both sides, warning them of my intention to pull down a tree that takes up half the garden. They were all okay with it - It drops leaves and shadows their gardens too xD

I even cooked a little, which I hardly ever do.  :) I hope to have more weekends like this.

For us here in the U.S.A. it's the 4th of july weekend. Independance day.  We like to make a
lot of noise, and watch displays of fireworks. Guess it all started with gunshots and anvil
shootings.

For those who haven't seen one. You set two anvils, one on top of each other with gun
powder between, and light it off with a loud bang. The top anvil flys high into the air.

Of course most people have fun going on outings to lakes and streams for boating and
camping. A way to get out of the rat race of the city to  the rat race of the parks full of
fun loving people instead.  :D

I plan to stay at home and listen to the pops and bangs around the neighborhood.  Hope
you all have a nice holiday.

As for my real self, I don't have anything special planned for July 4th weekend. If I don't get my new smartphone tomorrow, I may go instead on Saturday. I usually stay home on the 4th and can watch the fireworks from my bedroom window which isn't that far away.

As for Kobuk, what is he up to?

Our furgroup's latest "Furries in the Forest" hike. More adventurous this time: the Pacific Crest Trail south from Donner Summit, California, about 3-4 miles each way. High altitude, 7000-7500 feet.

Went to that auction today. Picked up 10 ceramic lighted Christmas village buildings for $7. Four of them where from an act of kindness from a stranger. She new I was after the buildings. Some of them were bunched together with something she wanted. After the auction was over she gave me the four buildings! That's to totally cool news. The bad news is the owner must have been a chain smoker. These buildings are a mess. Trying to clean them. The paint  is coming off faster than the tar. They are sticky to the touch.....  So now I'm going to strip these buildings down to bare ceramic. Then seal and repaint. I'll take pictures of each one so I can try to match the original colors. Right now they all have brown snow. Brown sticky snow. The tar is that thick.

The bunny may have been driven by survival issues as it was very hot with no standing water to drink. The low-hanging tomatoes were like barrel cactus for him. That's a lot of work for a young rabbit. I set out a shallow pan of water. Like water, the rabbit takes the easiest path.

Recovering from hay fever issues--Ugh.

Planning to attend our local living history festival/encampment, possibly in fursuit, but likely not. The first white man to settle here was chased by wolves not far from the festival site. His "Indian dogs" helped him escape. Rocket could stand in for a wolf, and greet guests.

There is also a fur trader on site and one may buy pelts and tails of various critters.

Sunday:Go to church after work. Go back home and probably play some games with my younger brother (probably COD zombies, Dragonball Z, or Empire Total War). Maybe watch some TV. 
Monday: Always a continuation of Sunday because I live on an overnight schedule. Mostly just hang on the laptop and watch Youtube (YLYL, Gifs with Sound, Markiplier, anything else that looks interesting). I ordered some books earlier in the week, so I'll probably be doing some reading too.
Tuesday: Same as Monday mostly. Other activities include drawing, vainly clicking around Facebook and Deviantart, staving off my future goals. xD

For Halloween maybe I'll find a scary movie or two to watch by myself, while everyone else is sleeping. Hopefully it won't be as bad as when I tried playing Silent Hill PT for the first time... at night, by myself...

This is the official start of my Christmas decorating. I've got the two bookcases emptied. And most of the wooden ships packed away. All the framed art will have to come down. (18 in all. my house is almost entirely living room space ) Well all except for few. One a 1920s lithograph on wood of 'The Lord is my Shepherd'. Furniture will have to be moved. So I can get the lights and evergreen garland around the walls, windows and doorways. Then I can start moving boxes into the room. I have enough collected stuff to need packing lists on the outside of every box.  :) I did this out of  necessity. Some years ago it took me three hours to locate the tree topper. And I cant do anything with the tree till that's in place. And it takes up to ten hours to dec the tree. So that put me a day behind.

Before I can get started on the tree there's the large lighted Nativity that goes in the front yard. All the pieces are stored in the attic. They'll be brought down and kept in the living room till they go outside.

I used to take time off from work to get all this done. I still might. It's a lot for one person.

No way am I going to any black Friday things. Did it once. Makes you lose faith in humanity......  :D

I am staying home alone away from the crowds and all the holiday traffic.

