Ysabel, due to her allergies, has never had a kitty treat in her life. When she lost Efanor, and with the new kitten tearing about, she was so down I found one thing she could have---pure human-consumption tuna. She's gotten a bone stuck in her throat, we think, can't...

The weather has hit a giant 'wallow', where nothing is happening, and the usual culprits, aka, the jet stream et al, have run scampering off.  

And used a template to drill pilot holes for the big bridge decking. This decking is a multi-part operation. 1. pilot holes, quite small, drilled into the painted decking board: 4 each. They don't go all the way through. This part we did. There are 44-45 boards for...

One more test to run, but we don't think that's it. She's responding to treatment---we think, in short, she sprang a leak from an old surgery under the stress of this spring---and losing Efanor fried it. Transfusions got her back on her feet---and it was dangerous:...

Must've been something off the hawthorn tree, or the like. Pain, omg, pain. I managed to get the lens off, and have both lenses soaking in cleaner, but I am, this evening, glasses-only. Owie! We have this fancy hydrogen-peroxide cleaner that mutates to H2O overnight,...

Jane and I, having no one to call on this day, went out to our favorite pub and lifted a glass to the two men who made us what we are...faults and all: they were remarkable individuals. Jane's dad grew up on a ranch, my dad grew up on rural streets, on his own, except...
