sounds familiar Musing on the present. Reminiscing about the past. Posturing for the future.

sometimes i suck too

Something went wrong with last night's post scheduling, and I didn't notice until midway through the day today that it hadn't auto-posted at midnight as my entries usually do.  If you missed it, you can just scroll down - so don't panic. And now, to Tuesday...

You guys know what?  I totally got the crank ghost up tonight after work.  If you would've asked me yesterday I would've said it might not happen at all this year.  See, my new rig was flawed, was tangling the strings and the thing wouldn't work.  But then,  I got all nuts and made it work.  I also managed to set up the motion detector and prop timer for sound and animation and lighting.  I didn't, however get it all hooked up or cable-managed.  But, good Lord I almost made my self-imposed October 15th deadline for all the old props being up and running.  Tomorrow I'll hook things up and take a video of the coordinated triggering I setup for the popper and dropper so you can see it all in action.

Y'know... I get on to Sharaun a lot for being disorganized, unmotivated, and, at times, downright lazy.  I know, what a great husband, right? I like to think of myself as a shining example of organization and motivation, never letting myself falter.  Every once in a while though, I'll step back and realize I'm a fairly lazy procrastinator in my own right.  Take for example the pair of tennis shoes outside our front door right now.  They're all dusty and dirty so I stuck them out there to knock together a couple times before bringing back into the shoe rack in our closet.  Sounds prudent, right?  Yeah, all but for the part where I forgot to mention that I put those shoes out there right after removing them from my feet upon returning from our aborted JMT hike back in the first week of September.  So yeah, a month out there on the porch waiting for me to bring them in.  That's pretty bad y'all... pretty bad.

Hey guess what?!  I actually posted some new pictures to Keaton's gallery!  Yeah, I'm for real.  Now, even though I'm supposedly covering two months time with this update - I only managed to pull together a measly twenty decent pictures.  But, I figure it's better than nothing.  You can go check out the new stuff by clicking right here.

Goodnight my friends.
