There are some whom feel that it is the fortunate's place to give them everything they want. They hold their cup and shake their bell to force us to do our duty.

Oh Well! Happy Holliday from Grandma Noseus

Up until now, me and the Babe have had a pretty up for grabs computer space. The Babe took the desk.

And I took the big easy chair. Me and the pups and the computer all cuddled up in that big chair. Not very efficient but cozy none the less.

We had talked about what kind of space we deserved and finally came up with the plan.

The three lower cabinets were for a kitchen. I cut 3 1/2 inches off the bottom to bring them close to a real desk height. For the work top, we used two doors. The upper cabinets were just the right width for the room and we had about an inch gap on both sides at the wall.

The Babe has the space to the left and I to the right. Plenty of room for storage and stuff. It all looks pretty orginized but it's only been one day.

We are not expecting a big surge in productivity so don't get your hope's up.

A bath on a Saturday night would sure cool you off. A splash with a bar of soap and a brush out on the back porch would be a good way to end the day.

When I was a little kid sometimes we would go to the pool. But there were a lot of days when mom would set up two tubs in the yard and fill them with water. By the afternoon the water would be warm and me and my brother would splash until the water was gone, and that was the end of that. We would be clean and cool for a while.

The plan was to plant a buffer between the homestead and it's nearest neighbor. They are nice people but this is the country and what did we come for?

I alligned the plants the way that it looked like we would get the most advantage. That was when it happened. Here came the Babe. She was upset and did not like the alignment. Well I thought we could work it out and proceeded to make changes. The solution worked and I finished the planting.

I went in for a cool down and the Babe was doing likewise. That was when It happened. Out of the blue the Babe says "you have an evil eyebrow and that is why we are not getting along" DANG! I thought I was just stupid. She said the first condition just makes the second worse.

Now this is where it really got bad. I turned to move on with my extremly sorry life and she came at me weilding a pair of sissors. She said that if she cut off the bushey hair that made my eyebrow evil,the universe would be calmed and all would be right with the world.

Thinking quickly that the Babe with a pair of sissors charging at me was not a good thing I made the Ultimate Sacrifice. Quickly grabbing the bushey eyebrow, I plucked out the offending hair.

Immediatly, the ripple in the force of the universe calmed and all was right with the world. Who would have thought?

At this Taste of the Fair we were able to walk in the sunshine and sample all kinds of tasty stuff that you don't normaly get.

We had curry in cups, goat on sticks, rice and beans with all kinds of sauce. Stuff from Inda, Africa, China and everywhere. If you look real close you will see the spatereings of the days delights on our dotty shirts.

Now this was a good day but back in the real world I am still craving the taste. This morning I had a bagal with orange marmalade and red curry. This is great! The next time I make marmalade, it will have a big jolt of curry. Wowza Yowza!!!!

One time me and my dad were on a cross country bicycle trip. A terrible storm came up just as we were at the top of the mountain. There was no shelter so we did the best we could. We crawled in under some low bushes just as the storm hit. Wind, thunder, lightning and did I mention rain. The storm lasted about 20 min and when we crawled out of our burrow we were completly dry. What do you suppose the chance of that happening?

Pilgram
Originally uploaded by stogscrow.

I was a little kid and it was around Thanksgiving.
At school they were going to have a Thanksgiving play. You know, pilgrim's, indians, turkeys and stuff like that.

Well they had talked about it for weeks and I really wanted to be in the play. We all set around as the teachers made the cast selection. At the end of the selection process all of the spots were filled but there were a bunch of us still sitting there. We were disapointed and feeling bad about the outcome.

I was really disapointed because I had really had my heart set on being in that play. We set there and oviously no one was worried about our feelings. I stood up and the kids around me looked at me. I raised my hand, no one noticied. I wiaved my hand, no one noticed. I shouted out, Hey!. Everyone turned to look at me.

Now I thought, what a mistake but it was too late. Yes! what do you want? I want to be in the play! Well there are no parts left so there is no way.
I stood there dumbfounded. My mouth opened and I started to talk.
the words came slow and painful at first but then I got in my goove.

I said that I had really looked forward to being in the play and that I could do a good job. They looked at me and said no part, no play.

I stood there for a few minutes with everyone looking and then I started to talk. My path was clear and I spoke with great strength and a red face.

