PSA #364

I have stepped down from being a moderator on OccultForums. I was not very active there as of late and plan on being much less active in the near future. I am also sick of the favoritism and drama...

I may still show up now & again to see how things are going, but I no longer want to be associated with the staff there, as staff.

LJ is for the birds

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 18:46:21 GMT

I don't like *chirp chirp* birds because they *chirp chirp chirp* are *chirp chirp* simply too *chirp* noisy. They stress *chirp* me out and *chirp chirp* wake me up too *chirp* early in the *chirp chirp chirp* morning.

Something similar *loads loads* has kept me from *loads loads* posting on LJ *loads loads loads* and is making me like it less *loads* and *loads* less.

Hey basic users.... bugger off!

This is the house that Q built

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 22:51:04 GMT

Ya know that fort I've been wanting to build since like before October? Well, it's finally almost done.

I like SO built it myself, lol. You should come over and play in it with me. It's constructed out of $100 worth of discounted wood plus like a bunch of stuff I found out behind the barn lol. It's really safe... trust me.

It's not done yet though... I still need to put a roof on it, as well as a few more pieces of railing. Then eventually I may paint it, but my budget is dried up, so that may have to wait a bit yet...

If you look at the slanted red thing, it's actually railing on it's side/angled. It was Cyndi's idea to use as a ladder. I really liked the notion of it, and the slant gives something easy to climb, and reduces the risk of outright falling...

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:33:19 GMT

Remember back in October when I got money from helping my Mother move, and some cash for my birthday. I was planning on building a fort. Well, I have it partially standing up now!

Not the greatest, and FAR from complete... but it certainly is useable at the moment. It still needs the second floor, flooring attached, as well as some extra walls for the court yard part... but the main four corners are up, and the flooring is resting on it.

Things left to complete.
* The main roofing
* Cut and attach flooring
* Court Yard walls
* Supports
* Railings for second floor

I'm also thinking that I may increase the size of the second floor, which will increase the main floor housing part of it as well. The second floor is currently only 4ft by 4ft...and as I have a workable 4x8 sheet of sturdy plywood, I think I may do that... however that may mean I'll need to re-work some of the outter (courtyard) floor plans... but it should work. However, I'll run out of cornering 4x4s so may need to resort to using some of the antenna pieces I have (which are a bit more unsightly, but still safe enough.

Once I get all of that done, I'll be saving up some more cash to get some green outdoor carpeting to floor the second story, and maybe some paint...

My Red Rider BB Gun (OK, ok, it's a crossman)

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 21:41:19 GMT

I grew up in the city so I never got a chance to have a BB gun...until now that is!

Heh, I get a kick outta playing with things like this now that I am surrounded by nothing but hills, horses, and wood...

Why did I get it? Well, two reasons really, one because I never had one, kinda always wanted one, and now that I have one I can shoot that god damned dog that has been killing my chickens for sport. If it wants a sport, I'll show it one! Though, meh... a BB gun is les then leathal, but should give the bitch a start enough to maybe not want to return. Of course, if it does return, then I'll have to resort to borrowing th neighbors shotgun (with buckshot).

At any rate, I'm getting to be a pretty good shot...

Of course I have missed a few...

Where oh where has my Butters gone...

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:04:59 GMT

A couple of nights ago there was a ruckus outside. I got up and ran to the chicken coop thinking that something was trying to get to them. Cletus was on my heels to investigate as well. He found the trouble before I did and nipped it in the butt. There was a dog in the yard, but likely not after the poultry... I think he was after the cats.

But not just any cats... my Butters! My timid kitty that I brought down from Michigan. We had to put her outside because she would rather hide under the couch and poop then chance confronting another cat on the way to the little box. She often seemed more content outside, so I was happy and she was happier.

Now it's been a day and a half since I've seen or heard from her, yet I still hope for the best. She, at times, has changed hiding places from one stop to the next, and I am hoping this is one of those times.

