Tree Study

No, I can't decide which I like best.  That's why I kept playing with it.  Thoughts?

Happy Birthday Beau!

Can you believe it?  Beau is four!

Happy Weekend, All!

Ha!

Every now and then I stumble across something that doesn't completely suck.  Thank you, avast! for having the class that microsoft does not.  Go here to see what I'm rambling about.

Lookee!

 

I made a new friend.  His name is Harding.  He's a very handsome corn snake who seemed quite content to spend some time twining around my hand.

 

Yes, it really is my hand he's wrapped around!

Never Underestimate...

Howie is home! He needed an alternator. Gulp. It'll be okay. I will come up with a plan B for paying my property taxes. When the garage called to say he was ready they also gave me some bad news. The radio was no longer functional. Something about needing to enter a reset code and not being able to because the previous owner destroyed one of the buttons. Hrm. Okay. They are forgetting that this is Howie. He likes the radio on long trips. Soon as I hopped in I switched on the radio. Works just fine, as expected. Yay Howie!

Odd

This morning I noticed a mini bumble attacking a big bumble. Look closely and you will see him sitting on the other's head. What is that all about? There are plenty of flowers for them to share.

Enough!

Howie is dead. Again. The nice tow truck man got him started and sent us off to have the battery tested. The good news - the battery is fine. The bad news - the alternator failed the test. Fingers crossed for him please that it's only the wire connecting the two.  We're already passed the point where we can't take any more of this.

Hope your weekend started out better than mine.
