I can’t believe it. While at work today, I slipped on a wet spot on the floor. I flung out my arms to catch myself, and although I did not hit the ground, I did manage to further injure the shoulder that I wrenched yesterday. So it looks like I’ve moved from a sprain to […]
I worked on the Portland Spirit today, and needed to get a rag out of the engine room. For reasons that are unclear, the rags are kept on a shelf over the stairs, or ladder in proper nautical terms. I say “stairs” but ladder is probably closer. They are so steep that it is difficult

My brother is in the USA! I actually spoke to him for a good five or ten minutes today. He sounds the same as always, no accidental British accent or anything. If he had started talking about cricket I would have worried.
I’ve got a lot to report, new bike, saw the new Wallace and Grommit film, made a Late Harvest Tomato soup that was great, but Rob is home, so I’m going to bed instead.
So, sometime on Friday evening my website will go down as they migrate the system to a new server. The process is supposed to take 24 to 48 hours, but I’m not sure how much of that will affect me. So please, no phone calls wondering if I’m dead when the site vanishes.

Delightful thought, alas, I can not take Rob to Regal without making the poor boy suffer. The commercials, the radio, the screen aspect ratio… Oh the awful tyranny
We actually did the foam work last week, but that was while my computer was wonky, so you’re just getting to see the pictures now. Basically, I’ve constructed Keenan’s head out of two types of foam, using different densities depending on what I need them to do. After I do that, I install the lower

Rob came home last night, unexpectedly, which was delightful. I say it was unexpected, but he did give me an hour of notice so I had a chance to make sure there weren’t any dishes in the sink. Harvest is definitely in full swing, although the rains are giving them trouble. We’re hoping I’ll be
I’ve been having some trouble with my computer for the past week. Basically, I got hit with a host of spyware and trojans that took forever to get off my machine. It meant that going online was a slow process if I could get on at all. Sure, the computer was connected, but it was
