Day 15
Inspiration : Mrs. Peacock
[The background story]
Thinking about the prompt I started thinking about colors of a peacock and green instantly came to mind. Then I thought about animals and I remembered these photos from the zoo and our recent trip to Texas with a fun story. Voila. Not much for the actual peacock, but a great starting point!

"some time ago jon & i got hooked on the tv show : the big bang theory. in one of our favorite episodes, sheldon mentions his "koala smile" which is easily identifiable. when we were in texas at the zoo, we couldn't help but stop at the koala walkabout [where koalas were EVERYWHERE!] and try our hand [face?] at a koala smile. our smiles made eachother laugh & they were more koala face than simply smile. i am so happy that we found eachother and can be completely SILLY with one another! he always knows how to make me smile - real, genuine smiles - not just koala smiles. love our adventures, love him. 5.15.13 :)"

Loading were down on Saturday but still great to have a fair number on the bus and getting a few hours on the clock to expose any adjustments and tinkering required.
Day 23
Inspiration : Candlestick
Somehow when I first saw the prompt I thought of the candles that I love to burn and why I like them...mainly because of their fragrance. So...I went with that in a somewhat similar way.

Newcastle, Australia is a large coal loading port. There is some magnificent machinery that takes the coal from the heap and via a series of conveyer belts get it to the ships that line the coastline waiting to be filled. This is one such beastie that I managed to snap just on sunset yesterday. It is difficult to get into a decent position to get a shot as the whole area is security fenced and there is not that many places to pull over on the very busy road that runs by the facility. I'll just have to do some more recon work and sort it out!
It took a superhuman effort to get my sewing machine out but I did it! One more day to go. . . .

I am going to finish my 5th child's album through load this month all the while trying to apply the daily promps. In this layout I am in the center of the layout. Also, the song I would choose would have to be -- the theme song to Chariots of Fire.
Only half done sorry ladies! I have run out of time today and need to head in to work the night shift. I am stuck on a title. Suggestions? This page is for the 2012 Annual Alberta Police and Peace Officer Memorial on Sept 29.
Supply roll-up, project #5, all open and ready to be rolled! This project took me over 5 hours to do! I had to figure out a way to have two pockets with different divisions. It was a good brain-workout! Difficult, but worth the results! :)
Used to be the old Lowe's store. They moved but all their signs are still here.
Ted - You don't know what I went through to get these photos.
If I continue posting on this site, think you are going to have to see that I get hazardous duty pay.
You can read some of the story on my blog.
Crews load explosives into drill holes for rock blasting.
To excavate the rock required to widen the interstate, the contractor has the option to blast Monday through Thursday evenings near the Lake Keechelus Snowshed (milepost 58) until October.
Day Five
Ordinarily, I'd be all about the texture...goodness knows I've got more embossing folders than I know what to do with. However, today was just different...I took a different approach.
The grid-style seems to be working recently, so I'm back at it again.
Same size as the others, 6.5 x 11.

"It only took a ping pong ball & a fishbowl at the local church festival - & Jon & I won ourselves a pair of fish! We named them Jager & Meister. We took a midnight run to WalMart to get a bowl & fish food. We loved them for an entire week. However, our out of town trip resulted in a fish casualty. They lasted six days longer than expected. :)"

The local trains around Birmingham, UK have annoying TV screen that show news and adverts, but one day, they couldn't load their shared libraries and just had errors.
Country Music
[My plan is to rescan the past 7 days of layouts in tomorrow, so please forgive yet another horrible cell phone picture. Blah!!!]
Journaling reads:
"I always thought country music was about the neighbor's dog stealing your wife...tunes that only people out in the styx would listen to, or relate to. Never once did I think country music would come to mean so much to me. A summer full of sunny days and loud music. The chance to be the first car in the parking lot...ready for some serious tailgating. The opportunity to be caller number 9 on a local radio call-in contest...winning tickets & meeting a country star [Justin Moore]. Building jenga towers and being the envy of all tailgaters and concert-goers. Being THISCLOSE to Tim McGraw as he rocked out. Having meaningful lyrics that perfectly tell our love story...roadtrips around the state. Getting ON STAGE to take photos at the HOB. Giant jenga down. Discovering a secret love of ice cold budlight. Seats reserved at standing-room-only shows. I never imagined any of this...and now, I won't listen to anything else. 2-7-12"

Health of the 12v battery in my Chevy VOLT is critical to a problem free operation so I decided to periodically load test it.
This is the Suner Power digital load tester I bought on Amazon. I wanted my own measurement capability so I can test from time to time.
