| Food at Furry Fiesta |
[Jan. 28th, 2010|12:11 am] |
The Plan is to go the Meat Faucet aka Texas De Brazil. But I need one dedicated person who wants to go to join the Texas De Brazil club and we get 50% off our dinner for like a group of 8. I did this last year and it worked out fine. But you only get that coupon when you first join and it is good for like 30 days so now is the time to join.
So if you want to be a part of the Meat Faucet Carnivores let me know and I will get you set up or just go to their website and I am sure it is easy to figure out. |

I did a quick fix so I can have water again in the house. Yeah. I turn on the water and find I blew another line in the house, this time behind the washing machine water supply. I will see about taking out the wall and see what needs to be done there.
I am leaning to replacing all the lines. Yep, all of them. This is why I dislike compression lines so much. |

Looks like I have finally will be getting some of the time off to attend this con. I will be riding down Friday with Drazil and Frisky. Yeah, car pool. So one night shorter then last year.
My plans are Friday Night Texas De Brazil
Saturday Afternoon Tokyo One
Saturday Night Private event
Sunday Afternoon Chaka's BBQ place?
Sunday Night Jakes?
No real plans other then that.
I guess I should look at the con schedule to see what is going on. |

| Lord of the Spring |
[Jan. 15th, 2010|03:13 am] |
Well most of the spring has been taken care of. Still no water for me. I made the mistake of not upgrading the repair of the sink line on the hot side last time and just the cold side so hence the split there. So I will upgrade that repair this time. I am thinking about just going again and get it all taken care of with CPVC and be done with that. After all the Line to the Shower will be open also so can kill off two at one time? Heck might as well. If nothing else maybe I will upgrade the lines so least it is there and go from that. |

So who is going? I am applying for time off to go but you never know how that is.
I am talking with the con about having a variety show there and I need to sell them on having it as in the past they could not get any acts. Having put together shows for RCFM, Oklacon and WildNights I know what needs to happen to make sure there is a show.
So who would be interested in bring forth some sort of entertainment???
Money will be tight for the con due to having just gotten a place and still spending money there. That and buying a few gifts for Christmas, I should not have done that but sometimes you just gotta.
I asked for time off, I don't get any sort of vacation pay so I will be attending FF at a negative for certain. But I would really like to go as I had a good time down there. |

| Return of the Spring |
[Jan. 14th, 2010|05:51 am] |
Well another freeze brought forth a Spring on the outside of the place. Fortunately the caretaker of the park took care of that one. But he turned on the water while I was out
and it froze again. So I came home to the sound of running water so I went outside and just turned off the water and decided to take care of it in the morning. Yep, Pretty bad. A double break in the line so I pulled the whole intake line out and replaced it out all the way to inside the house.
I turned the water back on to find the Kitchen Spring had returned and a new one in the bathroom.
Sooooo it looks like I am going to be replacing that shower sooner then I thought.
So to make my day so I feel like I got something done I painted the Door of the Tool shed and replaced out some bad wood that was on it. It looks nicer now. That was on the day when it was nice out. |

| a lack luster Holiday |
[Jan. 10th, 2010|06:11 pm] |
Yes it was. Not really one to spend it with. Busy at work, at least which what was I needed, I guess. That and working on the new place when I could.
It is the time when I start thinking of Martin and friends who have past. Martin, whose Birthday was December 15th. I was at the gambling table dealing listening to folks complain
and I am reminded of one of Martin's favorite lines from the Simpson when Gramp pa Simpson paraphrases Kipling's: If
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!
I would love to memorize this little bit and quote it to players. A nice way of remembering Martin
also.
I wonder if folks ever realize how hard it is to get true friends? |

| Bowling |
[Jan. 10th, 2010|03:07 am] |
Mostly last minute we decided to head out to go Fursuit bowling over going to Bricktown to go sledding. It was just too cold for anything outside. So we were going to bowl. I got there first to find the alley all crowded from a special event for Special Olympics. So that alley was out. But I made some contacts there with the Alley and with the host of the S.O. Sweet.
So off to heritage Bowling alley and we finally got to play. Harvest was there visiting from
Nebraska. As well some other locals. (yep, I should have written those names down) Kassie was there (OKie's Mate) and Raven (Okie's Spawn)
We played and it was alright. Made some contacts at that alley also so there are some options at least. the bonus was finally being able to use my custom Calamity Bowling ball. Broke 100 in it.
I figure with some more practice I can really get my score up there while in suit.
Back to the Okie Den for hanging. Big John showed up and we started to watch a flick along with eating some mighty fine home made tacos.
Now seems that the Yote is getting better with a couple of issues to my ride. Wet frozen newspaper on the windows and grease on the door handles. After getting that stuff off or least most of it I got home for like 2 hours of sleep before work. |