If I cant be in the play then there is no good reason to be in school. Ok now it was out and they all looked dembstruck. With that I turned and walked out of the room. Not only did I leave the room, I left the building and walked all the way home. Oh My God! What have I done, mom is going to be pretty mad.

When I got home and told my mom, she didnt say anything, she just gave me lunch.

After a little while the phone rang and guess what. They had found a part for me and that I should come back to school. The kids thought that the whole event had been pretty funny.

The part they gave me was a non speaking part, just part of the background which was good for me.

As you can see from the picture that my mom made me a pilgrim suit and I was happy as a clam.

Originally uploaded by stogscrow.

These are a pair of boomerangs that I made for my Dad. He doesnt fly them much anymore because when he trys to catch the return he gets knocked down. And then, you guessed it, he cant get up.

The black one is a good flyer but the grey one is a non returning boomerang, commonly refered to as a stick. When I first made them I took them for the test flight and the black one came right back. I was overjoyed. All full of myself I threw the grey one, it sailed out about 3 feet off the ground and then just kept going. Clear out of sight! I was dumbstruck. After much cursing and rooting thru the weeds I found it. I gave them both to my dad, thinking that he couldnt throw them so far that he couldnt find them.

Bomerangs were developed by the aboriginal people probably in more than one culture. The boomerang probably started out as a throwing stick to kill game. One of the sticks may have had a flat profile which made it come back.
What an advancement in tech.

So you have got your boomerangs and your sticks.

Didgeridoo
Originally uploaded by stogscrow.

I have always thought that aboriginal artifacts, stuff, was really cool. Musical instruments and art, stuff.

I have made boomerangs, bullrorars and didgeridoos. I make these things out of whatever I can find laying around and then paint them in the aboriginal style. I have a lot of fun with this.

This is a Didgeridoo that I made out of 2" PVC pipe. I found that a 4' section gave it just the right sound. Since this is just a hollow tube I had to make a mouthpiece . The traditional mouthpiece is made from bee's wax. I went to the hobby store and found a block. Now the trick is to get it soft and before it gets hard to form it into a comfortable mouthpiece.

Now using automotive primer I painted it and for the finishing touch I painted a small lizzard in the middle. I realize that the picture is not very good but you can look at my flicker pictures to see a larger size and a detail shot.

Now the piece is finished, I am satisfied with the way it looks and I think I will give it a try. This should be easy, NOTTTTTTT!!!!
The idea is to keep a tone going while still breathing. So it is kind of like a bagpipe that uses your cheeks for the bag. Blowing thru the tube and breathing thru your nose all at the same time. I finally was able to master this.

Now I have two stories for you.

The aboriginal story says that way back in the dreamtime there was no moon and there were no stars. the night was very dark. A man and his family lived in the bush and to comfort and protect his family at night he gathered loads of wood so he could keep a fire going all night long. This fire would warm his family ad keep the beasts away.
After one of these fires he saw a piece of log that had not burnt up. The center had burnt out of this log and left a nearly hollow tube. To clear the tube he blew into it and this was the first time that the world heard the sound of the didgeridoo. The gods or god heard the sound and wondered what the racket was. To see better they let the moon and stars shine. This is how the didge and the moon and stars came to be.

Now the second story.

After I masterd the didg the babe said that I should come to the womans club and give a demo. Well after much consideration I gave in. Mistake!!

When I walked in carrying my didge, they didnt even stop talking. The only reason they had come was for the dinner and to talk louder than everyone else. Well in this babble I set down and started to play, not a lot of intretst. But on I played till I was red in the face and dizzy in the head. Finally I settled down to play for my self.

About that time, the kitchen doors swung open and there stood a tall, dark skinned man who was obviously not from around there. He pushed his was thru the gaggle wiping his hands on a large towel. He stood before me with the largest grin on his face and then sat down and listened and talked while I played. He was from Australia and had not expected to hear the sound of a didge in this place.

This unexpected happening made my day.

I must be going nuts, and then again Hey! Mister Scarecrow! Can we come over? Ok this time the tools go down and I start to look. Close at first and then farther away. Again, Hey! Mister Scarecrow! Can we come over?
And finaly there they were, standing at the property line. The two neighbor boys were setting on their bicycles wanting to come over. Well, come on down. And here they came just tearing on those new bicycles.

After a good game of twenty questions, I got my bike out and we had a good ride in the woods. They were surprised to say the least.

