Nite, Conor!

Thanks for all you do for our troops! (((hugs)))

Thankya Kathy!

Feeling better but now so far behind, I have worked 3 - 12 hour days. I need a week off.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Idaho...((HUGS))...quite the find, Fredd.

Even tho he is on a leash, sounds like he is getting plenty of exercise and enjoying the runs. He’s a water dog!!

It seems like it took forever for the snow to melt, but it seemed to warm up early. It’s been making it into the 60s of late; and really dry. We need lots of rain.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I got to see the full moon last night....maybe again tonight.

Good evening, Luv. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, yarddog...the photographers are up close and personal recording the conflicts.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for the tributes to our troops. *HUGS*

Did you have a good commute today? How is the “schooling” going?

Red flag alerts everywhere here right now. We need rain!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...record anything today? Lessons?

Lynn-Dah doing well?

[Kathy in Alaska]

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present. Thank you for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Pneumonia is not a fun thing...don’t relapse. Rest!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home...back in a bit.

[left that other site]

Oh my, yes...I spent the entire morning and most of the evening under the cans.

I recorded four original songs with:
2 tracks of drums(stereo)
2 tracks piano(stereo
bass
rhythm guitar
lead guitar
lead vocal
Back-up vocals

I also taught three girls and put 49 miles on my car.

Unfortunately the cans(headphones) were awful and kept cutting out. i ordered some new ones but I couldn’t wait so i endured the crackling and dropouts, knowing that it was just the headphones and not the recording.

I did rough mixes, but I want to record some more songs before doing the final mix so they will be consistant from track to track.

Lynn-dah just cuddles up and keeps my feet warm while i am doing this. LOL.

[ColdOne]

No I walk with him and run him with out a leash. I leash him up because he has been running off and wolves are in town. the Fudge was the final straw.

I put him on the leash right after we wake up then we walk. I leash him up then run him.

[ColdOne]

He used to stay in the yard and not roam. But spring is here and chipmonks tempt him so I put him on a leash. I hate to do it. I hope to find a wireless fence for him at some point. Money is tight.