I have a turkey hungry man tv dinner for Christmas,  No wrapping paper to
throw in the trash, or a tree to undecorate and put away.

I can spend the day thinking of how Christmas was many years ago. I think
most of us find memories of past happy times give us the warmest feelings
on holidays anyway.

I wish you all a very Merry Chrismas and holiday season. :orbunny:

In another hour I should be done with the main three. I'll decided then weather or not I'll put up the old silver one. Getting under the weather for five days really put me behind. I still have some cooking to do before tomorrow. And lots of cleaning. So this year's Christmas will be a bit of a rush.  I'll be able to relax and enjoy all this next week  :) I do plan on putting up a walk threw vid. Be after Christmas. Not going to do the 'this cost me this much' and 'this is worth that' I see a lot of people do. A bit vulgar in my eyes.

Sat. (New Year's Eve) - Absolutely nothing. I don't own a car nor can I drive due to bad eyesight, so I don't have to worry about being on the road with a bunch of other stupid crazy drunk people. ;) I'm going to stay home, have dinner, and watch a couple of movies.

Sun. (New Year's Day) - Buses don't run in my city, so I can't go anywhere, so I'll probably sleep in a bit, then make breakfast (Cinnamon french toast), then work on a few miscellaneous chores.

For those who are of legal drinking age and will be celebrating New Year's Eve, please stay safe and DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! Your life and staying alive is more important than anything else. ;)

Continuing with the cleaning. This is something I started two weeks ago. I'm a collector of projects. "I can do something with that". "I think I can fix that". "I'll use that". Yep. Twenty years of project. What I can't recycle goes into trash. So far in two weeks that's accumulated into 17 bags of trash and 21 bags of cardboard/paper and plastics. Plus theres a few boxes of stuff getting donated. This is just out of my basement. When the weather gets warmer I'll be tackling the garage. Or in this case, digging into the garage... :D

Waiting for great news on your finals  Varg!

If Friday is the star of the weekend I've spent part of mine watching a movie. So am I the only firry who waited this long to see Zootopia? I usually despise disney. However this movie was a pleasant change from their usual plot format. I'm going to spend the rest of the weekend trying new things with watercolor painting. I've learned that this medium is 50% skill, 50% physics. I can see why it's called the hardest of the three paints to learn. But you can do things with watercolor that's impossible to do with oil or acrylics.  Like ruin a painting with a single brush stroke.  :D

Hard to say about washing machines. I got a Maytag in 1994, and the
transmission went out after 8 years. The Kenmore I got to replace it
has lasted about 15 years  so far. Good luck with your new one.

Going to my first furmeet. I've been to a few conventions but this will be my first meet. Going to be held in a park in ST Louis. Really looking forward to seeing fellow furies again.

Still reworking my steampunk outfit. It took 12+ hours to sew together the 30 x 76 inch striped material. Went threw a spool and a half of white thread. Now i have to lay out my patterns and cut them out. Sew them together. Sew them onto the top of a pair of jeans. I cut out the belt and pockets so there will be pockets in these pants. Then I'll have a hopefully very sturdy pair of clown pants. Going to a con in a few weeks. Really hoping this pair of pants wont rip apart on me wile I'm dancing threw the halls as 'Third Clown from the Left'. Going to sew on a few more stripes on the  shirt. And add to the width of the cummerbund. Also working on some steampunk gauges and things to go down the front of the shirt. Will add some velcro to keep the mantle and cape better in place. The mantle kept turning sideways on me. If I have time I'll finally make some spats for my boots. Lots to do with only a few hours a day to work on it.

