For our favorite monster movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ad9vJo-580 No such thing. A tired, depressed, alcoholic, articulate, monster. Everything you could ask for in a B movie. Happy Halloween.
Rain Gutters
We have plans for this sidewalk along the edge of the deck. We don’t want downspouts to trip over, or to put rain stains on the concrete.
So we routed them the other direction.
Three of them meet up in a 4” tube underneath.
And go all the way across and out the other side.
When we get the landscaping done on this side, the rainwater will be routed to help out.

We spotted a little snake in the yard. He wasn’t very big, but he was a rattler so we had to get rid of him. We have a big metal fence behind our house, so all we had to do was get the snake on the other side of the fence. This was the same day all the guys were here to dig out the grass for the cement pour. Judy asked one of the guys with a shovel to help. She said: “We don’t need to kill him, just pick him up with the shovel and throw him over the fence.” There was something of a language barrier, but Judy gestured a big throwing motion with an imaginary shovel. The guy with the shovel nodded and said he understood. He walked around back to the snake and very carefully.,….cut off the snake’s head with the shovel, then scooped up the body and flung it over the fence, just like Judy had demonstrated. We appreciated his help, even though we didn’t connect on that one subtle point.
Skin Grafts
Usually when we go to the Dermatologist, it’s no big deal. We get a few hits of liquid nitrogen. Sometimes he digs something out and that’s the end of it. This time, with the Mohs Surgery and skin grafts, it has turned out to be a really big deal. We made the first visit in August. We had the Mohs surgery and the skin grafts in September. Two weeks later, in October, we got the first set of stitches out from where they took the skin for the skin grafts. Three weeks after the surgery, today, in the last part of October, we got the last set of stitches out; the ones for the skin grafts themselves. We’re both healing up nicely. We’re all through with the painful parts. The bandages have gotten progressively smaller and we won’t need them at all after another week.

We have railings. And a ceiling fan.
And see that little white square next to the door?
Dog Door! So far my efforts to capture Henry going through it look like this:
