Bye Bye birdie...
I've just discovered this year's World Wide Knit In Public Day is coming up! June 14...learn more about it here...
So sad..I've found both the male and female carolina wrens in the yard...the female was a couple of weeks ago, I was in denial that it was her, but I kinda knew it was...I didn't see both the birds zipping around, but I could hear the male singing...they mate for life, and I suspect he was calling to her...and then I stopped seeing him, and figured perhaps he had flown away to find a flock or other wrens...but yesterday, after I moved the truck, I found him...so, they are both gone...I'll prob remove their nest and try to salvage it...I'm sure either Jack or Chloe got them, my money is on Chloe cause Jack is pretty clueless...he sits in the backyard and just watches the birds at the feeder...he never tries to hunt, he just enjoys the show...Chloe and Bette Davis, they know how to hunt...but BD goes outside rarely...alas, I'm sad about the loss...
And just before I left town last week, my generator of 4 years blew a hose...and I can't find where the problem is...so, to just pick up the slack, I decided to fire up the other generator (these are machines I use to supply the air to the torch), and it worked fine last week, but now even this one is acting kinda weird...so I have to go pop the hood on that one and see if I can figure out what's wrong...it sounds like air is escaping in there as well...and the torch is 'breathing' which is where the flame goes up and down considerably as the air is supplied to it...I may be w/out 02 entirely here pretty soon if I can't get either machine to work...I can't think about that because I will go insane...
I did get one groovy bracelet made yesterday before the wheels came off...so, if you have any good mechanical skills, please send me the vibes cause while I'm pretty skilled with a screwdriver and blow torch, I really don't wanna take too long to get this resolved...
Other than that, my car is looking fan-freakin-tastic!!! Its all clean inside and out, it drives wonderfully, you can tell its peppy and happy...I opened it up (if you call 80 mph opening it up), and it flew ...I've never taken it over 80, even tho the dial registers 140mph...there's fast, and there's crazy-dangerous...I rarely speed, I might go 5 over the speed limit, but I saw 3 cops pulled folks over near my house, and I really don't need a ticket...so I got home safely, and put the new car cover on the car to keep it clean and cool...
There's my life in 200 words or less...fun, huh...
