Brief Excitements. 5 things post!

1. The ticking noise from the left front of the van WAS something in the tire, which blew out on the offramp 237W to Lawrence Expy. The spare had a hole. Kurt came and helped me (love the 3 ton jack) with the go a bit, pump up the spare thing. I'll deal with it in the morning.

2. Van is full of Sturf. Does any one need a lightly loved cat tree? Some nice 1x6, stained, from a bedframe? Plastic food boxes? Xedya kindly let me take the throw away out so I can work on recycling it.

3. The leg seems to have stalled. Need to work on that.

4. Saw some more Big Bang Theory today--fun show! Thanks Chuck!

5. Nothing lifts your mood like wrestling the steering wheel, feeling the load shift, and the juddering motion jamming the dome light on..."I like this ship. It's exciting!"

6. Aaaaah. I feel loved. Thanks Ysa for the mention!

Bardic yes; steampunk no, going to spend time with Rex.

Goodnight!

Glad you didn't get hurt again!

I could use the cat tree, if you still have it. My cats have pretty much decimated what they have. I'll be at Bardic tomorrow, if we can get it into my toyota, I'd be pleased to pick it up.

It's a big one;

6' high, not a little one. I'll post pictures; if you still want it (you have first dibs) I'll bring it up some fighter practice and move it into the house.

Oh, that would be so great.
I have my cat and Teresa's Nimrod, and they really do like to scratch and climb. They have a room they "own" away from the dogs where they play a lot.

They've gone through a lot of 'trees.'

*horrified* My sturf blew up your tire AND wrecked your leg?

Oh man... I think another hug or two are in order :(


In all seriousness, though, I can't thank you enough for all the assistance and sacrifices.

Your sturf

is tied and tarped and trucked. If it isn't tamed, it's transported anyway! And the leg is not you, it's my relaxing the medical regimen, and your brother asked me how the tire was--I was given a second chance to it!

Mmmm. Tunafish sandwitches!

What is the size of the cat tree? I could probably give it a home.

OMG I NEED TO FINISH MY DAMN MUSIC FOR BARDIC! GAH!

Well,

that's one opinion. I always finished it the day off, usually rewriting each piece just before performance.

Yeah, but you write much faster than me! :-> I'm a slowpoke!

And yet, you still find time for patting friends on their worrisome little noggins. ;)

You're too far away

for the pats I would prefer.