Start decorating for Christmas. Early? Not with the amount i end up putting up each year. I'm moving a 4x6 foot village display to a different spot in the living room. Looks like I might have to build a platform to put some of this on. Got to get the evergreen garland and lights up before I can even start on that. And before I do that I have to pack up and store the displayed stuff in the room. Yep. It's a lot of work. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Getting ready to go to an auction. Going for two reasons. First this is an new auction company.  I want to see how they do business. There are things I look for when going to an auction held by a company I'm not familiar with. As is, Where is and How is. Meaning we don't know if it works and your buying it without any guarantee. This is the normal order of business when things are auctioned off. In all fairness the company doesn't have time to plug in and check everything. Some auctioneers will say. "We were told it works. If you take it home and it doesn't? Bring it back and we'll refund." This is also the norm. I have no problem with either. In truth I've been burned more times by buying stuff at resale shops than at auctions. What they charge. You bid $10. You pay $10 at the desk. You bid $10. You pay $10 plus tax at the desk. I like and will do business with both. Depending on state laws where you live an auction can go either way. Buyer's fee? NO. I refuse to do business with an auctioneer  company who is going to charge me extra for a winning bid. Then there is the big no no for me. I've actually had this happen.  An item went up for biding. I raised my card ( has my name and auction number on it ) and placed a bid. I was the only one who bid on that item. The auctioneer starts to add more items to this bidding. Stopped adding when he got a higher bid. I walked out of the auction. Never went to another auction held by that company.  I'm happy to say that particular auction company is now out of business. You can't treat people that way and expect them to come back.

The other reason I'm going is they have one item I'm interested in. I've already researched the item and set a price for myself. If it goes above what i'm willing to pay someone else can have it. I have seen items sell at retail or even above.  They could have gone to Walmarts. Bought the exact same item in a box with a guarantee and paid the same price. More money than wisdom. : ) Win or not either way I'm looking forward to having fun. And who knows. They can't put pictures up of every thing they have for bid. Might find something else I can't live without.

So just incase your not board yet I'l tell you another auction story. I started a bid on an item and someone else bid. We traded bids back and forth till the other person stopped. I got the item well under the price I set for myself and was happy I won. After the auction was over I went to pay for the stuff I bought. They held that particular item card back. They told me "Your only going to pay your opening bid on this item. Not the higher winning bid." Apparently they have had problems with the person bidding against me. So I got the item cheaper and learned they value me as a costumer more than what I would have paid. I left very happy with them.

Post by: cause the rat on January 06, 2018, 09:25:15 pm
Update on the auction. Really liked the way they do business. Was easy to hear and follow what was going on at all times. Why I left early? This was a tool auction with high quality equipment  and tools being auctioned off. And a room full of people with lots more money than I had to spend. : )  Things were not going cheap enough for me to afford. Good news is I'll be back. i liked what I saw.

Yard work! I have 75 feet of miscathus grass. Usually i cut it down and burn it in place. Because I live in a town full of dumb rednecks they had to make this illegal. To many stupid people were burning their or their neighbors house down. So now I have to find someway to get rid of all this grass. Was thinking of mulching it, composting it or even cutting it up then lay it back over the plant bases. Let the grass grow through it. Next year I'll cut it off about three foot tall. Then the let new grass grow up through this. I know that works. I plan on extending this line of grass. Probably another 50 feet. I really like the look. May even take it to the other side of my back yard. Make myself a living fence all around my back yard.

I know if I compost it it will stick. Smell like cow poop.

Well I started one guitar. But some of it's parts are on back order. No idea when they'll get here. So I'll start on one I have the parts for. Disclaimer. I just make the bodies and put things together. Not craftsman enough to make a decent fretboard. One off cut out of 23 and it's no good. I buy my necks.

Fun fact about guitars. A guitar will never truly be in tune. It's imposable for a strait line to get each note perfect when each string is tuned to a different note. The frets would have to be in curves or broken up into separate pieces. But the guitar is in tune enough and we have all accepted the way they sound. Acoustic or 'box' guitars are even further out of tune. Because of their traditional one piece bridge. We've all grown up expecting a box guitar to sound like that.

Going to my mom's to discuss arrangements for her to move in with me. Unfortunately this means my brother, who hasn't had a job in the lat 25 years will be coming along. My mom I can understand. She's running out of money and can no longer afford to live in her condo. My brother is a mooch and i'm not cool with that. Will see what happens. I've lived by myself for 15+ years now. This is going to be interesting at best. Guess I'll have to learn to put cloths on when I walk through my house : )

Finishing writing a 3 page letter in Gothic Script using a calligraphy pen and rust colored ink on art paper. Sealed in an envelope with green and gold wax seals.  Thought I would try a very old fashioned method of communication.  Hope the recipient appreciates the fact it took me 2 hours to write it down.  I am still practicing.  Hope they don't laugh to hard too.

