Tim’s Back Building!

DSC06082

Lumber outside the Moby, power tools and cords and my living room cluttered to the max with stuff from a closet means only one thing here at the homestead.

Tim’s back and building something COOOOOOL for us!!! Yeah!

I kinda ran low on extra cash for a couple weeks, it’s that time of the year were folks are all really busy making the transistion over from summer to school and fall, and well, they just don’t seem to do a lot of internet sales!

But things are picking up again and we have lots of little projects here at the Moby… so Tim came out and we had a fun day of building!!!

Here is the problem. Our rock and mineral stock closet is a wreck! We tried to use these rather inexpensive shelves and they were totally inefficient and buckling under the weight of the rocks. Just a mess.

We tried to keep them organized, but the space was just so poorly utilized. And we were not using the area to it’s best potential. So we needed our master craftsman Tim and his ability to understand “Sherri” plans and make it work!

I wanted full shelves… deep, so that we could put less used stuff in deep and behind and then have stock for orders up front. So that the whole area is being used. The area is a space that used to house a washer and dryer, but I prefer going to a laundrymat, and we needed the space for the business stuff.

Jessy had to kick Lumpy Dog off the couch so she could work on orders! Gypsy was not pleased. The couch is her NEW spot.

It was nice to be able to sort through the stuff and find things we didn’t know we had and just to get it a little more organizing done. It didn’t take too long, and the best part is that we moved all the second closet’s stuff over to the big closet, we had that much more space!

And so I got to move all the Opry and band and bluegrass stuff to the secondary closet!!! HOW COOL WAS THAT? I actually get my own room closet back! YAHOO!! That was really cool…. now the Opry stuff has a good home and all the stock is neat and accessible! JUST WONDERFUL!!!

Took us most of the evening to sort and reorganize everything, but it was a good sort of time spent…. it’s going to be a charm to fill orders and keep an eye on stock now! Thanks Tim!!!

Luna Needs Kitty Classes

DSC06085

Luna needs some extra schooling when it comes to personal space and how to interact with boy kitties.

She just doesn’t get it. She has to constantly get in poor Jack’s face. She totally does not understand personal space at all.

Usually they end up with Jack rearing back as far as he can in kitty annoyance and confusion and then he exits stage left as quickly as he can. Luna just ends up looking annoyed.

Which she does well. (Looking annoyed, that is.)

I think that maybe she needs to go to socialization classes for kitties. HAHAHA…..

Maybe she just needs more nap time… she is the queen of cool napping spots. She is the definition of happy camper when she’s napping in a basket, box or little nook or cranny!

Elks Showcase Jam

DSC06051

Tuesday night we had the pleasure of going over to the Maumee Elks Showcase Bluegrass and Country Jam. They had Pete Gobel as a special guest. Pete Gobel is a well known bluegrass songwriter from up in the Detroit, Michigan area. He’s been long time friends with our own Gene (a local guitar picker fellow) and so it was really neat to have him down to visit and all. Pete doesn’t really play much any more, so instead they set up a little table and did a nice interview of him for the audience.

And then… WE PLAYED!!!!

It was fun, there were a lot of people there and that makes it fun. Got to jam with my band guys as well as lots of the local musicians. Always enjoy being able to have fun and laugh and play bluegrass music. It’s my only real social outlet, so I enjoy it a good deal.

Merl and Peggy run the show and they are like kin to me… Merl and Bill are my car pimps! HAHAHA… Okay, well, maybe I should rephrase that. They are in charge of my automobile acquisition and maintenance. They are good at it and my shining lights when it comes to vehicles!

Now don’t tell anyone… but I just bought them a domain for their jam! I’m setting it up as a blog because I know Peggy will be able to keep it up and have a hoot with it. She loves taking pictures at the jam and she’s also a little computer nerd too, so it’s going to be fun to teach her how to run the blog site and to see how she does with her OWN website!!!

It’s still kinda infantile…. I’ll work on it tonight some…

I drew them a logo a couple weeks ago… I think it’s fun. I made most of the Deepwater crew as Elks playing instruments! They love it and we’re going to be doing t-shirts soon!

I’m pretty sure once I color it up and slap it on the blog and add a nice theme and all, it will work out just nice!

Stay tuned! It was a fun night and we ended up playing till way after 10:30 or so… Great bunch of people, and a lot of fun to play all night.
