I put my dog out on his cable run yesterday. It was cool, but not that bad. But you would've thought I was beating him. He cried like a baby for 15-20 minutes...
(He thinks he's a lap cat)
Thanks. At least I've got it where I can average less than 2000 words a day. I've gotten to the point where I just keep the fingers moving and see what kind of crap comes out. But now I've found out that my shifty guy is shiftier than expected and now I have to insert prior scenes to make the story plausible.
Hm...I don't think I like "real" funk, then. "Annie" is probably about the weirdest of Slainte Mhath's songs. Some of their tune sets are downright traditional! But I like the weird stuff, too. They're obviously having tons of fun with it!
I love mine.
I have to keep reminding myself that this year's project was the siding. There are so many things I want to do or have done.
Jr. said if Nana was moving in with us (probably next spring) he wanted to move to the attic. I'd love to rennovate it for him, it runs the full length of the house. But our heating vents are in the ceilings in the upstairs rooms, so that would all have to be re-done. I told him "sure, let me scrounge up about $100,000 and we'll get right on it..."
Nope, next year it's taking out oak trees (trust me g'nad, our property backs up to woods, the deer won't starve), repairing the boys fort (where one of those oak trees dropped a limb on it), putting in a shower downstairs for my mother-in-law (arthritis won't let her climb the stairs) and fencing in the back yard for the dog and boys...
Y'all can remind me about that list this time next year when I'm whining about not turning the garage into a family room or putting the Florida room on the back of the house...
looks like a cool place for theboyz to play...
Yuh know Corin, I may just log a few (no more than 5) for the cash for a garage... and clear another food plot... ;o)
ouch... how bad is the damage?...
I took just plain sheets of plastic that you get at Lowes and trimmed it to fit each long window. Then I edged it with a double helping of duct tape, to reinforce it when I stapled through it. Then Steve put the trim back up to reinforce it even more.
All it has to do is stay up through this winter!! Then, we put the windows in!
Here is another picture of it. As you can see, it has ceiling fans even...it's very nice.
gotta run... the barometric pressure is droppin, and the deer are callin' me...
'bout $400 per tree. I'm 'specting to drop about $2,000 and that won't get all of 'em...just the most dangerous ones.
You don't have to feel guilty. You had a lot going this month that took priority.
Now...NEXT year we're gonna hold your toes to the fire until you type every word...
I'd have to see if the DVD Rom for that system is still available though. I'm not going to bother with a DVD burner because the technology isn't really there yet, but I can watch DVDs when hubby monopolizes the TV! LOL!!
Well, hopefully by next year I will have finished this story as well as have a good first draft on the one I've been working on for a few years....but NO promises!
Most of ours are pretty strong, but we lost a lot of branches due to the drought, so I'm not sure how healthy these trees are. A good ice storm could be a problem.
