Ever fixed a window? It started with a simple re-caulking job.

by | Aug 1, 2011 | Journal

Somebody used a non-flexible caulk on this window. It cracked. We went after the caulk. The windowpane cracked. We get another pane. It cracked when we put in the glazer’s points (nasty little diamond thingies that hold the window while you caulk it.) We get...

Celebrated OSG’s b’day yesterday…

by | Jul 30, 2011 | Journal

It’s really on the 20th, but we screwed up the Crater Lake trip when Ysabel got sick. So we promised OSG, (we were all going) a birthday lunch. And we were so disorganized we just planned on us, because that was the track our minds were running on; and then we...

Things you wish you had on film…

…Eushu and Seishi, last night, playing chase. Seishi is not a big cat, but when he stretches out, he’s got length. I’ve worried about Sei: Shu just won’t let him alone: it’s constant wrestling and chasing, and I mean dawn past dusk,...

Update on Ysabel

I think we’ve got the eye condition handled, and we’re down to the basic fact that she’s 80 0r 90 kitteh years old, and had first the loss of her companion [she came down with a respiratory infection], and then the introduction of a very rowdy kitteh...