She does not meow when I call for her. This is not new, so finding her that way can be hard.
She prefers being hidden, so I can not see her. This too is not all that new.
She will stay in her place for days on end... so I can not hear or see her.

The trouble does not lie with me thinking she was eaten by a dog. The trouble lies with me simply not knowing where she is. Each move she made in the past was followed by me hunting her down so I knew where to feed her at.

I will keep the faith that she is still out in the yard someplace... hiding.

Of all the spices on my rack, I like me the lease o_O

You Are Oregano

You have are charming, funny, witty, and smart.

You love to party - and people love to party with you.

You are always friendly and warm. You are able to help people get along.

What Spice Are You?

Of all of the questions there was not a single one I would have actually answered from the choices given. Which, IMHO, means the test is very flawed...

I like "american" food the best ~ pizza & Burgers!

I've traveled out of the country twice, but am FAR from well traveled.

*sigh*

I think I'm Basil, lol.. cuz I simply like that the best.

A weekend of high adventure!

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 15:34:19 GMT

Shannon & Tim had their annual vacation (alone) so we got Lakota mid-day on Friday till mid-day today (monday). All was good though, well, other then the pure excitement from Perrin when they arrived. I had to take a breather outside alone while they played and screamed.... For the better part, Friday was rather uneventful.

Saturday however, was filled with much fun. I got up, played on the net till I had my fill of coffee, then went out to eat where I got the once again steal a lemon!

After that we came back and rode our bikes all over the yard, including the back and front fields. Here is Lakota working her way to the Pond. We parked the bikes by Twocan Tree (it's magickally protected to keep the bikes safe) and made our way around the back side of the pond, then up the side field. I called Hazel (the neighbors) and got permission to make it over into their fields as well. We made it all over our yard and theirs over the next two days, finding high adventure, hiding from Helicopters, and invisible terror-dactyls.

We also found several tracks...
Cletus
Deer
Bigfoot (really?!?)
and random monsters (monster track one, monster track two)

We named several of the places around the yard as well...
Twocan Tree, which is near Twocan Gorge, where cletus stayed at the top... It's over 6 foor deep at one point, and travels down to where Lakota had to cross over the muck and mud.

We made it to the furthest corner of the yard to see where the properties met. We named it "Fourth Corner Tree" which is near Fourth Corner Creek. One of the ways you can get there, is to cross over another brook near Annebelle Pond (which is not the big pond, more like a random large puddle). Once that is crossed you must then climb up a small incline and follow a horse trail which enters the wood along TwistKnob Trail (Twistknob trail marker)

On the other side of the yard, where we spent most of the time, we had to cross over Tweofalls Bridge, which is a neat root that crosses the branch between two small falls.

There were other names and places that we happened across, but those are the only ones with images...
Prickery Trail, which leads to the beginning of the creek which crossed through to the pond. (the direct route to Fourth Corner)
Dead Mans Walk (it's marked by a skeleton & briars) and is the long way to reach the Fourth Corner.

We spent Saturday night in a tent near the fire, but only after we had Vickey & Norm over for some hot dogs & marshmallows.

To a certain someone...

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:29:25 GMT

Someone on my flist has been having a few medical issues that he seems rather unconcerned over. That in and of itself has me a bit worried, what worries me more though is the fact I've not seen him post today...

I look forward to hearing that the big lug is a-ok.

Netflix & Northern Exposure

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 13:26:59 GMT

Cyndi and I are members of Netflix. We each have our own queue so we get to pick the movies that we want. Recently I have been getting one Julie Andrews movie after another and am VERY happy, as she is a simply splendid person...

Cyndi however is getting an old TV series, Northern Exposure. It's a real hoot! While I never really watched it while it was on primetime, I look forward to getting her next disc in the mail. We just started season three, and up till now there has been 2 episodes per disc. Watching the two takes about an hour and a half. Fun times, fun times... Last night however, there was a 3rd episode which put us watching TV till a bit after 10. When the credits rolled again I hit [NEXT] and viola, another episode! Hehe... 4 episodes I think may be a bit much, as I was losing interest. But we watched all 4!

