Blog moved?

I moved the daily posts over to wordpress for a week or two - I wanted to see if I liked it better - stop by and let me know if you like it or not.

I can't believe my boss ate the whole pie....

After work I installed (one side) my old running boards on a co-workers truck. As always, took twice as long as needed.

After dinner, we stopped by the "Art Barns" outside Cameron, NC - they are fading badly and will soon be gone I am sure.  http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/cameron-barnstormer-murals

Rain is coming.

July 23, 2014


The wind at the beach blew so much salt water on the tent, I had to wash it when we got home, today was the first sunny day since then to dry it!

The Portrait photography class at Randolph Community College. Congrats graduates!

Back from a mini-vacation and back to cats.

Ice cream from a giant strawberry. Still not as good as Kimballs - www.kimballfarm.com - (if you are ever heading through Massachusetts, this is a must do)

The day was eventful, we got early and packed up to beat the heat and rain, had breakfast at a beach dive breakfast place, were directly behind a 3 car accident, and had ice cream, all before the 5 hours of unpacking, cleaning, drying and repacking (although the rain came before I was ready to pack, so the basement is filled right now)

We had great wave action and some over 6 feet tall. Sam was on top a bunch of curls and I was even body surfing without the board till I got rolled under the water, somersaulted and deciding the board was better ; )

The view from my tent window and our set up. The wind was howling tonight, the ground tent was filled with sand, the Flippac - nice and clean. As always in this set up, I slept like a baby!

I learned during yesterday's lab,  students still are not sure on lighting in layers and balancing light, so today was another "performance quiz" - 100% passed, after I made them do it over and over till they passed.

Kevin does his thing! I don't think any student, anywhere appreciates how much work and prep goes into a lecture, and how much more when the lecture includes a live demo, and no one does it better than Kevin!

Sliders are welded on - ready for the woods again.

When cats are assholes. We left the butter out for 30 minutes to eat dinner when a cat found it and licked it... two days later, none of the cats will eat it!

Cleaned the white board.... 4 weeks left for summer semester.

Sam had a friend over for the night and they built a redneck slip and slide. I did a few turns, it worked well.

June 28, 2014


A very busy day. I took my trailer down to my brother's in South Carolina to load and carry 3 LARGE loads to the dump,  headed over to Columbia to but these sliders, then "forced" myself to mountain bike for over 2 hours in Harbison State Forest, then drive the 3 hours home....

 Oil change and tire rotation, it was too hot to jump, remove, jack install x5, so I just used my old worn out BFGs.
