The first picture is of my niece & nephew playing catch on the front steps of my house on the older's birthday. A random and rather cool thing... in the top left side you can see one of the window screen frames is tweaked outwards. A couple of birds, sparrows or finches, have constructed a nest on the sill behind the screen, and it's got 5 eggs in it now!!! They don't seem to sit on 'em much. Bet it's gonna be noisy when they hatch!!!
In my last post I commented on Janice's battery having died. I charged it up, and it occurred to me that another problem she'd developed recently was the power antenna wasn't extending & retracting properly. I'd thought nothing of it at the time, but upon recharging the battery, it occurred to me that could be an issue. Before I fully installed the battery, I tried a test light, and sure enough it glowed a dull orange. Yanked the fuse for the antenna (and a half dozen other circuits) and out it went!!! I diagnosed the problem under the fuse box cover, and fixed it under the trunk lid!!!
Next picture is when we went for a hike on Memorial day. Fairly straight up the side of the hill. I was a bit achey the next day. Thought I was in better shape than that!!!
Have you seen the show "Miami Medical"??? One of the characters is named "Dr. Proctor". Every time I hear it, I think he should be a butt doctor.
I've noticed that my work has left off the tradition of the Thursday before payday as being axing day.
Picture #3 is also on the birthday, my sister & mother in our front room. Yes, I do have a giant slide rule in my front room. Try & contain your jealousy.
The stack of pennies was on the younger boy's birthday pictures. I know it wasn't on the same day. I estimate about fifty cents there.
I was battling bronze dragons in Runescape the other night, and after a dozen or so, one of 'em finally killed me. I want my money back for that crappy Ring of Life I was wearing!!!
Next shot is of several of the boys' cars and various other toys. I picked 'em up when I was sweeping the steps & arranged them so. Yes, that is a brachiosaurus in the back right, holding a dismembered arm. Ironically, brachiosaurus literally means "arm lizard", and I didn't even know that until just now when I wiki'ed to find out how to spell brachiosaurus!!!
Next shot is of the younger boy, on the older's birthday, showing off where he got tagged with a loquat during the loquat war. It'll leave a mark!!! If you look close (or click on it to see it enlarged) it looks like he's got a loose string pointing it out!!!
In addition to the giant slide rule, my older boy dragged home an overhead projector. It can double as a search light.
Last shot is of a hawk on the Memorial day hike. 'Ol Olympus still gots it!!!