After a while, having about all the bike riding I could take, the bigger boy said. Where's the bathroom? I said " at your house" Well they started for home but then stopped by a tree. I said Hey! the Babe aint gonna like that.

I am pretty sure that I havent seen the last of this pair.

They are made of wood with a long string and you swing them in a circle around your head. The wood piece spins and winds up and then unwinds creating a very loud sound.

Sometimes my three bean soup only has two beans in it. Bwahahahahaha!!!

I am a recovering, capital budget abuser.
5.
One time I saved aluminum cans and sold them for cash. To boost the weight I added a rock to each can before it was crushed.
6.
When I have to go to the hospital or emergency room, I sit away from others and don't make eye contact. Those people are sick!!
7.
One time I broke my leg and went to the emergency room. A guy came in who had cut his finger off and had it in a baggie. I felt, I should be helped first because the finger looked like it had a clean cut.
8.
I used to pick up dog poop from my yard and fling it over the fence. Bwahahahaha!
9.
Sometimes I say I don't remember, even when I do.
10.
When I was about 18 I was nearly thrown out of an extremly wild roller coaster ride. The only thing that saved me was when a very large black woman grabbed me around the neck and crushed me to her bosom, saying" dont worry honey i'll save you" . Whoever you wer, wherever you are. Thanks!

Here is the first addition of the everyday gormet.
Today we are having, Garlic and herb Oatcakes with a grape garnish. The prompting for this delight came from Bubble Gum
You make regular oatmeal using steel cut oats. As they are cooking you add garlic and herb seasoning. When the oats are cool you cut patties and fry them in olive oil.

You can eat them with honey or orange marmalade, per, ian russell .

This is some really good eats!

Here they are, the Scarecrow and the Bud Man. These two are as thick as thieves, Best Buds. There is no telling what kind of trouble they are planning.

These are the guys that your mom didn't want you to hang around with. Trouble by association, I know you remember.

Keep a close eye on this pair.

OK, Boys and Girls, Today we will create our very own facimile of the new Coke Blak.

Take a glass and put some ice in it.
Then add 2 tbsp of expresso syrup.

Get ready 1 2 3 start to pour in the classic coke.
Now it gets a little messy here because there will be lots of thick foam. If you are on your toes you should be able to suck up the mess before it gets out of hand.

Recap:
1 coke classic + 2 tbsp expresso syrup =
a messy coke blak

This new product will be called Yowza Cola.

The caffine in the coke and the syrup plus the loads of sugar will give you a triple whammey that you wont soon forget.

Please prepare yourself's for Mixology 202, when we will continue to hone your mixing skills.

Make of it, What you will!

Here it is early in the spring, when a young robot's thoughts turn to love. Mr Bot says that "there is simply nothing as wonderful as messing about in boats". Mrs Bot says "I think I have to go to the bathroom" Young Bot says" When do we eat" Bird and fish Bot's say "Geez!!!!!"

Happy Day

What makes a day, better than the rest?

Well for me it starts off with a big breakfast of hot oat cakes. Make these out of steel cut oats. Yum Yum!!

Then it's off to the lake for a sail. This is not my boat but it is a little hard for one guy to sail and then get the second view piont. Yo Ho My Hearties Yo Ho!! And really bad eggs are we!

Can it get better? You bet!

When I get home there is a package in the mail. In the package are a pair of raven cards. It was my Fate to have a good day!

The package also contained a jar of orange marmalade. This was extremly timely because I had run out and had not taken the time to replenish my stash. Oh Yummy!!

Now the last item, not seen here, was a bag of pumpkin seeds from a really big pumpkin. This pumpkin was one that we bought in Ilinois for Halloween. I thought I could grow some prize winning pumpkins.
The reason these seeds are not shown is because when I opened the package it was really stinkey and had to keep them outside till planting. Yuk Yuk!

All the Happy day stuff came from Joy Eliz. YaaaaaaHooooo!!!

Now the Happy Day had one more surprize. When the Babe got home, she had a four pack of Coke Blak Yowza, Yowza, Yowza,Yowza!!!!!

Bad Boy, Bad Boy where ya gonna go. I caught this bad boy on his way somewhere. He wasn't wasting no time. When I saw him I had to run for the camera and he nearly got clear away from me before I got back. He was on a mission and wouldnt stop or pull his head in as I messed with him. You can see a notch in the rear skirt of hes shell. Wonder what kind of trouble he got into?

Who knows what kind of battle he was in.