It was very nice, and it was quality time. Unlike most other movies we watch, this one was, for the most part, watched together, as we snuggled on the couch.

I look forward to disc two (of season three).

Emo

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:36:29 GMT

EMO is much more then a mindset, it’s a lifestyle. LOL. Ya just gotta love these people, all quasi-goth/punks but much, much sadder. I remember back in the day (mid-80’s) when I used to actually like the emocore type music, but rather then sticking to that I got into the harder music that punk had to offer. Still though, I hung out with a few emo kids on and off throughout school. Once I graduated I mostly got out of the punk scene all together, and lost touch with those kids. Now when I look at Emo it’s changed a lot, as now it’s more of an Indie style of life…not all that much to my liking, though I still do enjoy some of it, sometimes.

I have ran into a few old friends that seem to still be into that type of thing, though, heh, I am unsure if they would want to be called Emo or not… but that does not really matter, as I met up with them again in a Hot Topix…so if the label fits, dress it up in black and wear it.

At any rate, I stumbled across one of them again, this time online. They are hanging out on a site called The Emo Bucket. They have pix up in the galleries there (but I’m not telling you which friend it was :P ) maybe you can check it out… heh, gotta love them emo hairstyles.

A day without water

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:55:50 GMT

I had a NICE shower last night, but not till after I...

I took a VERY hot Shower on Friday, so I knew that the weekend would likely not be all that grand. I was right, by the end of the day, the water heater was out. Saturday we rushed around to get all the laundry done, just in case fixing it took longer then expected. Sunday, after doing dishes with water heated on the stove, I turned the water off...

Once the water was off, I turned the power to the water heater off, and drained the pressure of the thing. I then got to draining it out. It's a looooong process as the drain off valve is generally at least partially blocked with the Calcium/lime/rust build up. So I build a canal out of foil and taped it under the heating element. You can kind of see that here:

I then slowly took the element out to allow extra water to escape... of course the flow was a bit much so I got some all over the floor *sigh* I sopped that up with a towel and squeezed it into a bucket.

Once it was all drained out I took the element the rest of the way out, and replaced it with the new one.

Well, before I could replace it, I had to trudge all the goop and build up out of the bottom of the water heater. It looks a lot like oatmeal... heh, which is something I'll not be eating for a while.

I set the new element in, and turned the water on. I didn't have the thing set just right and had some leakage, so I had to return to step 8 of the instructions and once again drain the thing, and reset the new seal & filter *sigh* I got water everywhere, and had to sop it up into a bucket...

While I was doing this, Cyndi was kind enough to find a few tips that may allow us to not need to replace the element yearly... though, this'll mean we go without water once a month as I slowly drain out the water from the water heater...which is supposed to let the smaller bits of build up out so it wont actually build up.

Sleeping like an angel...

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:50:28 GMT

Perrin is sometimes cute when he sleeps... take yesterday for instance. He was sleeping on his back hugging his stinky bear upside down as he always does. On Cyndi's desk I saw the camera and just had to get a picture...but me walking into the room perked his little ears up a bit so I missed a good shot... but I did get a little clip to share.

If you were wondering where I get my good looks from...

Nah, not really... though I do get them from my mother's side of the family. They say that I look like my great grand parents. Me next to my actual parents makes me look adopted.

Update from the Qtube

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 03:09:30 GMT

Its been far too long since I've given a good update on the little guy I hang out with all day. It's certainly not for a lack of interaction, as we play, watch TV, and share the chair well over half of my day (nap excluded)... it's just I've not been talking about him.

Well, I guess things go in cycles, and this cycle can be considered on.