Maybe I should mail it via dog-sled team? Or have Dracula himself fly it there at night.  Oh well, USPS here I come.

Decorating for Christmas. I have a huge collection of old Santa and Christmas stuff to display. I try to do something different each year. Last year i put up a Christmas village that took up WAY to much room.  This year I'm cutting that down to no more than a seven by three foot space. Because i broke a toe a few weeks ago I'm not able to climb up and down a latter so most of the fake greenery will stay in boxes this year. One thing I'm not looking forward to seeing. Last year, wile caring two boxes of shaped ornaments down stairs I lost my balance and both boxes tumbled. Boxes are very heavy cardboard and each ornament is wrapped. But I already know I've lost a few that will be extremely hard to find. Been collecting glass shapes for well over 30 years now. Not the first time I've had an ornament disaster. Had a tree fall over one year. The plastic stand broke. Live and learn. I have a heavy duty metal stand with a wide base now. So I'll count my losses and continue to look for more to replace and enjoy.

We had a nice turnout at the cemetery in Michigan's Thumb region for Wreaths Across America today. The event is sponsored by veterans' groups. I took photos of the CAP color guard and other activities. A local TV news photographer rolled in just as things were wrapping up. He came directly to me as I was the only adult in uniform. Good thing too as I am the public affairs officer for the local CAP squadron. So I arranged to have the unit commander interviewed and to have a cadet re-enact a wreath-laying for the news story.

Need to go out for a couple of last minute gifts. All of the stuff that needs to be baked/cooked has already been bought. Then some relaxing time. I'm with you, Kobuk. No interest in watching Sunday football.

Christmas Eve....cook some of the things that need to be cooked. Out with friends for dinner.

Christmas Day...go to friends house for dinner/presents. Play with all of their dogs. Come back and relax.

Thanks FarFar. dinner was awesome! And i have enough left over ingredients left over to make another lasagne!   

I've learned how to install plugins in my DAW ( digital audio workstation ). Now I'm making a list of what each one does. Some of them have names that are self explanatory. Like 'TAL Reverb II'. Others with names like 'Headcrusher' and 'MJUCjr' need a bit of explaining. :) These programs are night and day better than what Logic Pro X came with. I've remastered a song i did recently with the new stuff. So much nicer.

A bit of explaining for those who have no clue what I just said. A DAW is a computer based music mixing program. Logic Pro X is the name of the program I use. Plugins are programs that help make a recording sound better. Like equalizers and echo effects.

Digging out from the snow storm. It's still snowing now. Been snowing for a good 24 hours straight. And making bread. I made a starter yesterday. Yeast, 1 cup of water and two cups of flour. It's to wet to be a biga and to dry to be a pollish. Kind a an in between. Right now it has a sweet wine smell to it. Perfect for some really good tasting home made bread.

I had one of those. Good for small branches. The chain gets jammed real easy in anything big or anything with a tight grain. Not saying do/don't get one, just be aware. That was my experience at least.

Cleaned myself up to look as good as I can, then took semi-professional photos of myself.
Updating my resume, and online profile on Indeed.com including photo and summary/status.
Then searching my own self using google to screen for any potential issues for prospective employers (i.e. bad background... shouldn't have any issues)
Then use google analytics (somehow) to see if my resume is any good for the kind of jobs I am trying to get. (i.e. keyword matching)
Still searching for jobs and will apply to 2 today.

Trying to still get over the loss of my beloved dog Heidi.   :( :(
And still trying to recover from ConCrud 2.0.  This thing is kicking me. And now others near me have it too.

Macs are horrible at hiding things. Just emptied both caches. Why two? And why are they both hidden? No clue. Now I'm emptying all 16000+ un needed files out of my computer. Would really like to know how to permanently delete cookies. Mac has a window dressing program. You go in. delete all the unwanted cookies. Turn your computer off. Back on and WALA. Most of those cookies are back!

Congratulations on the awards. I am sure it shows long hours of hard work,
and attention to details. 

As usual I am spending the weekend at home.  Here it is

kind of enjoy the fall. Especially if the summer was hot.

