Test Patch

I got the new appliance on the parking lot running today. After almost 7 hours the chicken came out of the smoker moist, tender and tasting like ham...with no sodium nitrate. Pretty good for a newbie...I can hardly wait to give a batch of peppers a whirl!

Problem solved

Sometimes it's hard to be a moron.

Getting around

This evening the popular zine "Smile, Hon
You're in Baltimore" is having a publication party at Atomic Books! And, because I am a contributor, it's my party too! Woo woo ! See you there!

Materials and Methods

Yesterday evening I went to a big box hardware store to fetch chunks of wood from the scrap bin, but I was told they have no scrap bin. And! They would not cut a 2X4 into small squares for me if I paid good money for it! The policy the corporation has in place prohibits employees from sawing wood into pieces shorter than 10 inches. So...back to trolling construction sites.

More stamping fun

This one broke the "CLEAR TO CLOSE" stamp. I may just "FINAL" it now.

Petty Larceny

I saw a well-dressed woman in her 60s gobbling down figs from the bin at the Whole Food store.

Making plans

Hubby gave me a smoker/grill. It needs to be assembled in advance of finding some chickens on sale.

Stamping out cats

Fun with a re-purposed sheet of packing foam and discarded block of wood.

Speaking in Code

Walking into the art supply store, the skinny boy waved and smiled in recognition. I said "JT-21s". "Ah!", he responded. "Staples! Over here.." The other clerk was still trying to figure it out as I put my quarters on the counter.

Counting our blessings

We have heat, we have coffee, we have each other and the clog that has caused the sewage backup in the basement is beyond the property line. The city is sending a crew out to fix it. We hope.