| My Ironclaw game |
[Jan. 9th, 2010|02:05 am] |
I have started running a game again. I was pretty discouraged about getting into playing so what the heck, start running one. I got a couple of the role players of a group and we set out to play which is always a challenge during the Xtmas Holidays. But January showed up and we had our first game which ran rather late as they had a great time. The setting is Africa with all the issues there with the local Wildlife. It has been compared to Avatar. Which I can see some of that. But I set up my game first before seeing the movie so any similarities I should sue James
Cameron.
Interesting enough they do start off on a ship. I was shooting for the not meeting each other in a bar so hooking up with each other to get to the setting seemed like a good idea. Both are starting level so going to somewhere completely different is a nice way of starting out also. As of right now I have 2 players but we will likely be expanding that to a couple more. We have discussed it as a group and sounds like a good idea. |

| Something nice to hear |
[Jan. 9th, 2010|12:55 am] |
After my lamenting post about the cold here and my lack for heat for a couple of days I got a call from Crys and the gang letting me know there was room at the Inn (their place). Just goes to show that there are folks out there looking out for me.
Thanks! |

| Con themes |
[Jan. 9th, 2010|12:52 am] |
Some years ago I submitted for RCFM a con theme of Redneck Rocketry. It got shot down for numerous reasons. But I submit to you the reader that such a con theme would be a blast at say
even Furry Fiesta or Megaplex. More so at RCFM seeing they are in Alabama but they thought folks would take offense to it. Anyway here is a fine example of Rocketry gone wrong.
My thanks to Ysengrin for the link:

| Why Sabercats aren't around anymore |
[Jan. 8th, 2010|11:55 pm] |
You know again and again I am seeing that them Sabercats are just not a very bright critter.
(sorry Farraptor, but everytime Sabercat posts I keep seeing it) Now why am I saying this. Now as a firm Feline supporter it is very difficult for me to knock an ancestor of mine but I guess
Sabercat just got knocked on the head once too often by those cavemen. Heck maybe they should
change the Geico commercials to say "So simple a Sabercat can do it"
Anyway back to my musing. I mentioned in a recent post that it is rather cold here in OK right now and get this Sabercat in his ancient wisdom tells me "Put on the Jaguar and I will keep warm"
Heck if any critter I work with can keep warm it would be the cougar as he is a North American feline. The Jaguar, we all know is from where? South American (No Cold there) Central American
(No Snow there) and the Southern part of North America) Not very cold there.
Look, If I had a tiger? Heck yeah good idea, A Snow Leopard? right on. But not a Jaguar. Com'on. |

| A cold decision |
[Jan. 8th, 2010|12:27 am] |

I am going to start wearing my Duster and my Russian Bear hat. I think the weather now warrants it. Brrrrrrrrrrr. How can it be soooooo cold but no snow? What a weird state. |

| Braving the cold |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|11:45 pm] |
It is like below zero here with wind chill so I am underneath a load of blankets. Not getting a lot done but I did start to tackle a wall in the bed room as I know I will be getting to it in the near future.
I am looking forward to some warm days so I can knock something out and get it done. Just too cold right now to work. |

| another room that I have forward to working on |
[Jan. 6th, 2010|11:57 pm] |
The back bedroom
This is the door way into the bedroom. See the nice exposed wiring? See the hole covered on the floor? See the hole in the wall?
This is the Old closet I will be moving it to the other wall next to the bathroom so it will keep the room a bit quieter from internal noises. Also it is the best way to rewire the ceiling for the ceiling fan later on. See the nice exposed wire to the ceiling fan??
Last photo of this room. Just of the bad wall. I should take one of the really scary wall recepticle But heck they all kinda look like that.
Today I put that gray wire behind the wall to get the electrical a bit safer. I have already pulled off all that yellow drywall so I can fix the closet and wall up right. |