FREEZING. Got down low enough to frost the car windows last night.  It's not going to get above 60 today. Tonight it's going to be warmer at 45. And through all of this my heater is not working. Igniter is on the fritz. It's 57 in the house right now. To start with I had to replace my thermostat. The old one was getting wonky. Had to mess with it to get the air conditioner to work right so I knew it needed to be changed out. Hadn't had the heat on yet. So last night after work I decided to turn it on. At first I thought there was something wrong with the new stat. Looks like it'll be a cold weekend for me. Keeping warm with a house coat and sweats. I grew up in a house with no insulation, drafty windows and a single wood stove. So this kinda reminds me of when i was a kid. :)

If worst comes to worst I do have a kerosene heater in the garage. But that's a complete last resort for me. I do not like them in the house. Rather be a bit chilly than smell that all day.

Update on the furnace. I'm not a happy camper right now. I can't complain about the work the folks did when they replaced all the burned out parts of my air conditioner. Replaced my chimney liner and pipe from the furnace to the wall.  And they did say they shut my power and gas to the furnace. That was fine with me. Both the gas shutoff and power is on the side of the unite. However what they didn't tell me was they went inside the unit. Unhooked electrical parts and turned the gas off inside as well. Furnace is running now.

Tuesday: Doctor appointment

Whoever said Malamutes were "working class dogs" certainly told the truth on that aspect.  :P

I seriously want to get away from work, and head into the mountains.  I also want away from people and their stupidity.  If I can I will head to the moon, fewer people there.
Need to get the dog some quality time.

That sounds nice Beag!  Photography can be awesome!  Remember you can share it here if you want.  Posting images here is not that bad.  (Kobuk and myself have written several ways to do it.)


I hope to get away from town a little, maybe drag the dog to mountains?
Also need to buy fence material, to make a...fence.
My neighbor thinks I am never  home and loves to drive through my area 4 times each day.  So My fence, on My property, will help ME!
Hurray for ownership of something.  Took me forever but I finally can say that.

Appeared at the Octagon Barn Festival in MI Thumb region. Toured about an hour in full suit. Welcomed by the festival president. Interviewed by the event announcer. Posed for dozens of photos and got into shenanigans. All on behalf of my hosts. First time in the fursuit for a performance in almost two years.

Tomorrow, I may pop in at the local airport fly-in to see how things are going and to spy on some people.

Awesome Rocket! Sounds like a lot of fun!

Had to work Sat. Was a complete disaster. Had to replace a part on my machine. That part's seal broke and water came pouring out of the motor housing. Then had to clean out the exit water pipe. Wile cleaning the pipe slipped and cracked both an end cap and part of the pipe itself.  Both of these repairs will take hours to complete. Both the actions I took are standard for a machine operator. The damage has to be fixed by maintenance. They are not happy with me right now.

Was it fun?

All model contests I go to are fun. The bigger they are, the more fun I have. Particuarly if there's hundreds of displayed models and the vendor area is really big.
But anyway.........the contest yesterday on a scale of 1-10 was about a 7. It was "nice", but the majority of it was centered around mostly automotive stuff. Model cars are nice, but they just don't hold my attention span that much.  :P

maybe make a pie
maybe, just maybe relax some
pay bills

And mostly I will probably try to find things that I lost during the move to this place.  I keep on discovering that many things I need are just flat out missing.
I do not want family to move me again.  My sister is slightly clepto I think.

I go over to my moms every year for Thanksgiving. Always bring food. This year my mom asked me to "Make something for dessert we've never had before". So this week end I'll be doing a lot of searching and cooking. First thought was Baklava. Then I thought honey roasted chicken gizzards.  Have to admit, never had those before. :) Leaning more towards Baklava and Parmesan ice cream.

 Well... this weekend I managed to pay a few bills, clean house a little.  Got some food, did some things... blah blah.

I also got out my old electric remote control car.  Cleaned it up,  lubed it and got it running really well.   Chased my dog Wanda with it,  which she likes.   Then while diving it to me, to put it away,  hit a small obstacle at low speed and blew it up!

It is 12 years old, so... figures.  Thankfully the company is still in business and has parts!! And they are cheap!  Looks like Wanda will have to wait a few weeks for "her" car to work again.
The things I do for that dog!

