finally, time to be a geek!
Finally, after 3 months, I have time to totally geek out. So, after spending hours at LazyLaces, I've finally gotten around to writing something here.
Work has been crazy, but sorta cool. I've been spearing a project to build a large-scale flame testing facility. Whoo hoo! I get to burn things for work. Sometimes I love my job. Like last week, when I had to go to a fireworks store and buy smoke bombs to test our ventilation system. That is going to make for one odd expense report. But this place is going to be popular... I've already been asked to put in a proposal to expand it, so I can burn new and different things. Good thing we have windows for the curious to leave their nose prints upon.
Two months ago, we got Finnegan the danger puppy. He's now about 4 months old, but he's a BIG puppy. 40 pounds or so. And feet the size of beer coasters. Talun won this one - he got the big black dog he wanted. Looks like he's going to be over 100 lbs by the time he's finished growing. Oh, and he has jowls. Drool. Yay. At least we don't have to put a bib on him... yet. So far he doesn't shed any worse than the cats, so I might get one out of my three dog criteria (significantly smaller than me, no drooling, and minimal shedding.) He and Oberon (the boy cat) are best friends and playmates. Now if we can just teach Finn that it's only Oberon that loves to play with him and get all slobbery... Kublah (my old girl kitty) is not crazy about Finn, but tolerates him because he keeps Oberon busy, and Mini-Me (our neighbor's cat that looks just like Oberon, but smaller) doesn't like to play at all. Not that Finn can reach him when he's 20 feet up a tree :)
now, to see what everyone else has been up to...
