Sick Kitty

We made a trip to Fort Worth on Wednesday

to bring Junior to the vet there. Poor Junior is in quite a state, and David is in quite THE state because of that. Junior is one of his favourites.

Being Asian and trigger happy, I took shots of "interesting" ( well, at least to ME! )stuff along the way.

Armed with our GPS. Came in very handy :)

The TV Broke

We got our huge TV a little over 3 years ago ...

( here's going down memory lane when David brought home the monster in the back of the truck )

when we first moved into our little house in Abilene. It is a Samsung DLP that works off of a lamp/light source and a gazillion micro mirrors in its innards.

ANYWAY, we were watching an oldie on TCM yesterday, when all of the sudden there was this loud POP/CRACK sound, and the TV went blank.. Then, there was this kinda metallic smoky smell. The "smart system" deal on the TV started showing one of those triangular ! signs, with a little digital light bulb next to it. So we lost the light source...

We had purchased a protection plan for the TV, but have to wait till tomorrow to call the service number to get a replacement bulb, seeing how it's Sunday.

So today, David had to watch his beloved Dallas cowboys on the backup TV which we had to borrow from the RV :)

Post Christmas Blehness

I can't help...

but feel a little deflated after the holiday season. Oh well, there's always the Valentine craze to look forward to.. *laugh*

ANYWAY, here's a pic of Tyler with his gold medal for football, where the Munday Moguls won State in their division, with a record 15 - 0 undefeated season... w00t, go Moguls!

As usual, we had Christmas lunch at Walter's, and then had leftovers over at Judith's house, where I got roped into playing Mexican Train with the girls while David tried to solve the wireless connection problem with Judith's new laptop.

After that, we went driving around town to see Christmas lights :)Not much of a post this time, but suffice to say, it was a bit of a disappointing time because I couldn't get to go to California ( logistical nightmare at home here ) to be with my family, but hey, there's always Jumbledmind's wedding in July to look forward to!

But thanks be to God!
He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Building a Second Cattery

First of all, we got a new reciprocating/sabre saw.

The cordless kind. And this is what the instructions say for the battery charger

And I quote,

"The light will stay on as long as the battery is in the charger and the charger is plugged into a working outlet. It WILL NOT flash, go out or change to a different color when the charging cycle is complete"

Like, how idiotic is THAT? So I will have NO idea IF or WHEN it's done charging? Boo.

On the other hand, the saw was very useful when it came to some trickier precision work, so I guess you gotta take the bad with the good.

Here's the cattery building in progress :

Come to me and I will give you rest --
all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke.
Wear my yoke -- for it fits perfectly --
and let me teach you; for I am gentle and humble,
and you shall find rest for your souls;

Matthew 11: 28-29