Struggling to make the best of my time off before I go back.
Took dog for a walk or two.  Once in -13F weather.  Her paws froze in 2 minutes.  I took her home and put on dog boots.  She was good to go for 30 min.  Have one boot which needs stitching repaired.

Just found out the squeaky squeaky sound in my car is the water pump bearing.   Sigh.  I can do the job.  It's easy.  It's just 75 for parts.  I'm tired of spending money on anything. Idk about much right now. 

My old co-workers's mom died at age 91.  That's very sad. 
So I'm bummed about that and thinking of how time just keeps ticking for us all.   :(

So this weekend I'm essentially wasting time being bummed out.

Replace an A/C on a car.
This is the 3rd one I have done in my life all on different cars.
For those who know, yes it is illegal to VENT a charged system.  But for all 3 I have worked on, they vented themselves when they BLEW UP!
Projected to save over $1000 doing it myself, and that is after buying parts and such.  And with price of cars now, well... makes even more sense for me to fix it.
Shouldn't take more than 3 hours?

Found a video a friend took of me some years ago. I'm singing wile playing a custom built Swamp Witch fretless cigar box guitar. I won this guitar. It was raffled off at a cigar box festival. The song is an original and one of the very few slide guitar songs I made. Recorded about five or six years ago at a builders and players meeting at a blues bar in St Louis Mo. Uploaded it to my small youtube channel. Wanted to share it here as well. Yes, I'm a furry. But I'm not a furry musician. I use my fursona name because it's a great name for a one man singer songwriter. Because it's not furry related thought it best to share here.

Nothing planned for the weekend yet. Car is still in the shop. Really don't want to stack up the miles on this loaner vehicle.

A few more tweaks and adding some finish and my outdoor plein air settup will be complete. Will still take some weeks to get the oil paint palette finished. Built the substrate holder to accommodate 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 inch panels. It will also fit sizes from 5x8 to 11x14. Will still need to build a few panel carriers for both bare and finished paintings.  Even have an old fashioned hard shell roll around suitcase to carry everything in. Most people use back packs. Because I'll never be able to hike into woods or go around streams or rivers the suitcase does me just fine. If I can't find anything to paint from a safe distance I'll make something up. :)

Oatmeal walnut nutmeg,
Chocolate chip
Chocolate mocha with twice the chips, coffee and coco powder.

Kobuk. Been watching reports on this cyclone as well. We're only supposed to get snow on Thursday. They've down grated the amount. However they are rarely right. We could get non or a foot when they call for 1 to 3 inches. My mom and brother are supposed to be here Christmas day. Depending on the weather. I may end up packing the entire meal and going to their place.

cooking a turkey , i forgot the name of the method, it is a hot water bath for hours.  The turkey will be in a boiling bag, only its juices will be in there with some seasoning.
So the turkey will not be water logged or mushy, it will be buttery, seasoned with herbs, and pepper and salt, and in its own turkey fat juices!

down side is it takes like 12-16 hours... but it is LOW heat just 200F.  The meat falls off the bone completely.  I serve it as sections.
I am weird.

Building a set of wood shelves in the basement. I've run out of room and need more. Or I need to stop buying so much stuff. :) And I'm finally taking the time to get back into painting. Doing studies first. Four different ones. Cast studies, with paint, not a pencil. I'm using white material and controlled lighting. Proportion studies. Again with a brush and paint. Continuing the value studies. And Master studies. Master studies are copying a full or portion of a painting done by someone you like. I'll be mainly copying painting by Antoine Bouvard and the Barbazon school of art movement. Just for reference the Barbazon school was the first major movement away from realism. The painters who inspired Monet.

I re anchored a shelving unit in garage.  It was connected to one stud with one screw.  Other screws were in dry wall.  Idiots!! It was ready to fall.

I then erected another heavy duty plastic shelving unit. 

I then fixed up my jeeps seat covers and put new elastic on them.
Washed the covers.  Man they were dirty.
Washed jeep.  Then vacuumed inside and washed windows.  They were covered with dog goooo

Walked dog 10 miles. 
Shoveled driveway.
Cooked dinner
Did laundry
Sealed hard wood floor.
Grocery shopping
Furtopia, bragging I did a lot on the weekend.

