Is that a dorky hat, or what?

My brother, Shane, insists on wearing that dorky hat, while I maintain that it's coolness evaporated in the early 60's.

This was taken at a cookout at my neighbor's house, yesterday.

I'm the handsome elbow rest.

Why I love my job

Recently, I was able to take these pictures of the Cleveland skyline from my vantage point on the Willow Bridge.

Shearing Maggie

A few weeks ago, I visited my friend Rick, aka Alpaca Dick, aka El Presidente. He needed a hand shearing his single Alpaca, Maggie, so I volunteered to help.

She's a beauty! This is her before the torture began.






I had the job of calming her, and trimming her neck and legs. Except for her sneezeing on me once and one kick in the ____, it wasn't too bad.












She looks a lot cooler now. Ok, it wasn't the best haircut, but what do you expect from a guy who shaves his head?

Back with ATT

I wrote an email to ATT customer service. We worked everything out, and I'm back on board. It was really nice not having a phone for awhile. I did miss the internet, but it wasn't as life-shattering as I thought it would be. Even now, having been jacked back in for a day, and it's like I never left.

It's been awhile

Well, the holidays are over, work is back to normal, and I'm 5 lbs heavier than last year. I dropped my AT&T DSL and phone service a month ago. Right now I'm at a neighbor's house using her network. I kinda like getting home from work and not having any calls!

Not much else going on, though I hope to post a few pictures of my jobsite in a few weeks. I'm working in electrical manholes on some pretty cool stuff: 15,000 volt cables that feed a hospital. I think it's interesting, anyway.
