He has pointed out that he was a tree for over 80 years and a gnome for 17 more.... but I will make this point to him. With that many years behind him, patience ought to be second nature for him.

ScottR Posted December 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 I haven't done much more than peek in every so often these past few weeks. Wasn't it CSN&Y that said "maybe it was be cause I had the covid for Christmas"? Or maybe it was flu, That was over 40 years ago. Anyway I did end up catching it And spent some time at the house over the holidays. I wasn't going anywhere anyway. My symptoms were quite mild, in fact it was mostly over before I realized something was a bit off. Now my wife has it too, with similar mild symptoms. I will say I got tired of coughing. My first few days at the house were mostly spent chilling and sleeping and then Annie started to get some daily attention. I think I'm finally beginning to capture that exotic look I've been hunting for, SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyebrows go a long ways towards projecting emotions. What is more surprising to me is what a difference a subtle change to any plane of her her face makes.

SR guys like him, colter wall, and tyler childers offer a lot of hope for the future of music. not that "all that new music is crap" is my thing... but just love the idea of the new take on more traditional sounds. she's looking nice and smooth there. the hair almost looks like it's moving. lovely work as always.

ScottR Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I had to get some new gouges. I've sharpened so much that there are places they will not reach any more. These two are the same model. The top one is a little over 5 years old.....I think. SR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR nothing to worry about... she was likely just mixing up some sort of potion that required a small amount of your blood.

ScottR Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Houston is closed today. Yesterday it got down to freezing and started to rain. This morning it was 17F and we had a quarter inch of ice under a couple of inches of snow. It got up to 23F today , so we still have the frozen stuff.Single digits are forecast overnight so it is not going anywhere. Minor distraction for most of the world this time of year, but we have no infrastructure for this so we close. It was nearly 80F 5 days ago and will be in the 70s this weekend, but freezing between now and then....and no saunas here. In the meantime Annie's hair is closer to being satisfactory. Kind of a cross between Lisa Simpson and Medusa. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