I have days where I can do a lot.
But they are rare,  so I do as much as I can, when I can.
Thank you God for this productive weekend.

I either need to become more active in ham radio or just bail on it.

Fixing the pipes under my bathroom sink. Clogged and sprang a leak. Making a 'proofing box'. Because I keep my house on the cool side threw winter I need a warm spot to proof bread dough. Nothing fancy. Be a cardboard box with space enough for a lamp and a bowl for the bread dough.

Looks like I'm getting a plumber for this job. No idea how my father in  law got this to work. I can't. Tighten two threaded ends together without a flange. Perhaps the plumber will have a fix for my 1950's always clogging inside the wall drain pipes as well.

Post by: cause the rat on March 04, 2023, 08:33:08 pm
When all else fails go to youtube. I had no idea there was a thing called a 'trap adapter'. And had no idea there was supposed to be a 1/4 inch slope to all drain pipes. The entire under the sink system is about to be replaced. It's not going to help the in wall drainage problem. That's a 1950's till now issue. Will help the leaking that happens when it does clog.

Looks like my weekend project is going on. Told the guy at Lowe's what I needed. Gave me the wrong size pipe adapter. Now I'm going to have to make another 50 mile round trip to a different store to get the right one. When it's all done it will drain better. And be up to code as well.

I know what I'll be doing this weekend. And I know know why I'll be doing what I'll be doing this weekend. Found out what the problem is with this plumbing project. ME! Yep. I bought the wrong size pipes. The good news is I still have all the usable pipes I took off. I'll still have to find a few things to complete this project. I can't return what i bought. They've all been open and it's plumbing. Someone will eventually need it. Until then all of it will rest nicely in a box in the basement. With the rest of my 'what was I thinking' stuff.

Well I ended up doing yard work, getting my lawn ready. 
It drinks water,  eats fertilizer,  but needs no herbicide or pesticide.  It cold my area,  stores carbon,  keeps dust down,  keeps dog clean,  and is cool to lay on even in hot sunny day.  So it's worth it.

Hopefully I will get to feeling better.  I miss the interactions I've had with other furs here, and in telegram.  But they are all gone. I have to ping people to get any response.  I talk about them and things they like as well as myself.   I'm genuine in my interactions but it gets me no where.  I loved having friends there but if i have to reach out 100% of the time, am i their friend? No.  . My job is coming to an end and I'm not ready for what's next.  Even my dog didn't care I'm alive. 
So maybe if i can get to feeling better ill be happier. But so far this weekend is going to stink

Walked dog in the woods, but it was still 88F and oddly humid. Wanda can't tolerate heat so it was a short walk, too bad it took 2 hours to get there.

Long weekend, not much. Was planning on going places but the events started way to early for someone who goes to bed mid morning. Did pick up the bass guitar for a bit. This is the bass I bought at an auction for $40 a few years back.  Was in really bad shape. Actually looked like someone through it off a moving vehicle. Mostly cosmetic. Had to swap out the tuners and all the electronics. The worst of it was the neck. Took me two weeks to straighten it out. Well, it warped in the same direction again. No where near as bad. But needs to be fixed. Depending on how much of the truss rod ( that's the adjustable steal rod that runs just under the fret board ) has left to move the neck may need to be replaced. Not cheap but something I can do myself.

Still working on that bass guitar. The truss rod was able to straiten most of the warp out. Still have a ways to go. Checked out the prices for new bass guitar necks. I can get a new bass for the same price as a quality neck. I've also came to an important conclusion this weekend. I've just finished up a second experiment. In reality I just changed the molecular structure of two different substances by exposing them to a lethal does of radiation. In my basement. I AM a mad scientist!!!! OK in truth this form of radiation does not have a half-life. Once the energy that causes this form of radiation is terminated only the effects remain.

Cause the Rat. Mad Scientist.

Dude, Cause, if it weren't for the shipping companies freaking,   I could ship you some high grade thorium ore, or if you prefer uranium ore. I may have some old radium and americeium sources floating about.
I'm still attached to these things considering I mined all but the radium /americium stuff myself.  So perhaps I shouldn't have offered.

