Raindrops keep falling on my head...

2008-07-17T18:38:27Z

It is not exactly unusual, but it has rained every day since we got here. No complaints: the area could use the rain. But Tuesday we went to Busch Gardens and in the early afternoon it just poured on us. Today we went inner-tubing in a local pa...

Inspiration high. Motiviation low.

I've got all my great ideas. But actually doing something about them is tough. But I did work on my design for the large display base I'm doing. It's in two pieces - inner and outer. I'm starting with the inner since it will have more detailed...

A Mixed Blessing

2008-07-09T12:21:35Z

Since arriving here, the weather has been uncommonly rainy and cool. It is as if we have brought Ohio with us. I am refraining from complaining too much, however: I am not a huge fan of overly hot weather and this area continues to be suffering ...

My journey begins...

2008-07-07T20:18:52Z

Yesterday we set out for Florida in Fawkes, our RV, and today we arrived at our destination. It turned out to be a pretty good trip, with little of the problems we anticipated. There one was, however, that we did not anticipate. Dog flatulence....
