Christmas lights
Last year after Christmas i bought some LED rope lights on sale. I went to put them up but found that the only way to really put them “up” is to wrap them around something or to screw a zip tie to something. I have been thinking of attaching lights to a bike frame and …
Rest in peace Yeti
Last night Yeti passed away. He was about 9 years old. He was from the Petersburg Humane Association and had been left in an apartment that someone moved out of. Yeti had separation issues. When I moved into my current home I left for a vacation right afterward. He made the mile trek back to …
Yeti is still not himself
Yeti is taking a trip to Juneau tomorrow after all. A few days of antibiotics and lots of rest… But he’s now not eating even the tastiest food. He’s still running a fever but hasn’t lost much more weight. He doesn’t stand up much. When he walks on smooth flooring his feet drag. He drank …
Wine tasting by Kito’s
On Saturday evening I went to the wine tasting upstairs at the Sons of Norway Hall. Admission was $20 but I managed to come home with a $22.95 bottle opener. Seth provided the transportation so I didn’t hesitate to try as many as I could. I had all of the reds and liked a few …
Yeti’s temperature is down
Yesterday Yeti had a temperature of 105.5 so today’s drop makes me feel better about his condition. I won’t be shipping him off to "camp" in Juneau after all…
The new table top
Here is the table top. The second coat of polycrylic is applied. It is really heavy. I need to figure out legs and trim the outside of the table the whole way around but this is where it will be. I trimmed the ends of the boards to square it up. I like the imperfections, …
A clear coat on raw wood
I just finished applying a second coat of Minwax polycrylic to the table that i have been putting together for a few weeks. I picked up two cans at the basket sale almost two months ago. This picture shows how much the first coat made the wood colors and grain come out. I really am …
Yeti is sick
A few days ago i noticed that Yet had lost some weight. He’s been lethargic too – just laying in front of the heater when it runs. His coat is getting a little oily and it turns out he’s running a temperature. I hope to have antibiotics tomorrow to hit whatever is going on. Unfortunately …
Thrift store finds 12/2
After work today i stopped by Salvation Army and picked up these three items which cost me $3.50. (I’m sure the Loch Ness Monster is really fuming about that.) I listed the book on Amazon for $75. The year old National Geographic will get me through quite a few breakfasts, and the infant scale is …
