Believe me, its' all about the bird honey.

Another holiday all-nighter in the turkey trenches. Dad is stopping by for dinner and work on Surfside web site, let's hope it stays civil, with Dad you never know. Dori is getting ready for work while I am in melting down mode, I know I forgot something, either way its' too late to worry about it now. Ms. Kitty is pacing back and forth wondering the turkey is going to be done, poor girl she's worrying herself to death. I thought I'd try cornbread stuffing this year (I made regular, just in case) I laid down just for a quick nap and the next thing I know its' eight am, I was supposed to finish the bird at one thirty and at 25lbs. this thing won't be done until two thirty in the afternon (still early but not early enough).

The pictures for family online scrapbook are almost done, there will be over three hundred in all. Made up of mostly pictures from my Mom's side of the family, this has been a tour de force for color correcting, the originals have that bad seventies textured paper you know the photos that have the rounded corners. They like to reek havoc on the scanner. There are little dots all over the images common problem for these type of images, not to mention the tobacco stains, it was the seventies and almost everybody smoked, Yuck...

Carving pumpkins, visiting old friends and the band played on

Carving pumpkins at Jamie's place, well we started anyway, he had some unique patterns to carve which got wondering what was out there on the interwebs. and found everything from Michael Jackson thriller to the harley davidson eagle, I'm sure I'll find something. Ray came over to checkout Jamie's new computer, and is still re-couperating from his surgery and to hear him say it his nuts were on fire, He tried to heal to quickly. Visited with the Family it was a milestone the whole immediate family was there, video to follow. Surfside Dance site is in progress we have a bunch of cool graphics and people offering memories and pictures. It's given Dad something to do and he's loving it. We came up with promos for the site as well as some poll ideas, Its' really coming together. Mental note get classic car links...More to come

Snow Leopard ready. Unlimited Productons makes a come back. Rock and Roll in the immediate future....

The computer is still running fine it survived snow leopard install and is a great deal quick as well. Been helping dad with his site layout, it seems the "Disc Jockey too wild for radio"is making a come back and is rocking the facebook. I have to search out for all the those who used to hung out at the old Surfside dance in Round Lake Illinois back at the original twilight of rock and roll.

Work commences on the DVD site and we can't wait to finally finish it and get on with the particulars of setting up the marketing. I have been looking into getting everybody to pitch in on, with promises of their own disc for services. Hopefully Jamie and Ray can get their computers lined up and we can go live, God willing, in a month.

Band has just landed a gig, a pig roast in Kenosha, well kind of a gig its at our new female singer's house. Julie will probably do a few numbers at the gig hope so.

Working no time to write.

Better busy than not I have been doing several things at once. A lot of late nights reading Yuck, I just started getting the hang of CSS and hope to implement it on personal site then move it to commerce. Dori can't wait finally the desk will be clean... :-)

Catching up on Blog

Being busy lately I finally had a chance to get free to check posts.
Having a get together with friends tomorrow can't wait. My brother is now engaged I can't believe it he told facebook before he told me hmmm.
SO I will have a new sister in-law to meet.

And it continues

Learning proper CSS and how to read Japanese ha ha. Its almost like the same thing. Back to the books and refresh on those HTML skills.

Just jamming on new Michael McDonald CD

Just jamming on Soul Speak Micheal McDonald CD it features one of my favorite Drummers Yvette "Baby Girl" Preyer. I saw these guys in 2005 and danced until I almost dropped they put on a great show and the Drummer is one of the best! Being a drummer my self I am a Pearl Drum Guy but I really loved what Yvette did on the Yamaha set she played on.

Sniff Sniff

Cough Cough.... I'm going back to bed.

Ah the futon is set up

We finally finished assembling the new futon and it is nice. Solid wood even the drawers look nice. We wound up with extra bolts but everything is where it's supposed to be.. Hmmm Ms Kitty seems to like it she's been sleeping on it every night.

The New Futon is here

Our new Futon frame has arrived and boy what a chore to assemble. I know what I'll be doing for the next two days LOL...
More to come.

Back to Shoveling

Ahhh Just when the deck was cleaned and before we rented the pressure washer, thank god, we get another 8 inches of fresh snow, Boy I wished Dori skied. One good bonus of having a spouse that works at blockbuster is that when we are snowed in there's plenty of movies to watch. Ms. Kitty wanted to go outside but didn't take to the snow that well. Dori is baking a batch of cookies for some soldiers in Iraq, one of them is a friend's of ours son. Now if I can get the cost of mailing a box of cookies half way around the world we'll be set.

Thawing for the spring

In anticipation of spring I am clearing off the deck and getting ready to power wash. We ordered the futon frame today, which is good because the old one about ready to give out LOL. Ms. Kitty (pictured below) Is up to her old tricks she has taken to demanding her water from the trickling bath tub faucet, which is fine during the freezing cold, because we drip it to keep pipes from freezing. But during the warmer temperatures this is not needed and she is not very happy about that.

Flash training continues and I'm getting ready to dive into masking and the "time line" I predict that I will be very busy over this weekend.
More to come.....

Ahhh so the blogging Begins

A little late to the game but still in it I have begun my blog I swore I'd would never have enough to write to justify one of these, but my niece has started on for the sake of keeping everyone updated with what is going on with her and her family and I thought I'd give it a try. More to come.
