I roll my own books, now. Learning to bind books was fun, and freeing. Any size, any cover, any paper!

Sending all my love, Norm.

I draw/paint/make every day.

Cheers! It took me a moment, and then I laughed. I am truly amongst my people, here. :)

Twin turbo shark, at that!

A lovely time. :d

Bruh. You cannot be curmudgeonly and mention Wii Sports in the same rant. :D

All three parts, together. Whee!

Still life, with poops.

You all are amazing. Amazing.

Daughter is doing quite well. Just about back to speed, and feeling herself.

Honestly, I think the ordeal has been harder on me than her. It was mostly the months...

Approximately 6 miles worth of wheelies (and only 3 or 4 loop outs!), and my mental state is much better than this time yesterday.
I just stopped and dropped the steed in the dirt to take...

Wellllll…

The price of cheese will go crazy!

What is this “above deck”?

Thank you all, for everything.

This particular adventure has been going on for a while, and it seems we’ve reached the end; at least for now.

My kids mean the world to me (all of them, even...

Yeah, I felt a bit of a doof for posting about it, in light of recent events, actually. It’s amazing how words typed by invisible friends affect you, eh? It’s nice to have a community of people that...

She is out, and is being discharged, and the word from the team is everything is okay.

Hopefully this is the end of this mini saga, and we can get back to the everyday stresses of life. Ha.
...

It was neat to hear you talking about this. I can’t wait to hear how the trials go off. I wish you much success!

I typed a bunch of other stuff and deleted it a few times. Meh.

Thank you. All of you.

The doctors my Daughter has are the best. They’re genuinely lovely people, and seem competent and capable.

I have a special place in my heart for all health care workers. I could never do such a...

So, we need a BSB?

Scot banned me on accident, once. It was hilarious.

I was fortunate enough to meet him on my trip to the WBS, although we didn’t get much time to talk; dude was BUSY!

The worst part, really, is going to that hospital. You want to talk about PTSD?!

Wow. Wow, wow, wow.

And thank you all. It truly is amazing to have so many friends. I appreciate you all, so...

Some people here know that we were rendered homeless over my own medical debacle some years ago. Wiped out. Literally homeless, and totally broke.

Of course, it’s my fault. I have been reminded...

The grey ones are just plain old oars. Twine “leathers” because I’m that guy. Painted because I’m THAT guy.

The short ones are for the duck punt, and are primarily foils, for when the...

Is this also a good place to discuss how stupid our health care system is?

I hate it. Hate it.

So many frikking delays from paper shufflers, and it still costs out of pocket.

Maybe hate...

Oh, man. I love you all. My invisible friends have buoyed me more than once.

Just remember to tell everyone you know how you feel about them. Every chance you get.

And, try to love people more....

I will likely poof this thread, as is my idiotic wont.

Meanwhile, Daughter is undergoing another medical procedure today.

Anyway. I’m a wreck and I don’t really have anyone else to commiserate...

I finally had real NY pizza, at the EBS.

I would not fist fight anyone for a slice. :d

ETA: I mean, it was tasty pie, sure. Worth all the fuss about it? Meh. ;)

Have you seen the Super Cub?

Who said that?! :D

It’s nice for me to have the progress marked, so I don’t get depressed about making no headway. Haha.

Also, NGL, it’s sort of a proof that these are actually drawings, and...

Speaking of progress… this layer is done! Maybe one more layer and the whole shebang can be called a drawing. Maybe two?

116734
Meanwhile, part two of the box triptych. Because; PROGRESS!

I sit on the bottom of my duck punt and my pink skiff when I row them. With a proper spot to brace my feet, which I have, both boats just fine. And, I have a notoriously wonky back, so I can’t do bad...

116721
Oh, this guy’s cool, alright. Big dummy, is what he is.

116722
Nobody out dummies the Queen Dummy. One of the finest judges of character I’ve ever met. Sincerely. There are people she...

And BSE…

Why should he act otherwise?

Highly paid athletes are the top of the pyramid in this sick society, so why shouldn’t they have the trappings? Why not blow the filthy lucre on toys? That’s how you...

The best time with the dogs is in the morning, when they get a “special treat”. The mastiff is as stubborn as any animal ever born, but also as obedient and mindful as any animal I’ve known; she...

Big Face.

Oh, you’d get the biggest kick out of this dog. The twinkle in her eye is enough to melt your heart. And, she has no idea she’s not really a dog.

Her dog heart weighs about 7,000 pounds.

We have a 17 pound cat. Hahaha. When they fight, he will sometimes lunge at her and literally pin her down with his cat hands. Like a big brother or something. Hilarious.

He also does this...

You think you can turn left better than me?! You would love the way she spits dirt out when she turns, too; four tiny rooster tails railing through every corner. It’s hilarious.

There are several...

So, you hired a CIAO before you left to watch things? Sweet.

The only one who’ll watch the sun rise with me when it’s hot.

Is it going to be all blurry, too?

We boggle often at the size of this animal. She is smart as a whip, although a bit stubborn and hyper. When she gets anxious she runs in circles, almost always turning left.

Her problem solving...

116695
Because I know these step-by-steps are just scintillating. Be warned, though.

116696
I’m not just out here on my own. The alarm is set.

116697
Ain’t nobody sneaking up on us! The...

Mutant! :D My kids loved Waterworld when they were younger. I think that’s definitely more “Road Warrior” aesthetic. That movie certainly made a mark on the world, as far as post apocalyptica is...

Hopefully, someone will get photos or videos of the bloom that will hit Death Valley. I’ve seen it once, maybe a decade or so ago. When it rains in Death Valley, everything blooms.

It looks like a...

True confession: that movie is one responsible for making me want to be a production/set designer, no doubt. Time Bandits is another.

I am still waiting for somebody with a fat wallet to...

This was inside the box. Maybe it’s a sign?
