Jeeze, do I gotta do everything? Okay - I'll come a day early and put up the security cameras, too. If I'm gonna do this creepy stalker thing, I'm gonna do it right.

By the way, do you have a crawl space, a basement, or a bassment?

house is on a raised elevation foundation, because I have Ash Creek running through my yard, but I am not sure Critter will like you under there. I had a baby raccoon in my house a couple years ago. It had been mauled by something, and came in through the cat door, looking for food. I caught it, nursed it back to health, and turned it loose. It lives under the house, and I leave food out for him..
He is cool to have around...except when he gets on my upstairs deck in the middle of the night, and wakes me up

My theme song is Fever Dream from the 300 soundtrack. I like to crank it up and walk, slow motion, through the house.

I'm a science teacher. I have "the stink eye" down pat.

Where do I apply?

Well that covers points 4 & 5, but what about the rest? You're theme song should have some sort of lyrics that at least allude to your evil attitude. (holy hell....what thread is my theme song posted in...lol)But good start anyway.
We'll have to find something to battle over.
Also, Lee reminds me with his cat (and raccoon, now as I'm writing), that it helps is you have some sort of interesting pet (huge extra points if it's something you created in a lab) with either a power, unique look, and/or general bad attitude towards anyone but you.
Science teacher is an excellent alter ego to exist under when we're not doing some sort of hero vs. villain thing. :smug:

I don't even own one of those videos. As for video gear, there is only one TV in my whole house, and it has not been on since the Christmas. The TV room is the least used room in my house...Kind of ironic..I buy a 65 inch TV, and my daughter is the only one who uses it...
as for security cams... I can get a little redneck there. I have game cams. Considering that I had a bear in my garbage last week, that is probably my greatest security problem

gees, you ask a guy who lives in the mountains, and doesn't even lock his doors if he is going to install security cameras?

Why did you throw away a perfectly good bear? :eyebrow::D

Oh you. Lololol


Random Event: playing my first show with the new band tonight! It's a pretty small place, very "punk" so I'm not sure if I'm over doing it with the preparedness but I'm bringing my standard gig disaster kit: Main bass, backup bass, regular amp, sansamp DI, roll of ductape, spare 9 volt, AC adapter, toolkit that fits in my case, 3 cables and about 60000 picks.

Everything fits in my case besides the amp so I don't think that's over doing it right?

I didn't see wrist restraints or ball-gag on your disaster list. How do you expect to keep the mouthy drunk girl under control? Plus - when you tie her up to your amp and gag her, tips go WAY up. Drunk guys LOVE that kind of thing.

And so will she after a song or two.

Oh that reminds me....I actually have my ACE wrist brace because sometimes my wrist hurts like a mother out of nowhere...that's kinda like a restraint. Also duct tape can be a gag AND/OR restraints. :smug:

IF you want to come rescue that bear you are welcome to do so... She is kinda big, and maybe not so fluffy, but you still might like her


Joking aside, she is blonde. I have never seen one in the wild as light as she is. Real honey colored blonde

and BTW...The cougar on my deck last year was bothersome. That one had to go

Were you too old for her? Wait..you meant the big cat, right?

My parents (who live in VA) keep telling me that the wildlife on the mountain have come back with a vengeance. While growing up, the only wildlife that I saw was grouse, squirrel, and turkey. Seems the bear and deer population have boomed and are increasingly daring.

Woohoo, my mug and stein just showed up.

Been crazy busy on a volunteer project I do once a year. And at work, short week. I get to do 5 days work in 4 days.

Lee, take a pic of the air scrubber, like to see what it looks like finished. I helped build one in a fish frying factory back in the 70's, it had a cyclonic action to eliminate grease particles from the air. Cool project.

My machining and welding skills were decent back then, Steel, MIG, stainless fabrication. Had fun with it.
 
#451
at the moment the air scrubber design is proprietary... I am afraid no pics or I violate a non disclosure agreement/contract

I can tell you that this one is to take dangerous levels of nitrous oxide out of the air

Now I've got "Weird Science" stuck in my head.


Plastic tubes and pots and pans
Bits and pieces!
Bits and pieces!




My creation!
Is it reeeeeeeal?

I just pulled a sneaky stunt on the bank, and they do not even know it yet...

When this house was built, there was never a deeded right of way to the back of the house. The front of the house is accessable, but to get to the garage and the shop, you have to go around the back of the house

The driveway is actually on property owned by a friend. Back when this house was built, a handshake was binding, and the property owners had an agreement. That is no longer binding with both of them dead.

My friend is going to tell the bank that as soon as I am gone, he is closing the road. The only place a new driveway could go would run right over the septic tank, and leach field, and a couple 50-60 foot fir trees would have to come out
My friend does not want new neighbors against his property. He likes that I watch out for him

This should help me drive the price down, and give me a little more leverage to make them deal with me, on my terms
 
#458
yeah..it is
this is a very small community, and fairly close knit. There are a few families that came into the area in covered wagons, and stayed (mine is one of them). Many of these families stick together...That is one of the main reasons I like the area so much. I have seen how people treat each other in cities. I did not like it a bit

I had a really rough day, tomorrow is likely to be a repeat. I don't even have the energy right now to explain why.

I'll try to check in soon.

Jackie is in Chicago right now because of a family emergency on her side. I might end up in Chicago next week.

A couple of psychics offered to help with my nephew. Not something that I or my family are drawn to, but at this point I think that we'd try anything. Upon further review we've decided that their motivations seem to be self serving and about promoting themselves more than anything else.

Oh geez...sorry....like you guys need more stuff going on.

I'm not sure how much I believe the psychic thing either, but even if their motives are self-promotion, they are at least thinking that they'll have something to promote. Of course, that could be the whole, "you're not supposed to find him yet" kind of deal...complete b.s. My grandma asked a psychic where she had hidden her wedding ring (old people stash valuable stuff in weird places and then forget where they put it...okay, okay...I totally do this too...good thing I have nosey kids that can tell me where I hid the hubz birthday present that I bought six months before :D) and got the "you'll find it when you're meant to find it" line of b.s. My grandfather had been dead for like 40 years at that point. She never did find it before she died. We found it tucked up in the basement ceiling when we were remodeling. Oh, and it was my ex-husband that found it, so no significance there either! :hmm:

Anyway, you have all my contact info. If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. :)
