When it sounds like one of these…

full of these…

and then it decides to do one of these…

… needless to say, a computer laying by its dish is not a pretty sight, and it sure screws up my life! But then again, it’s continuing to breathe long enough to get most of my files out. So yes, there is a Dog.

Onward… ignore those bombers and fighter planes flying overhead…

From the maxair2air.com site with some great photos of the 2005 Wings of Freedom Red Wing show (check the one where they’re scoping out the river — it’s gotta be by the Prairie Island nuclear plant!)

Prevailed on the mold house… whew! It’s been a long week…

Little Bro’ David always sends photos, he’s a self-described dyslexic boob who can’t write, except at a keyboard he’s actually always good for a hoot or snort, anyway, some days it’s transmission towers in the desert, other days it’s a backhoe and bobcat and huge pumps he’s fixing at the resort. Today he and Kim went to Oatman and it’s jackasses on parade… no, she’s not in the photos! Maybe it’s a political statement, he hung out with Kelly Doran for Governor as a kid.

Here’s the most recent digging in the dirt photos – the latest project (something tells me the date is off on the camera) at Islander RV Resort. He keeps asking me if I want a job, I guess they need somebody to haul the dirt away, but he’s got a CDL too. Maybe he wants me to set up cabanas or put boats in the water — I know he won’t let me chase coyotes with the golf cart, that’s HIS job.

The internet was down, and down again, the cold water for the tub and toilet wasn’t working — froze up somewhere in the crawl space, and my old boiler just can’t get it up or maybe the house has sprung some new leaks… Sure, my car starts, but it’s a Mitsu 3 Diamond Diamond, of course it’ll start, but I can’t get started, need a total back replacement…

I HATE MINNESOTA WINTERS!

So I spend hours on the phone with “Tech Support” and get a new modem (hmmmm… it invariably goes out after posts on the CD2 list), and put a fan into the crawl space up against the possum proof fencing, check the gauges and add some water, bleed the radiators, and vacuum them for good measure… and office in the St. James Hotel … working, yeah, that’s it… working… I want a mango tree in the back yard, a house with a view like this, a GREEN view, color and nuclear free! Like this! Or this… and if I had $$$$$…

PreKatrina, I’d focused on N’awlins after a February visit a few years ago, trees in bloom with flowers and beads hanging, and Ross Currier’s post was a great reminder of how important it is to preserve. Tipitina’s has a Foundation and an Artists’ Relief effort. Ross was suprised that Charles Long’s talk went “from rice cultivation to The Meters” but get a grip, all roads lead to the Meters… so CLICK HERE AND WARM UP.

Sheila died today. She was Linda’s favorite, Linda Hanson of “World Organization for Landowner Freedom” in the Arrowhead transmission case. Sheila’s liver had failed, and the Hanson’s kept her comfortable as long as they could. There’s two of Sheila’s pups still with their family, here’s my favorite, Angel, a beautiful shep:
