Movie Night

We've been enjoying some of the "Trailer Park Boys" shows from Netflix.But, The Fuzz would not recommend this to anyone who might have problems with that infamous "F"-word, as it is used occasionally. We're not even sure how this stuff got onto our queue, but sometimes you just get lucky.

The Work Continues

You may remember The Fuzz started this project a while back.
Well, it's has been a slow go with the hot weather and all. And there seem to be other things happening here and there.

The next step was to get these piers mortared together. While The Fuzz never has done this professionally, he has had to dabble with it at times. Particularly at the old place in regards to the "Condition". But that is another story.
So he made a trip into town for some mortar mix. Of course mortar mix must be mixed as can be seen here. He borrowed the garden hoe for this.
Which puts me in mind of a story an old lady used to tell on herself. She was 104 at the time, and The Fuzz's Sweetie was sitting with her. It seems that when she was a bit younger, she was working in the fields hoeing with a couple of young'uns. They were really impressed with her skills and told her "You must be the best hoe-er in North Carolina". She thought it was great.
But back to The Fuzz. He's not really much of a hoe-er himself, but he is getting this done, a little bit at a time. And that's OK.

Cool Salt Rock Lamp

Not having any other cool pix for this post, The Fuzz brought up this old one. Here is our Cool Salt Rock Lamp.
This thing is supposed to do all kinds of good things for us.

I quote-
" * These salt lamps are made of natural Himalayan crystal salt mined from underground salt mines in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains...

* This crystal salt is hundreds of millions of years old and, as a result, has special properties and high mineral content

* Heat from the bulb (in our salt lamps) or flame (in our candle holders) causes the salt to emit negative ions

* These negative ions bond with the pollutants in the air (positive ions) and neutralize them

* Also, the newly bonded ions become heavier and fall to the ground removing them from the air circulation

* In addition, these negative ions combat electro-smog caused by electronic devices operating in the home

* Symptoms from asthma, allergies, and other illnesses can also subside from the effects of these products"

So there you have it! Here's a closer look at this marvel.Pretty spiffy, yes?

We never did make it down to the river. At least not yet. It's just been more of the same old same old, as they say. But, school starts back tomorrow, and the Young Daughter will be in the High School. Maybe she's not so young any more. But she is still The Baby. Now she'll have to get up in the morning too. Ha Ha. The Fuzz is looking forward to waking her with his Souvenir of the Tropical Paradise, Conch Shell! That is always fun, at least for him.
So as can be seen, life goes on.

Postponement

Looks like a postponement here.
Tomorrow might be a bit better day for a river picnic.

Roof Rack

While we were at the Beach this summer, The Fuzz's Family surprised him with this cool Kayak. He had enjoyed borrowing one in the past. It was a complete surprise to him at the time, and they had a lot of fun with that part.
This is more of a river type than one of those ocean going things. That is good because while we don't have an ocean around here, we do have a river.
Of course, we still need a way to get it to the river. We did take it with us a while back, when we went over there for a picnic and swim. But, we had to use the trailer, which seemed a bit much.
So The Fuzz finally broke down and purchased this Spiffy High Dollar Roof Rack for our Luxury Vehicle. Note all the complicated adjustments needed to make it fit. We used to have an old Cavalier station wagon. It had those roof gutters, and it was easy to strap on our old carriers, tighten up the straps, and go. But these new finagled vehicles are harder to work with.
If the weather is good, we may have another River Day tomorrow.

Chillin'

Well, here they are, just being lazy.

The Old Fuzz stayed home today. His old back has been bothering him a bit. He doesn't have a young back these days. So here is a pix of 2 of these doggies and their feline friend. That little white one and the kitty are pretty good buddies. They spend much of their time playing together. I guess they just got tired out.

Not Quite So Gloomy

Here's a look at the home place in the morning, while The Fuzz was getting ready for the ride into work- just liked the pix.

The good news is that The Fuzz found a good bit of his "project" still there, on that Little Mac. And, there are still some extensive notes and rough drafts in a notebook he was carrying at work with him But there was still much lost.
In the future, he vows to have extensive back up.

Gloom

It has been mentioned here in the past, as a lame excuse for the sporadic posts, that The Fuzz was working on another project. Well, said project was pretty much finished at around 20 chapters. He was cleaning things up a bit and looking forward to the finished story. Alas, it is no more. All was located on a small flash drive which has now, some how, died. This was about 6 months work. Shit.

Bath Time

Sometimes a dogy's grooming habits leave something to be desired.

That's when a friend like this comes in handy.
But these two are buddies and Kitty is glad to help out.How 'bout a little sugar!

Doggone Troubles

It can be good to have a few doggies around. But they can be a pain in the you know what.
When that little one was chained (for her own good) near The Fuzz's trailer, this was the result.
We need the trailer. And we need the lights to work on it.
So, one more time, The Fuzz had to get out the old tool box.
Really, the damage wasn't all that bad. But it was one more thing, in that never ending progression, that had to be taken care of.
Back in the days, he would have simply twisted the chewed up wire together and wrapped some tape around it.But now of course, we have these cool little crimpy things. But, we still use the tape.There, I fixed it!

And Another Mystery Pix
