"Até que enfim!!!"
Regresso com algo que nem parece meu... Esta série de 4 fotos foi tirada da minha janela durante uma "exibição" de umas quantas andorinhas que estavam mesmo a fazer-se à fotografia... :)))
And now I'm back with something completely different... This series of 4 photos was taken from my window, when a few swallows were just begging to be photographed... :)))
i've only had this splinter in my thumb for 2 days, but it got infected and hurt like hell. tonight i went out and bought some tweezers, some hydrogen peroxide, and some neosporin. i used my stove to sanitize my nail scissors and cut into the wound, cleaned it with the hydrogen peroxide, then dug out the splinter with the tweezers. wrapped up by slathering the cut with neosporin and band-aiding it. sweet relief!
The past few weeks I have been working my feet to the bone. I plan events for a trade organization and it's been non-stop for several days preparing for a golf tournament. Yesterday, that event went off without a hitch and at the end of the day my poor little tootsies were toast. Today, I kicked up my heels, pampered my piggies with some shiny new polish, and soaked up some well deserved relaxation. Tomorrow...these toes will be once again on the go. (There's so many great nicknames for our feet. Help me out...what are some others?)
After two days of freezing rain, the sun finally came out this afternoon around 1:30 or so. The ice looked like glass shining out in the yard. I couldn't get a picture of how really pretty it was...
I purchased a used book at a sale a couple of years ago, and have finally got round to opening it.
Inside I found this photograph. Written on the back in black pen it says:
"Mom & Dad,
Peace to you both this Christmas
Love,
Doug"
Finally over all colds, flues, and general illness. Motivated by getting things done.
If I owe you a Shaybelle dress it's on it's way soon!!!
Not a very good photo, but just wanted to post for those Flickr friends that follow "MY DEER" that usually show up in winter months. This year they are a little late. There were four this day..... about the 3rd time I've seen them. This one stopped to eat an ear of corn the squirrels left behind, so I had time to grab the camera. She looks young......
Finally finished it's 2 week "safe" wait and I got to polish/wax it up. I should've put it in the sun to show off the candy, but oh well. Still looks freakin sexy :)
And don't think I just put the good ones up top for the picture. The Incredible Mr. Limpet was in there too!
Finally got a chance to fly with decent weather. Though, as you can see, the clouds were on their way across the lake.
Only had a second to snap one shot over my shoulder as the sun started to sneak behind the clouds beyond the Muskegon Lake channel.
Ever since I was a kid I dreamt of taking a backpacking trip where I’d primitive camp. I think the NCT Hike 100 Challenge really helped in finally making it happen. I was able to spend my first night in the woods while hiking the NCT and shared that special moment with my brother and nephew. I’ve often felt like I haven’t accomplished much in my life. I wasn’t sure that I could finish this either but I really wanted to try. Working out the logistics of driving out to the trail, figuring out childcare and sometimes dealing with knee pain after some of the longer hikes made it more of a challenge but it was totally worth it! I always feel so alive and at peace in the woods. Going to the woods feels like going home. As I took my last steps on my 100th mile I can’t explain how satisfying it felt. I did it! I’m hoping that whenever I see my patch I’ll remember the satisfaction and be brave enough to try more things. Thank you for the opportunity to make these memories. I'll be back next year!
Domo: Santa, Finally! did you get my list?
-silence-
Domo: Santa, Santa, Santa
Me: I don't think he's real Domo.
Domo: What Santa's not real!
Me: No I didn't mean that. I think this is a statue...
Domo: Don't scare me like that again S!
Finally after what seemed like an hour it got the washer and truss rod nut out. But wait.... That nut isn't stripped out! After picking on the nut I discovered that the nut was filled with GLUE!. So I got ahold of it with a gripper and it came out....eventually. So what was the real problem here? Long story short.... the nut WAS NEVER THREADED ONTO THE TRUSS ROD FROM THE FACTORY!!!
I cleaned out the hole so the nut would have a little more play and it threaded on beautifully and the neck adjusted perfect!
