Well I started on a new art project. It's going be in pastels.  I've laid it out today, I'm hoping to get the under coat done tomorrow. As you see(on the right and left margin) some more art work.  People c ouldn't find it and asking where they can see my art.  I did have a link up, but some how they can't find it( I don't know why its an image link and it's pretty big!) I have posted it on the blog. So Now, you are able to see them on the right and left side of the blog margins. If you want to see  more or it all, then you can click on the art photo page link on the left side margin of the blog page. 

I've finished the bird feeder and I will try to take some photos of it soon. Now I can  start work on the Router table and get that done. Now the nice weather is coming, I can work down in the shop without freezing.

My LD was mad at me and my lack of writing, that made us both very unhappy. I think I  need to go over her knee!!! I been a very very bad boy!! *grin,grin, grin, wink, smile**   I am not that great at replying to E-mails. But for her I should be. So I will say " yes dear" :)  Well, not much more to tell you right now   I've been reading " To Kill a Mocking bird" I haven't read it in 25 years; so I am rereading it.  I also been very much enjoying Carla Neggers Novels. They are good who done it stories and little bit love stories, but I still enjoy them,  As long they don't get to sappy I like them. most of the time, I more classics type books.

My mother came over for Dinner and she brought her nittening bag. Not more then 2 seconds after she put it down by the Chair; Pepper my cat, was head first down in the back with the back still up right. I quckly took some photos of it and my nutting cat.  My Crazzy Cat slide show:

I don't have much to say really!! not to much really happened this week or last week, so I just going to plug some sites and some great lyrics.

If you like radio from the late 50's to the 80's you can hear them at this great site. You need Real Audio Player or Windows Media player installed to here the records of radio from back them its run by Uncle Brucy and it fun to here radio back then. One I remember from when I was leaving in NJ and heard it when it happen it was from 1974 WXLO in NYC. and here the site: www.reelradio.com

I remember some of the great Jocks back in the 70's in NYC it was cousin Bruce from WABC and when I lived in St. Louis, there was KSLQ with Jocks with names like THE BOOGIE MAN, CRAZY JACK AND hopping Hopper. Then we had KSHE with more hard rock and  Jocks that screaming into the mic, and wounder how they kept talking after all that yelling, and can't forget KADI with more harder rock and metal rock. HO yes, the good old days of radio it's not the same any more like it was. Now you listen and its dull as @#$$%$.  Well I can't say it here, but you know what I mean.  try the link and you can here some of it all around the USA.

here some fun lyrics form Herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass any of you Remember them?? All you kids and if you not over 40 years old, must be wondering what I am talking about it was in the 1965 and went thou the 70s it was Mexican big brass band. It was a great hon band back then.

Spanish flea - Herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass 1966

click link and listen to the album: http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?userid=dK8Wdn7BpM& " title="http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?userid=dK8Wdn7BpM& " target="_blank"http://music.barnesandnoble.c...;EAN=82839708227&ITM= 4

There was a little Spanish flea
A record star he thought he'd be
He heard of singers like Beatles
and The Chipmunks he'd seen on TV
Why not a little spanish flea?

And so he hid
Inside a doggie from madrid
He arrived in the city
Still singin his sweet harmony
As proud as any flea could be

He walked around
As if he owned the town
Humming his pint sized melody
With his guitar he knew he'd be a star
And in his own home town, how proud he'd be

Then all at once he met a man
Who said, "I'll help you if i can"
He listened close to his song
And then he sang right along for you see
He loved that little spanish flea

Drop me a comment and let me know if you remember this band or what you think about the lyrics!! Some one must be reading this?

I went outside tonight to have my nightly smoke(I don't smoke inside the house) and standing there, I looked out and saw something strange on the flag pole, that sticks out on one of the columns of the front porch. I moved forward to look closer( it was 11 PM at night, so it was dark) and then it moved and I saw two big yellow eyes looking at me!!! This is not normal thing around here, So I slowly went in, hoping that it won't flew away when I come back out. I grabbed my digi and took some pictures. It didn't move at all, it just look at me and let me use the flash and didn't move. She just sat there and looked around and looking at me. It was a light color brown owl( that means its a female) it was a beautiful Bird. I was only 3 to 4 feet away from it and it let me take pictures of her and let me get that close to her. Here are the photos of her.

I NAMED HER ELEANOR DOESN'T SHE LOOK LIKE AN Eleanor? At the end she did start giving me dirty looks as in saying " Hay you, the a@@hole with the flash, Stop it!!) then she flew off in the night.

I been working of some art and hopefully I will post it to my online art photo gallery. My friend has been calling and been a big help in my mood. It’s great now, the price for international calls is so low now! We can talk for four cents a minuet now where before it was $3.50 for the first minuet and $ 2.24 for each minuet after that. Thirty minuets would be like 25-30 dollars. Anyway, The "Times are changing" I’m going to try to get that art work up soon and get some new photos also.

I laid out the legs for the router table last night and now I have cut it out and then mark up three more like it for the table. The top if going to be a lot of Router work, So I will work on that after.

I been thinking on making this a commercial site, talk about politically, news and things like that you know debate type of site. I not getting any response out there at all so I not sure bloging is with the time! But, We will see what happens. I don’t understand why no one response(comments) at all it’s not hard to do. I try to leave a comment at every blog I go too, Any way, we will see how it goes for now.

It always seem strange that When we are troubled, we tend to look back into the pass. Why do we do that? Maybe We hope to find a happier time or is it escape? Maybe, the pass seem always better and happier then now. We know back then, the same problems was as today. The moments of the pass seem so much better and the days seem easer. Isn't funny how the grass seem greener and the day brighter then now!!  I wonder if anyone sees it this way? I use to try to find some people that I knew back then and get back in contact with them. But, I never seem to work out.  Here is one of my old grammer school I went to. The place hasn't change all that much!!!     http://www.north-haven.k12.ct.us/greenacres/" title="http://www.north-haven.k12.ct.us/greenacres/" target="_blank"http://www.north-haven.k12.ct...        & nbsp;Even thou, I moved a lot as a kid. I sat and counted all the places I've lived,  and it came up to 38 times and counting!

Well other then that not to much going on right now. Today I sent the whole day doing Lundy and cleaning the house. Right now the Workshop is very cold down there in the basement and not able to work down there. We had more snow last night and the night before. We are sure getting a winter this year!!! any one out there remember the storm of 1978?? But now I don’t go to school, and pray and listen for school to be canceled! I hope to work on my painting tomorrow now I got the rest of my work done, and work on that program, that I been working on.

Here are some lyerics oldie but goodie!

PAINT IT, BLACK   Rolling Stones 67'

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
