Random Ramblings

And a few from our trip to the Upper Peninsula in Oct:






The top photo is the Mackinac Bridge. The others are a state park we found with water falls. I know the name but can’t spell it. The falls have a native American name. Tequanemon or something I would never get the spelling right in a million years.

Oh wow, great photos!

Nice photos!

We're coming up on the 2 month anniversary of the release of The American Dream.  It must be time for a re-issue box set containing the original CD, each song on their own, individual CDs, and one song remastered, one old demo recording that sucks.  For $538.42 it would be a steal, right?

Oh! And don't forget the trading card:

Too soon!  You're supposed to wait 3 months

 It's a good thing we haven't released it yet!

Cool!  How much is shipping?

Shipping will vary depending on the day of the week, the average temperature, new moons and the like.

I’m actually going to hold out for the 6th month anniversary limited edition 8 track box set. Complete with everything above plus more “discovered” studio outtakes and practice sessions.Also holding out for a full color trading card of the image above.

Actually, that trading card is the full color version.

Trying out a new thing.  I'll let you know how it went in about 12-15 years.

That pained look on my face is lack of sleep. 

Man, I knew things were expensive, but don't ever try to get spark plugs changed on a 20178 Nissan Frontier.  I won't disclose the cost, but being something I can't do myself as you have to remove the intake manifold to get to them, I had to pay to get them changed.  The cost of labor was outrageous!  It was all labor as I had bought parts from Amazon.  I had the right size plugs that didn't cost anywhere near what name brand spark plugs do.  I also had the gaskets for the intake manifold, and the set I got were nearly $100 bucks cheaper than normal retail.  I knew what to get because the auto-mechanics teacher at school was going to do this for free at school but just kept putting me off and putting me off until I didn't think I could wait any longer.

Now let's see if he will do my low tire pressure sensor on one wheel.  If he can't, then I will be staring at a low tire light for the rest of the life of my truck!

Yeah I had to get a tire pressure light replaced and it wasn’t cheap. I hear it’s an easy fix but I just don’t have the paitience to try. I bit the bullet and paid for it.

Cars are so expensive.  I'm waiting for the time when teleportation is a real thing, that will be a great day.

Great pic, Staybrite!  2 dogs!  Wow!  When I was at home with my parents we had one dog, and it was always good fun (although my parents used to walk the dog, so that was a bonus!)  What dogs are they?

Nice to see you with the two dogs Staybrite.
What dogs are they?
They have the same ears as Matsi has.

Nice photo's you have shared with us MikeInFla'.
Photos with water are always cool.

Wow, two storms we've had.
The strong wind make so much noise.

Isn't it amazing how attached we get to our dogs or cats? Like part of the family. We've lost 2 in a year's time and it's devastating. We're contemplating a new pup as company for our current dog since she lost her friend last week. Our dog of almost 14 years passed and now Bun-E* is all alone. We feel bad for her 

* Pronounced "Bunny", but spelled Bun-E like Bun-E Carlos of Cheap Trick. Lisa picked out the name, I chose the spelling 

I don't know what I'd do without my kitty Loki. I know just how you feel.

They are brother and sister from the same litter. They are mostly Siberian Husky, but probably not pure.  We got them from a rescue dog some friend of a friend had gotten that just happened to be pregnant.   The smaller of the two is supposed to be for our son when he comes back home from the Army this June.
We had been missing the Aussie dog (Jasper) that we took care of for a year so much we could hardly stand it.  So we broke down and got another (well two for now).

Huskies are my favourite dogs!  If you're ever away on holiday, drop them round at our place, and we'll look after them for you.

I would totally do that, but I seriously doubt I could get them past customs!

Yeah we had to put a cat down back in Nov. was hard to do. We got him for our daughter when she was in kindergarten and he lived until she made it to grad school! Had a nice long life but it was his time. She wanted to keep his ashes so they put them in a box for her.
