It Took Me Two Days to Install a Window



What started out as a simple window install didn't go exactly as planned. After nearly getting knocked out by a falling window frame, I miss measured and placed the new window frame. When I went to cut some new sides to put in I broke the plug in for my table saw.

The next day I woke up early and bought a new table saw -- I was borrowing on from my brother, and needed to buy one for myself anyway -- and some new wood for the new new wood for the new window frame. From there it was pretty easy to get everything in and ready.

Ended the day with some playtime in the kiddie pool with Turner, getting some ice-cream with the family, and going on a run. All in all I'm really proud of getting the window installed by myself. Now I can finish getting the drywall installed and start to put the trim up. Can't wait to finish this room and ready for Oona to be here.

Adventure: Trains

From time to time I like to take a drive in my car just to see what I can see. I call these little outings Adventures. It's a great way for me to unwind and just have fun with a camera and a friend. On this particular adventure, my friend Corey and I discovered some old trains.

Sunny: Cat in the Sun

I know that Cats and Rainbows and Flowers are a "no-no" when it comes to photographic standards, but I just don’t care. Why is it that people--and by people I mean “serious” photographers--think that for a photograph to be meaningful it has to depict conflict, tragedy or something altogether artsy and serious. I feel that good photos are good photos and that if I happen to be at my in-laws' house and they happen to have an extremely beautiful and expressive cat than I should by all means take pictures of it. That’s the case with this batch of images. Mock me if you want, but I stand by my belief and in doing so, I throw my hat in with Tony Mendoza. On another note, if you like what you see -- cats, rubber roosters, ducks and the occasional documented story-- you should subscribe to my blog, or at least leave me comments on what you see. Let me know what you think of the Images, or the Writing, or even me as a Person. It just helps me, as an artist, to get feed

Small: Speed Duck

Image
Everyone knows the rubber duck, the favorite bath toy of your youth. I found this at a good friend's house a few weeks ago (sorry for the ridiculously long blogging hiatus). They call it Speed Duck, they found it at some shoppe that sells a large variety of custom made rubber ducks. . . Awesome! He -my friend- is into racing and keeps this with him when he rallies (that's a type of race where a bunch of people in cars race around the woods and other such places and try not to wreck). Yeah, I don't really get it either. This is his good luck charm, which I guess works because he hasn't wrecked yet.
