just to let my friends know that if you have noted me or posted a comment to me in the last few days and i have not responded its not because i got drunk and passed out in the garden shed...again.. no its something to do with the new version of DA, as far as i can tell. i haven't received notification of any  kind in about 4 days and unless i just happen upon your message i have no way of knowing blah, blah, blah,... i have come across some so i know it s a case of lack of notification and not just because i have been forgotten
also you guys should check this out, give this guy  a listen Cloud Tissa... hes pretty laid back and it really suits my mood of late. let me know what you think...

so begins my what 3rd week of not working at a job. i have not been wasting this time. i have been using it as a learning experience.
i have come to realize, theres a lot of crap to do around the house, especially when you have a wife who likes pointing the stuff out to you.
that sleepy pants are the best all purpose clothing ever made. i used to hear from the Vietnam vets that the locals there wore pajamas all the time. i'm thinking they were very smart people.
i've learn that it is possible to fall asleep while pulling weeds.
i found that just because the shoes you put on are both black, does not mean that they are a matching set.
also that Daisy is a shameless ho who loves teasing the male cats of the hood. " My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard"
i mentioned that i was trying to learn how to use a sling... that thing David used to kill Goliath...i had reached a point where the rocks went mostly in the general direction that i wanted and i found out that David must not of had arthritis, my shoulders very sore now.
i thinking about getting a hammock...
i think that the Bush incentive plan was just his way of giving Chevron money from the treasury, think about it.
okay i'm losing focus.
oh yeah one more think. i was out back slinging rocks thinking what a bad ideal it was because my arm was aching when i got a visit. i had been slinging towards the woods which i though was pretty harmless except for the trees maybe. (sounds pretty cool when they smack into a tree.) anyways i was standing rubbing my arm when a bird flies over and lites on the back of a yard chair a few feet away and began singing. i don't know if it was the same guy from the carport or not, same color but the tail looked normal.  maybe they're just getting used to me being about or maybe it was telling me to quit throwing rocks  through his crib.

alright there was much more interest in this little guy than i would of thought so i decided to update. i thought at first this guy had just been abandoned by his mom but i was wrong i think. there has been at least two birds  who have shown an interest in him. bringing him things to eat and maybe even coaching him to get his ass going or maybe just a mom soothing her child. yeah i'm a sentimentalist, or a wuss maybe. even though he didn't seem able to get around so well at first he has been getting better. he was flying short distances but still seemed determined to stay under my carport and sleep in my utility room.  that all changed today when my son had his first day off in a week and spent a lot of time working on one of his projects (a hand bellows for a forge  ) okay anyway apparently she/he has moved out from the carport and into a planting of Leyland Cypress close by and will not let me get around him/her. this is a nice sized group of trees that give good cover for birds(i think) and it must be a fav hangout cause there must be a dozen wrens living there. so i guess my little guy has moved on and to be honest i'm relieved. i think hes getting better at flying, i had wondered if my activity earlier in the week had made the mom try and force her brood out to soon , before they were ready. maybe thats all it is. these guys build their nest all over around my house. on the front porch in my planters and hanging baskets. in my rubber boots, the green house rafters. i'm going to try and read up on them and make some nesting boxes or something someplace they're be unmolested.. don't know if it'll do any good though. anyway juniors moved out and i thought i'ld let you know. peace

so everyone knows i got time for goofing off on the comp now, as opposed to before where i didn't have time and did it anyway. i got an unusual deal going that i haven't run into before.
last week i discovered a little bird had made a nest under my carport in an old hat i left on a shelf. she had 3 babys and has been doing the usual feeding stuff. well i had planned to clean the carport and the utility room this week but the mom was raising so much of a ruckus with me for being around the babys i figured i could give her a few days . so yesterday i saw her apparently giving preflight instructions to them and shortly there after they were all gone. except for one little fat guy(or fluffy maybe) who's not picking it up to quick. i kept an eye on him last evening till after dark and he just hopped and fluttered around the carport but didn't venture out any further. i worry about the neighbors cats who i've had to run off a few times.
  well anyway i looked out this morning around sun up and he was still sitting there but a little later i went out and he was gone. good i said and started cleaning up the place. i worked for about an hour when theres a fluttering sound and he comes back and lights on my garden tiller right next to me chirping and holding his mouth open like hes waiting to be fed. i try to ignore him but hes following me around even into the utility room. sitting there and waiting for some food i'm sure. WTF i think i sure ignore him and let nature handle it, but nature can be pretty cruel. i think this is what type bird he (she) is.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina… i don't really see much i can do but ignore , or maybe hold off on the cleaning for another day. would be cool to have a pet bird though... naw doubt Daisy would go for it, or maybe she would. what do you think?

as of this past Friday i'am officially unemployed. i think a WOOHOO!!! might be appropriate here but i'm a little afraid i'll like jinx myself or something. i also don't want people to think i believe unemployment to be a funny situation. its just that the job i was on and i've been with this company since 85 ,the job has went to shit. it was a really excellent place to work when i started and was pretty proud of the fact i had gotten on with them. alas time goes buy and so do owners. it passed thru several different hands and without going into details the last owners were a bunch of dicks. nuff said
now its the beginning of june and i have 6 months of full benefits from my unemployment insurance which isn't exactly raking it in but it ain't bad for screwing around for the summer.
so now i got to keep myself occupied and avoid getting fat and lazy... or fatter and lazier. i got my garden and my green house and of course my art. also i've been doing just ...stuff. i made myself a sling (like the one David capped Goliath with and i've been practicing humming rocks in a field out back. you know if you get enough spin on the thing the rocks do hum as they go thru the air. i've reached a point where for the most part the rocks go in the direction that i'm facing...about 90 percent of the time. i was smart enough to stay way clear of the green house when i do this . okay what else oh yes i made a couple of knifes, not since last Friday but in the last month or so while i was suppose to be preparing things at work to be moved up north to a different plant. i had to keep my priority's straight. anyway i think they turned out pretty good and i'll post a pic of them. why not. its a little like art. i know Manuels into swords and so is the Judge and maybe you to Kip but i'm not sure and knifes are similar. anyhow i'm going to post it so live with it.  okay i guess thats enough boring stuff so i'm going to bed. oh yeah i knocked my big toe nail off on my left foot today, ot kind of flipped it off somehow and i had to take it off the rest of the way. it wasn't as bad as it sounds because i have a lot of nerve damage in that foot so its pretty insensitive ... so maybe i rushed into going barefoot for the next 6 months a little to fast. i threw this last bit in so Kip will know shes not the only accident prone person out there. at least i haven't set the kitchen on fire making pizza rolls yet... not naming any names here but she knows who she is. :lmao; okay i'm going to bed for sure now... Daisys getting impatience.
