Apologies Windbags and Robots

OK I haven't posted in a while. A lot has been going on lately.

Family stuff, which prayer is always welcomed.

Marriage stuff, which has been getting better and better.

And personal stuff, again just a general prayer is nice.

So first apologies. I'm sorry I haven't been updating this as much as I should. Thanks to those who read this and to those that don't I'm sorry.

Windbags, or rather bagpipes. Yes, I've decided to learn how to play the bagpipes. There is a band that plays up in Reno and they offer lessons to people who want to learn. Best part is the lessons are free! They only ask if you would play with the band once you reach the point of playing well.

Robots. Katrina and I along with our friend's Christy and Scott went to go see the movie W.A.L.L.-e tonight. Which was really good. I think that it is my new favorite Disney Pixar movie. Yes I liked it that much. Thanks to Ed who gave us the free movie passes for helping him move some furniture in to his place. I hope all went well with the rest of it.

Well I'm off to go practice my chanter (it's what you learn before you play the bagpipes).

Goodnight!

Disappointment and awesomeness

Ok so I sold one of my mountianboards and I'm bummed out. I didn't get what I was asking, but I'm glad it went to a guy who is going to use it.

Now it's time for the awesomeness. Because of this movie I kinda want to work in an office.



Goodnight!

Old airplanes

So today I worked on an airplane that was so old that it didn't need a vacuum pump it used a venturi.

Here's a picture of it.



Sorry it turned out kinda blurry I had to use my phone for the picture.

Goodnight!

Swamp Cool-A!

It's been a wile. Hunh?

So this weekend we went up to Katrina's parent's property where I helped frame and stand up the second story walls. Which was a stretch for me cause I'm afraid of heights. Yeah I know, an aircraft mechanic afraid of heights, it's an oxymoron. Anyway while there Katrina and I were given a swamp cooler. We thought we had AC here at our new place but we don't so we got a swamp cooler instead. It uses less electricity and is easier to work on compared to a traditional window AC unit.

So we spent today doing some chores around the house. I gave the dog a bath, cleaned the grill that we got for free, and got the swamp cooler hooked up and ready to go. Now were just relaxing enjoying the cool air and waiting for the tri-tip to finish cooking.

Crazy Japanese People

Goodnight!

Zombiefest 2008

S last night some friend's of mine came over and we watched zombie movies. Here's the line up.

28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later
Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2
Army of Darkness
Planet Terror

We started at 4 in the afternoon and didn't finish until 1 in the morning. It was fun. My dreams were kind of weird last night but I was excited to wake up because, Katrina was coming home!

But not until 2:30 in the afternoon. So I woke up did some dishes and laundry and waited. While I waited, I watched Anchorman, and started 50 First Dates. Aaron called me and wanted to know if I wanted to play Mario Kart which I totally whooped up on him on.

After the second round of races Katrina walked through the door. And we've just been hanging out since. Needless to say I am super bored right now.

Goodnight!

Fleas!

Have you ever felt creatively dead. Where you just don't want to draw, paint, write, anything? That's how I've felt lately. I remember a time where I would draw constantly. There was a time where I would journal a whole bunch. It feels like for the past months it feels like I haven't done anything creative.

I don't really feel like writing too much tonight but I did want to share some really good ukulele music with you all. I have been reading boingboing.net and they've been posting a bunch of ukulele player videos and such like. And I kinda want to start playing ukulele. I wanted a drum but not so much anymore. Maybe I'm just searching for an answer to what I'm supposed to do to get through my dry spell I mentioned above. So here's other people's creative ventures. Maybe one day I can be added to the list.











That's all for now.

Goodnight!
