I hope nobody skates well tonight.

Pretty cool instrument...

...its like a one string bow harp that you use your mouth with.

Ruby sings to a very light Audience...

Poisen Ivy is...

...pretty much gone. It still doesn't look nice but it is certainly not itchy. I can feel a spot or two on my leg where I might need to hit again. For the most part the big itchy patchs are no longer itchy.

What I did is scratch the heck out of the poisen ivy pimples (which is so satisfying and you know you want to do that anyway) then rub some rubbing alcohol into the area. It appears to work.

Poison Ivy remedy...

...applied. I'll save the details until I have some healing pictures to show.

Packed in at the Wharehouse...

The wharehouse is a ton of fun but I enjoy the lighter sessions. I usually go non-stop and am the last one still pushing around but tonight is a good one to sit back and watch abit.

Burn is healing...

...Poisen Ivy is taking over. I have something for that later on.

What is worse than Poisen Ivy...

...Poisen Ivy and getting burnt.

I reached into our weedy (poisen Ivy) branch pile to get branchs to burn. Then, I burnt my wrist on the burn barrel.

Why Twitter Owes 20th-Century Postcards a "Thank You" Tweet

Why Twitter Owes 20th-Century Postcards a "Thank You" Tweet: "

Filed under: ,

Young technophiles may believe that catchy abbreviations, acronyms, and emoticons are new developments, arising because of the character limitations of certain modern means of communication like text messaging and tweeting

But the satirical newspaper 'Puck' actually published the first documented emoticons in 1881, and Abraham Lincoln may have even used one when writing a speech. A joint study performed by Lancaster and Manchester Metropolitan universities has concluded that so-called 'text speak,' the practice of conserving space through abbreviation and lack of punctuation, dates back to at least the early 1900s due to another form of communication with limited space: the postcard.

According to the report, Britons mailed almost 6 billion postcards between 1901 and 1910, which equates to roughly 200 per person, and the writers frequently employed shortened words and ignored punctuation. According to Yahoo! News, stodgy fuddy-duddies expressed concern over the phenomenon because, 'the use of postcards threatened literacy standards.' Well, some things never change. [From: Yahoo!

Our burn barrel...

I never thought I would want a burn barrel, that is until we moved to our current place and had a yard with trees. This year we have one and I won't have to drag leaves and sticks to a big pile, now they will just burn. It helps with the random junk 2x4s too =)

It would be in the chickens best interest to...

...get in the coop.
Something has tried and been succesful at getting one of them out of the tree and eating it. The other night something fought eith the rooster and knocked it out of the tree. I think I got out in time to see some thing flying away from the scene, maybe an owl.
So here we see the obedient hens along with the rooster (who I caught off guard) in the pen while the other two hens wait for just the right moment to spring into the tree above the coop. The did eventually avoid me and find roost in the tree...
