615 Busyfail!

Don't remember what exactly I didn't take pics of today, but I know I was crazy busy with pax-erations.

614 Worker Bees

 

Enplankening the sides of the poopdeck on deck-or-ating Sunday.

613 Posted

 

This is the endpost of the front rail of the poopdeck, after I spent 15 minutes sanding it. Smoooooth!

612 Illusions

 

I love this photo.

611 One Shot

 

Took some time out to go to Steelhead with my boy. I swear I've taken this exact picture a bunch of times and it never works... but it's the only pic from today, so there it is.

610 Bolted

 

This is the poop deck on the second weekend of construction. The mission: build a modular poop deck that can be constructed in less than 30 minutes with no tools. It also needs to support t-shirt cannons and people.

609 Trash Day

 

I cleaned out the fridge. Wish I'd done it sooner, but the resulting mess was at least... colorful.

608 Legs! Warm!

 

Finished the first of the legwarmers I'm making. Roo was kind enough to model.

607 Agility

 

...Sam has it! Dog park shenanigans with Roo and his BFF Sam.

606 Fallarday

Failing in spanish seems better somehow.

605 Spider Model

 

My intention was to pick more plums, but instead I met this spider who made his webby home in the plum tree. He was actually really tiny, contrary to how it seems here. Marlowe got jealous and climbed the tree to shake the branch so I couldn't get many in-focus shots :-P

604 Still Life with Plates

 

Had some people over for dinner and the season's first plum tart. This is, clearly, after :-)

603 Gar Lag

 

R is here!! R is jet lagged and exhausted!

602 Be My Honey Bear

 

It's a honey bear. I'm tired and needed a pic before going to bed. Now, good night!

601 Starry Starry Plate

 

This is not a starry starry night, but rather my empty plate after I finished the fabulous dinner J cooked for us.

600 Time Capsule

 

A lot of the stuff in Trinity (and the cabin we stayed in) hasn't been touched in years and years. The medicine cabinet is no exception- Mercurochrome is not available over the counter these days and Nebs appear to be a brand of aspirin. I took lots and lots of pictures of old bits and pieces, which you can see here, if you're interested. Note the end of that album is from inside the power house on site, which processes the power from the private hydro dam that powers the cabins.

599 Signs of Life

 

Trinity has lots of building foundations from the old mining town, but only a few functioning cabins. This is something in between. I found a newspaper from 1985 on the ground near here, and there's a bed and a lot of trash inside. Creepy, but awesome.

598 Oh, Heavens

 

We arrived in Trinity, where Venus was waiting to greet us. I set Julio on the ground and left her alone for 284 seconds... this was the result of my 5th try.

597 Thursfail

596 Obsession

 

...thanks Jen. Thanks a lot ;-)

595 Three Miles Old

 

Our new car! So new, it's from THE FUTURE (2010). S/he doesn't have a name yet, but we love it anyway! Side view | rear view

594 You Can't Have Too Many Daves

 

The many faces of Mr. Gahan himself at the Depeche Mode show (which we almost totally forgot about due to car buying madness). I'm glad we didn't, because they were great :-)

593 Sascha Also Says Goodbye

 

Another victim of the new-car-shuffle, Sascha is going to be vroooming off to a new home soon. Today she got a wash, wax and new battery so she can show off her best side for prospective buyers. (Craigslist post here, if you know anyone who's looking for a great bike.)

592 Janice, Waiting

 

This is a muppet Janice, given to the boy and I by a friend before we left Boston. She's lived on the dashboard of Jenny (the mustang) ever since. She, and the rest of this other stuff, are what we emptied out of the car in preparation for trading her in today... except we didn't make it that far. No fancy new car till we can get the correct paperwork from the bank on Monday. I'm being patient. So is Janice.

591 Bike, Sleeping

 

(continuing on with B-titles this week. totally unintentional until now ;-)
Another camera phone pic... sorry about that! Snapped this after leaving the merc, sometime after 3am. I love bike shadows in streetlights.

590 Bounty

 

I picked so many berries I had to freeze some for later. Tragic, I know ;-)

589 Birthday Cat

 

Level up, Marlowe! You have achieved ONE YEAR on this planet!

588 Blood Red

 

You might not know why this is funny... but it is.

587 Beautiful Plum-age

 

I find weeding the garden far more fun than is probably reasonable. So fun, in fact, that it got dark before I had a chance to stop and take pictures of the almost-ripe italian plums on our tree. They just started going purple a few days ago... won't be long now!

586 Let's Make a Deal

 

Car shopping! The Mazda dealer/ship was much better.

585 Bar Number Two

 

Snapped this with my phone during epic bar crawl. I don't even know the name of this place with its fabulous deck, but it's the place that used to be a vegan restaurant with an "urban tea ceremony." I like it better in its current incarnation.