A few days ago, I got a cute video of him. You NEED to check him out: http://www.vimeo.com/632702

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 13:48:56 GMT

There is no better food in the world, though your backside may disagree the next day. We made another pot of it over the weekend, what should have been enough for several days... though, heh, it was of course gone within 24 hours. I suspect that is due to the toxicity of the mixture in that it evaporates as it eats through the pan. I mean, there is just no way I could have eaten thee bowls for dinner and then sat in the livingroom complaining about being bloated and gassy...

Crafts: For the birds

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:39:47 GMT

A few weeks ago I was at hobby Lobby and they had their wood crafts on sale so I grabbed a few bird houses so that I could paint them and give them away for Christmas. I didn't happen to get to them before then though so they sat around here till yesterday...

Lakota & I spent several hours with some markers, some colored wooden pieces, and a little bit of glue to make the two houses you see above. They are not completely finished though, as both need a clear coat of paint so that the colors will not bleed. I'll eventually get to that before spring ;)

Guys and Dolls

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:58:20 GMT

We picked up Lakota Friday evening and kept her all weekend long. We didn't do all that much Friday as it was getting late, but we did talk about what we'd be doing the rest of the time. Rather then bore you with what was said, I'll just go on and say what was done...

Saturday we made a doll together. Lakota did a fantastic job sewing things together, and while I did help, she did a lot of it making the doll we made, the doll she made. We named the little thing Lisa Ashley P. and this is how she looks:

Later Saturday we headed out to Cleavland for some crablegs and then to the Hobby Lobby to get some more crafting supplies. I'll get into that in another post... When we got home Lakota made a small quilt for Lisa...

Nothing to update.

Tue, 08 Jan 2008 18:02:48 GMT

Someone recently said that I don’t update my journal enough, and well, they are likely correct, accept now that I am wanting to update here more, I simply do not have a lot to say *sigh*

I was going to post something yesterday, one of those random update posts that I do now & again just to get everyone up to speed on things… as if things are moving fast here, but I got this MASSIVE headache so just didn’t do it. Today though I’m feeling much better so all is swell.

Perrin has been a hoot as of late and we’ve been watching Monsters all day today, accept for that brief moment of him not wanting a nap and me wanting a few moments without Sully and Mike helping Boo. I won of course because I am bigger *growl* so he is napping… something that I really would have liked for him to of done yesterday while my head was throbbing.

At one point today I was leaving a sacrificial log to the porcelain goddess the phone rang. Not much I could do because I was right in the middle of my Morning Ritual #2 so I just let it ring…but it did not ring for long. Perrin got on the phone and told whoever it was that he was watching monsters and had to get back to it and hung up. A bit later we set him up so that he’d answer for Cyndi. I was in the room the first time and he just handed the phone to me. The second time he answered it because I left the room. We tried it again, but I think he caught on to the trick, as he just called my name over and over for me to get it. It was cute to say the least.

I’ve not brought up Lakota in a while as she has not been over here in what seems like weeks. She broke her arm for Xmas, so she has been home with that I suppose, but I would like to get her over here as I have some crafting ideas I’d like to do. I guess I’ll give an update on that when it happens.

Norm (my step-pop) is in the hospital due to some strange belly issues that has him tied up to tubes and what not. Not the greatest of things, but they say he should be well in no time… well, no time after when ever they get around to fixing him.

Cyndi & I are doing FANTASTIC, I took up quilting, and will eventually get an image or two up on it. We’ve spent several evenings now watching this or that on TV and sewing. It’s nice. It’s peaceful. It’s relaxing…and I’m making the ugliest quilt in the world, so I look forward to it’s completion. It’ll be a living room quilt for me to lay on the floor with the critters. YAY 4 PET HAIR!

I have been posting more on the forums for those that have noticed. I plan on posting some more as well… there are a few threads I’d like to get started as time permits. I also have a few page ideas to add to my site. So stay tuned to my Q-Blog for updates on that.

Other then that, not much is happening.
