This saw is totally amazing. Watch the video below; can you imagine all the appendages that would be saved if this were an affordable technology?
I’ll never see one in my garage, not at that price!
I have a ton of things to do around the house, and with the onset of Fall, there are leaves and acorns everywhere. Seriously, I don’t believe we have had an acorn outbreak this severe. The acorns cover the ground making walking a bit difficult. You can actually just slide down the side yard to the back. It’s crazy.
My nightmare
I was finally able to obtain a barrel (thanks Mom & Bill) for leave burning. Of course, in the process of getting the lid off the barrel, I slammed my hand with the hammer. Yeah! It hurt so good. It hurt so bad. Funny thing about the barrel was when the fire from inside reached the top of the barrel and ignited the remaining residue on the outside of the barrel. The whole thing shot up in flames. It was rather interesting to watch. It burned out quickly, but I was prepared with a fire extinguisher,
in case it got out of hand.
Our barrel
Brandy had a fun time running around
And finally taking a break

One last outdoor pic
And one last one of us inside. You can see the wall, I am finishing up in the background. I hate drywall. meh
I love bluetooth technology. I love the fact that I can have an earpiece for my phone and not have a cord attaching it. But, seriously people. If you are not actively engaged in a call, there is no need to leave the damn thing sitting on your ear. They are small enough to fit into your pocket or hang around your neck on a lanyard.
TAKE IT OFF YOUR EAR WHEN YOU ARE NOT USING IT!!!
We ran out of time last night to carve up our pumpkins, but I made sure there was plenty of time in the schedule to get it done today. We went for a simplistic design, but hey… it worked for us.
Talon poses by the pumpkins. Our faces have already been drawn on.
Here he is carving away like a madman.
The finished product ( I had to finish cutting Talon’s up. His hand “got tired” )
And of course, with the lights off. Talon’s is the one with teeth
That’s right, baby! My flight is booked and I will be headed back to the UK next month. It has been about 3 years since I have been back.
I cannot wait!
Not real eagles, of course. You silly people. Last night we had our first meeting of the Screaming Bulls. Our first order of business was to get our name tags sorted out. Yeah, we got skills. Marvel at our awesomeness.
Today will end up being a very busy day. I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, yet.
Cory Doctorow:The US has banned importation of icky Australian delicacy Vegemite (a brown gunky spread that is simultaneously delicious and grody), enraging Aussie expats in the US, who require a steady supply of Vegemite in order to remain functional.
The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate, which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals.Expatriates say that enforcement of the ban has been stepped up recently and is ruining lifelong traditions of having Vegemite on toast for breakfast.
Former Geelong man Daniel Fogarty, who now lives in Calgary, Canada, said he was stunned when searched while crossing the US border recently.
“The border guard asked us if we were carrying any Vegemite,” Mr Fogarty said.

Marmite is next you Brits!!!
Monday I smashed my nose into a window. This evening I was putting up some curtains when the curtain rod slipped. It was somehow caught between my pinky and the rest of my fingers. And from there it just rolled around and twisted the crap out of my finger.
So, now, my left pinky finger is swollen and discolored. I am going to crawl into bed and not get out for a while. It is too dangerous for me out here.
They must be after me. I am afraid. I am very afraid.
