Some pixies taken from my Windows 3.1 puter!

just play Chip's Challenge all day

I love the X-Files file manager.

Where's the excavator?

Here and here!

mirocu's practicing digging holes!

Nice, mirocu! Are you going to dig up that stump?

Here are two more (the last ones) from last week:

Sand Dinos

and Marsh Walk.

I love the marsh as much as the beach.

We´re probably gonna cut the roots here and there and pull it up with the tractor


Amazing place! I´d love to take a walk there too!

Nice.


Looks like such a cool place to visit.

They do make it obvious where you're supposed to walk! I'm surprised there isn't a white line down the middle.

I guess you will get those gophers now!



Those dinos are fantastic! I hope it doesn't rain.

The marsh looks lovely. Though of course I am imagining all the mosquitoes. That would be a good place to use the setrace command and turn into an Argonian...

It´s payback time!

Cottage update time!

Last night we got a new shed for some of our stuff! We got it from the school where my dad had his last job before he retired

Here it comes!
Its new home spot And yes, that´s mirocu sr to the right

Nice, mirocu! That shed looks to be in great shape.

It is It even came with some misc stuff like screws, saws and wasp nests

Wasp nests!

Very nice, mirocu! What’s the lattice on the roof? Is that for growing plants?

No We just had to remove the tiles before moving the shed

Mirocu, I envy you. You get to retreat to a cottage in the woods. That's on my things to do list. You're right about it being a home spot. It looks cozy from the exterior. Awesome dude!

As for myself I have been messing with photo editing and online drawing a bit since I downloaded a cool new program for quality pictures. I frankly don't know what the hell I did here or how I came up with this

Thanks, man You make me appreciate what we have more which is good considering the turmoil we´re having


Self-portrait?

Hey, I know for a fact you're going to enjoy the time off by retreating a bit and enjoying nature's beauty. We all have that need to just get away sometimes, you know. A cottage is the perfect place.

Yep. Ever seen Daniel Zedda self portraits? I was always interested in artistic photo taking instead of the average bathroom(shudders) selfies people take. I just need some good quality camera work and some knowledge in photo taking skills and I'm set.

DE, is that an image made from a photo? I really like the effect.

Speaking of nature's beauty, here's some glorious nature occurring in my back yard.

Yep. I took a "selfie" and changed/added effects. Thanks. Gotta start somewhere, right?

What does the fox say?

Ever try feeding it?

Quicl, summon a golden eagle! You'll need something larger than a Cooper's for that one.

We’re feeding him all of the moles, voles, and chipmunks he can catch.

I did catch Mr. Grits and The Girl feeding high fiber bread to the deer, which is not at all good for them. We had a discussion about people food and wild animals and I also mentioned that the damned deer have eaten just about every plant I’ve tried to grow over the years while fastidiously avoiding the weeds and so I was not going to buy bread for them. Then I pointed out that the only thing worse than piles of deer poop in the grass was puddles of deer poop. So the fox caught in a digestive event in the middle of the lawn was quickly blamed on the high fiber bread!

You’re right, ghastley, even the barred owl could not take this guy. We need eagles!

In a LotR movie they would grab the fox and walk away with it instead of using the eagles..


Nice shot of the foxxie, though!

My two new mousepads came in the mail the other day. Now the big decision. Which do I use for my main computer, and which for the older, second box? Decisions, decisions...

Gosh, both those mouse pads are so purrrfect for you!

Both ones are great! I especially like the one to the right for some reason....

How about using the one with the witch with the old puter? Seems logical to me at least..

It looks like one for Oct 31st, and one for the rest of the year. Just how often do you use the "other computer"?

Nice! Maybe change the most often used one seasonally?

Yesterday I had the Autumn Witch, today I have to Raven Hekate. I think I am just going to swap the pads back and forth.

Here are two from recent adventures.

Sand castle by the same guys who made the sand dinos. They get around!

Cloudy days at the beach are my favorite.

The sand castle is awesome! The beach looks cold though.

One reason I go to a beach is to get some color. So I wouldn't like all those clouds either!

I'm with you, Grits - there's just something special about a cloudy day at the beach. And that sand castle looks. . . what's the word dear mALX would use? AWESOME!!!

That is one awesome sand castle!


That you in the water, Grits?

My favorite is the one on the Left in the corset. That would have to be on the computer I used the most frequently if I was choosing.

I had mousepads made from pictures of my son. Now they are all worn out and shredding apart, I really need new mousepads.






I absolutely LOVE Chips Challenge! What an addictive game!

Then maybe it´s time for lesson one....

WOO HOO! Love that first board! I have it on a floppy disc, but no computers use that floppy size anymore, lol. My old PC did, I kept it up just for Chips.

This is me and a friend at my surprise birthday do last night, with an absolutely amazing d20 cake. I'm the handsome one pulling the ridiculous face and giving the thumbs up.

Linkage because the image tag doesn't like the pic's source code

So glad you enjoyed your birthday, Mustard!

Wow, Mustard -looks like you had a great time for your birthday! Surprises like that are Awesome!

So we all want to know:

Did you roll the cake?
Did anyone take a picture after you rolled the cake?
Is the number on top your age?

I have a new bed! I went out shopping yesterday, and after looking all over, I went back to the very first one I saw. It is an Amish built queen-size made from cherrywood. I am looking forward to the extra space, especially for my toes. My feet always wound up sticking off the side of my old Full size bed. I went all in, and bought a new mattress as well, and even new 1,000 thread count sheets, and a new uber pillow.

Here it is with the matching night stand, without anything on it

And with everything on it

It sits up really high. I am glad I got the bunkie board instead of box springs for it. Otherwise I would need a ladder to get into it!

Freya had to explore it before giving her approval

Yay for new beds! I still have mine from 2001

It looks great, Sub. But what did Freya say?

Pleasant dreams! The new bed looks great - and it even has some storage drawers beneath it looks like. Glad Freya approves.

I was about to say that "everything" should include cats, but it appears that already happened.

Inquiring minds want Spots' opinion!

That's a nice choice, Sage Rose! I almost brought one like it ten years ago when I went on a similar bed hunt, but found another one that I liked better.

Yay for Queen-sized beds! Much better than the full, especially when you have cat(s) that insist on hogging the entire mattress. And yet, they don't take up as much space as a King, which is especially valuable when you rent. Most rentals have such small bedrooms! I'm so spoiled with my own bedroom in our townhouse - it is actually two smaller bedrooms combined into one and called the "second master bedroom" - it spans the full width of the house and is actually larger than my mom's "Master Suite" bedroom!

But my Queen bed looks just as at home in this bedroom as it did in the 11x11 foot bedroom I had at the time I purchased it.

I did notice the cat bed tucked into the new nightstand! I bet Freya and Spots approve!

Freya gives her stamp of approval to the new sleeping arrangements.

Spots however, is afraid of the bed, and won't go in the room.
