A fluff of fur

Yes, that is Skippy, on his perch, sleeping. The grey fluff in the middle is the tail hanging over and the white are the back feet. He likes to sleep on top of this tall cabinet. The plant is fake so at least he doesn't eat it or hurt it. Probably pretty dusty up there except we put a towel up there for him to sleep on. He is our baby after all.

Mobile computing

I have entered the world of mobile computing. I am now the owner of a BlackBerry. The first thing to do is figure out how it works as a phone. Maybe because I have been working on computers for so long but I have always resisted technology upgrades. I took me a long time to get a new laptop. I always just wanted a cell phone that was a phone. But Mrs. wanted a new BB so why not get the two for one deal. Anyway, lots of things to figure out I guess. Twitterberry, Facebook, email and that phone thing. I am sure it will come in handy. Wonder if I can blog from it, hmmm, might have to look into that.

Lunch time

Today we met some friends that are moving to SC this weekend. Jamie is a Food Network junkie like some of us. So, we ended up at Valencia Luncheria which was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dive. Pictures of arepas, enpanadas and ceviche are above. Everything was great. Took a menu with us as it may become a new takey outy spot for us. Pics are by cell phone, forgot the good camera.

For DC, here is the play by play. Top pic is a sliced pork arepa which Mrs. had, she really liked it. She even added some cilantro sauce to it.

Next is a ceviche which had a nice note of orange. Quite tasty.

Last pic is a carne machada arepa and a chipotle pork empanada. Both could have used more spice but both the beef and pork were tender and moist. There was a nice fresh made chipotle sauce on the table which I did add. Also had a bowl of rice and beans, also good. The corn cake was moist and not too soft.

With the fame of DDD comes the crowd. It is a tiny place with maybe 7 tables. Lots of people getting take out and all the tables were full the entire time. Will definately go on the list for takeout.

Heading change

You probably didn't notice. The heading changed, yep just three more weeks till the whole process starts again. We are going to have to ice again a bit early. That means the ice installation will start around the 1st of September. A couple of cleanup project prior to the compressor going on. Our scraper blades are still in Canada at this point as well.

Everything will get done and then it will back to the cold, windowless environment that we all love so much.

Moose Hunting

Skippy on the porch

Oh, what is that, is it a moose?

A MOOSE! I will catch it and bring it to you.

Okay, so not quite. Skippy likes to go to the screened in porch at night. We always kid that he is hunting moose. Well, he does get to visit with the deer that seem to inhabit the back yard. Nice six point buck sitting about 15 feet from the back door.

Skippy spent about an hour just staring. The big brave hunter that he is.
