i can’t be the only one who hears they might be giants singing about Roy G Biv on here comes the science ( which odin has listened to a gazillion times ) when i look at the arrangement which is best viewed larger?

day 3433: sleepy travel buddies.
odin and frida catch a little shut-eye on a marathon 10 hour road trip.
how to blow the best buy appliance kid’s mind.
“do you want to ship the chest freezer to your house?”
“no, i think i’ll just put it in the trunk of my car.”
“sir, we don’t recommend people attempt to take home freezers in their car trunk. they never fit.”
“i think it’ll fit just fine. in fact, i bet there will be plenty of room to spare.”
finding a new home for the old me.
for over a year this photo of me has been hanging in the organic valley headquarters near the coffee station where i used to get coffee every day before the fire. the photo was taken right before i started running again, before i ran clear across the country and before i lost 110 pounds. so, it’s a good reminder to not let that happen again.
a little birdy told me that the picture was coming down to make way for a new one, so i thought i’d proactively “steal” the picture and put it somewhere where it might be appreciated.
but where?
i knew i wanted to put it up in our post fire work digs in westby but i couldn’t put it up in my office because, well, that’d be weird, right?
aha – i found the perfect spot in our executive marketing director’s office! i just know lewis would really enjoy having me looking down on him at his desk.
and if he ever wonders what do to, he can now just look up and ponder, “hmmm, what would eric do?”
frida surveys the splendor of the cosmos organicos garden plot.
we’re still harvesting the bounty from the labors of the cosmos organicos garden collective so frida had her first chance to survey the splendor!
you can see ongoing work after the fire on the organic valley headquarters in the background. hopefully when we plant next year all the work will be done!
you see this face? that’s frida being super happy that i won’t let her about and half eat all the bell peppers while i’m trying ot pick them 🙂
oh nothing, just hauling lumber with a 1965 galaxie 500 and a 1938 dodge truck bed trailer.
the way i figure it, if you’re going to go get some 14 and 16 footers for the treehouse from your amish sawyer and you have the opportunity to use a trailer made from a 1938 dodge truck from marv who lives down the street who got it from his father, well, it’s a no-brainer – it’s The Way It Must Be Done.
you can 8 footers just fine without a trailer with the old ford but 14 and 16 footers are looooong. i thought i’d be able to keep the trailer gate closed but they boughed enough that they were resting on the roof of the galaxie which wasn’t going to work, so i had to improvise with what i had available.
looks totally legit.
i wasn’t 100% sure i was going to make it home without incident but i drove slow and stopped a few times to make adjustments and made the trip without losing the load 🙂
having frida tag along makes the adventures all the more fun! she didn’t go out to the sawyer but she was veeeeeeery happy to hop in and help me return the trailer to marv.
how to make the local technical college gearheads’ day.
every year the local technical college automotive technician students hold a free car inspection in the parking lot of the agri-center presumably to give them some real word experience at diagnosing automobiles.
i pulled in the parking lot on other business with the galaxie 500 and decided to swing through to cheers and fist pumps 🙂
one of the young technicians said, “sir, you really made my day.”
she passed all the tests with flying colors.