I know a guy who might be able to get your stuff irradiated by neutrons... for a price. And if my sister still worked at animal hospital,  x-rays would have been a choice.

So when does your experiment gain consciousness and start walking?


This weekend I'm really down.  I do not like life a whole lot anymore.
Everyone I know and care about is old and has something wrong.   I miss my old dogs.   I hate work.   I hate this ugly conservative crap hole of a town.  I miss my old stomping grounds. And to be honest it really feels no one cares if I'm alive or loves me etc.  I'm lonely and I almost never get lonely.  My dog doesn't even really care about me.  Eeverything I do is of no consequence.  What's the point.
So I get to go to work tomorrow and literally have to deal with a snot nosed overbearing demanding micro manager boss. I wish he would dry up.

Thanks for the offer Jame. I prefer my radiation without a half life.  :D Despite both experiments being successful neither will be getting up and walking any time soon. I'm running the first intended use experiment now on the second main experiment. So far so good.

More experiments. Keep trying until something fails.  :D I promise to put up a separate post AFTER I see how the patents end up. Really Really REALLY hoping all of this isn't a wast of time. I'd rather have all my I's dotted and T's crossed before I spend $$$ for a patent lawyer and the research it takes to see if this has been done before.

The only other thing I have planned for the weekend is watching football. Kinda nice to have a relaxing few days.

Taking my mom and brother out to eat. Running two more experiments with the same stuff. Every time I think I'm done I find something else that needs to be answered. Every new answer I get makes me happier.

There was a lever actually!! And things that sounded and sort of looked like high voltage.  But no high voltage.
I haven't dabbled in high voltage for over 15? Years?
At that time I was doing 30 to 50KV DC stuff.  Almost died. Got burned bad and stopped.  Just pin point burns, but very painful. 
When you discharge 50KV capacitor of 1uF, it's loud BTW.

Went to an auction this morning. Newbe auction service and man you could tell it. Totally unprepared and really uncomfortable behind the microphone. Did the newbe mistake all morning long. Start the bidding where you want it to be instead of letting the crowd decided where they want to go. Somehow I ended up buying an entire lot of things. Mostly junk. Had to make a few trips to bring it home. All I wanted was one box of old Christmas stuff. After getting it all home I tossed a lot of it. Some of it will be donated. Some will go on Ebay. Ended up selling one box to a guy for the same price I paid for the entire lot. So I got what I wanted for free.

Wile walking around before the event I talked to a few folks there. Quite a few of them were there for the same reason I was. To see what kind of auctioneers they were going to be. Newbe mistakes didn't overshadow some of the more important things.  There were a lot of important things they did right. I'll be back.

Attended a local furmeet, but arrived late. It was to originate at a popular holiday-themed store/mall and the place was full by the time I arrived. So I moved on to town for the fursuit walk to the cobblestone marketplace where it started last year, but saw no one there in a fursuit. Moved on to the restaurant where there was to be a lunchtime gift exchange--another non-event. Drove up to the Taco Bell on the Main Street hoping to glimpse any furries in the crowds, had lunch, then returned through the town--not spotting any.

Went home with my $20 gift card, having taken a few dozen photos, and having observed a bald eagle soaring above the parking lot of a famous restaurant. Later discovered that there were less than a half-dozen attendees.

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

 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.  :D 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.

After the fact.  What  I did...

Walked doggo.  Walked myself too. At the same time in fact!

Found a poor fuel injector on vehicle and replaced it. It was causing a few random misfires.

Spent 2 hours in a snow covered junkyard trying to find an electrical connector for my transmission gear range indicators.   Turns out,  everyone who goes there uses battery powered saws to cut out what they want and they damage everything else.!!!

They damage not only wires but mechanical things.   Last time I will go there for anything!!!  And it costs $5 to get in and you pay for what you remove.

 :goldpissed:

Did you know each electrical connector in your vehicle can cost around$100 each new?????

I had to dig deep and fork out the dough.  Got my connector ordered. 

I got some much needed food.  Did house chores.   
Watched the bride of Frankenstein on TV while snacking.

Washed car.
Paid bills

Basically nothing important goes on here.
I'm as interesting as drying paint
