I’ve never seen a white squirrel. THAT’S cool!

When we lived in Michigan we had a lot of squirrels. Just not white. Here in the valley of California, we’ve seen not one.

Albino anything are not adapted to there surroundings and don’t last long in the wild. That’s one lucky squirrel!

This is how you get carpel tunnel. Program called Paint Shop Pro 7th Anniversary. Been using it since 2000. Had to zoom way in, to get 1 pixel at a time, for the outline, then expand to 5 pixels to make the line thicker, then 20 pixels, and finally 50 pixels to fill it in.

Then there’s a “retouch” tool to go around the edges to blend in. My hand is numb from the mouse. Took me 4 hours!

That’s my oldest grand son. His wife is carrying our 1st great granddaughter, “DIP”. 23 years old, now.

This one is a little older, pretty much just looks like this though. I think this was before I added poly. Couldnt find the other picture.

Sweet! So where do the shelves with the bottle size cutouts go?

I don’t want to try opening the front of the door and knock it over, the door is way too heavy on the front lol. Here’s a shot of the shelves from the back, I left the back open because it’s going to be against the wall anyway. I only put in about four shelves so far, I need to make two more. The other ones I made, ended up being too short. I made them all the same length, but I didn’t account for the boards on the sides being slightly warped, so it became slightly wider towards the middle to the bottom.

Yeah… the screws… so, the first time I tried to hang it up it kind of broke the drywall. It would have probably stayed up, but for whatever reason the screw wouldn’t go into the drywall and it pushed the whole thing out and cause a little hole in the wall. I patched it, and I got drywall anchors. I’m just procrastinating.

The boards on the back are for supporting the whole thing in mounting it to the wall.

Part of the reason I kind of sort of felt like giving up on the woodworking thing, I need a pretty expensive dust collector. The Shop-Vac is just so loud, so obnoxiously loud I feel a horrible using it because I don’t want to disturb the neighbors. I want to get a dedicated dust collector that specifically made for woodworking but it’s like $400. I just put that on hold for now, because 90% of what I’m working on is usually sanding.

WAIIIIIT, a minute! You’ll show someone else pictures, when I’ve been demanding them for how long?

I’m not feeling the love, girl! Here I thought we had a thing going on, Mrs. Jones! :innocent:

Why do you call yourself mediocre? You rock!!! You have serious skills, ambitions, a GREAT job, in which your doing a great job!!! You have integrity (My favorite word) you look out for complete strangers, risk life and limb for them… You are the exact opposite of mediocre. You are superlative, distinguished, and first class! PLEASE respect yourself as much as I respect you!

I speak from 81 years of experience. Minus the years I couldn’t speak. Or think. Or understand.

Something in your life brought you down. I know. I’ve been there. In a way, I’m still there. I choose to say, “Fuck y’all” You can’t bring me down any farther! I rise above you. My mother literally beat blood outta my ass cheeks. 'Ya know what? She’s been gone 30 years. As the song says, “I’m still standing, after all these years…”

As some weirdo said on an info-mercurial. “You can do-eet”. Some exorcise bike, I dunno remember. But you gotta fan, and a supporter, okay. PLEASE feel free to message me if/when you need a “pick me up”. I just have this feeling, okay?

Some little photo edits from this last weekend.

This was a random stop a few years ago from an Oregon coast trip I did. I still can’t believe how bright the water reflection is.

This is a photo of my adventure pup from last weekend’s trip to the Japanese garden here in Portland Oregon. Bailey looks so serious. :rofl:

From my latest adventure to Mt Hood in Oregon. Today’s photos are a bit blurry. Normally I don’t shoot wildlife photography and forgot to boost up the shutter speed. And well…my night photos were my first time shooting in the clouds and getting focus didn’t work out so well. Granted, it’s still cool…but lesson learned that I need to shoot will more moon light if doing clouds at night.

And this would be sunset where I was able to catch a hole in the clouds.

Than you! The mt hood (first pic) was my favorite to take…I got to watch the whole cloud inversion (when the clouds move in and sink down to the valley) move in from the left to the right.

I’ve already moved all of the stuff from the phone for editing but here are some trees that we ten feet from me…
