Worthless

Posted on December 22, 2012 by cyetso

Got the motorcycle out and went over to John’s new house to help with whatever. It was a solid rain when I left, but then this happened after I got there –

Temporary

 

 

Didn’t do a single productive thing while I was there. In fact, I think I may have made things worse. Took a couple photos that came out okay, but that’s not really helping –

Fence 2Fence 3Fence 5Fence 4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I went to leave, the rain returned. Along with some solid wind. Made the ride home entertaining.

That’s all I’ve got to show for an entire Saturday. Pretty worthless I was.

Sorry John, I sucked at today.

To each his own

Posted on December 21, 2012 by cyetso

The crows were using the moon to direct themselves home –

 

We chose the local watering hole instead –

AHHHH, 4 days off

Marla went with the pear vodka and ginger ale. I went the Patron and Heineken route myself.

Not like it was sake or anything outrageous.

And it sure beats going to the gym.

Right Gui?

Happy birthday JohnCap! First birthday West of the Mississippi, if that means anything….

Yard art?

Posted on December 20, 2012 by cyetso

My neighbor loves holidays –

 

Not just these holidays either. ALL holidays. Valentines day, May day, Oktoberfest, Boxing day, whatever, he hangs out the yard art. He’s cut back on the Christmas stuff this year, nothing on the roof, no live reindeer, none of that. I’m gonna thank the economy for this….

Brought to you by the rainy season

Posted on December 19, 2012 by cyetso

Starring –

 

The inside of the house. That’s right, it’s raining tons, snowed this morning, and will likely freeze/howl/puke/rally more tonight. It’s enough to make a hardened Seattleite stay indoors. So that’s what I’m doing.

Lurking about

Posted on December 18, 2012 by cyetso

We have visitors hanging out in the wreath over the fireplace –

 

As long as they don’t get into a scrap up there, well then, alright by me.

You can tell I’m in the holiday swing of things can’t you?

Happy Birthday Tom.

And on December 17th

Posted on December 17, 2012 by cyetso

This silly camellia is blooming –

 

Blooming Camelia

 

It’s in the forties, gonna get colder tonight. Maybe some snow around here overnight. And this tough guy decides to go into bloom.
I guess that’s what they do.
Hummingbirds gotta eat too.
Right?

Went downtown today

Posted on December 16, 2012 by cyetso

Went to the motorcycle show, played tourist, had lunch. I think the tourist bit was the best part. Took this rather popular shot –

 

Pike Place Market

 

Turned out well. Maybe well enough to print up and glue to a wall around here somewhere?

Lunch was a close second. The motorcycle show, a rather distant third.

In summary

Posted on December 15, 2012 by cyetso

This was how I felt today; grey, industrial, and cold –

 

That what I get for carrying on last night.
So I went to The Sloop for a couple.
Felling much better now, thanks.
