Long Overdue Facelift and Update

Wow. I took a look at my last post. September 29. Haha.

So much has happened since then. If you read this I assume you know me because this isn't that interesting of a read. Moving on, since September I got a job working at TVMDL (Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Labs) in the Serology department. We've also rearranged the house a bunch of times and I tried (and more or less failed) to convert some standard nerf guns into awesome looking and higher powered versions. I haven't given up completely, but I have put it away for now. The last time I tried I couldn't get the mechanism working when I put it back together so I rage quit.

If you didn't notice, Ricci made me a sweet header for the blog. It's actually blueprints from the Batmobile. How sweet is that?

From now on this blog will be more about actual projects and plans. It seems dumb to say that but it wasn't actually about that before. Right now I'm working on a couple of things. Ricci and I tried to set up an herb garden but Grimm decided that he thought it looked better when he dug up the mulch and tore apart the tarp underneath. So now I have to keep pulling out weeds. Eventually I'll get it put back in order and we'll plant some things. But there's no rush since he also managed to eat or destroy all of the seedlings Ricci was growing to plant out there. For a couple photos of the traumatic incident look here. Keep in mind the photos were taken the same day.

I also have the wood cut to make a 4 x 8 raised bed for veggies in the backyard, but after the last incident, I'm not sure I want to put anything back there until I have a shock wire or something to keep Grimmace the Menace out.

I did finish making bottle cap checker boards. One for myself and three that I made for Christmas presents. I like them but again, a lot of work so it might be a while, or at least a really special occasion before I make another.

I'm not sure when, but at some point we bought, and put together a cheap set of bookshelves to hold most of our books. That's all I can think of for now. I'll keep a list of my projects on the right so maybe I'll do a better job of keeping this updated. We'll see. I think I've used almost all of my tags in this post, haha.
