I’ve been using Evernote as a data stashing tool for several years. I use the free version, because I didn’t need the premium features. I guess enough other people didn’t need the premium features, so not long ago, Evernote changed the parameters, making some previously free features part of their … Continue reading →
Mr. L has long envisioned a car frame rotator for use in restoring his 1946 Mercury automobiles. These are available commercially and are fairly expensive. He decided to build his own, and it’s complete enough for him to know it will do exactly what he wants it to do — … Continue reading →
The kitties had a stressful week. We had a new heat pump installed upstairs to replace two aged (one failed) heating and air conditioning systems. For the inside cats, that meant “strangers” invaded the house for three days. For the outside cats, that meant strangers invaded their under house spaces … Continue reading →

Rossie now knows when I close the doors to the parlor, she’s going to get to come out of the cage (at least, that’s what she thinks), and that’s usually correct.

I’ve been getting some time with the elusive Walter lately. He loves Fancy Feast, and he recently figured out we give Sneaky and Junior Fancy Feast in the morning, so about a week ago, Walter began making regular appearances at Fancy Feast time on the heat pump ductwork. So, we … Continue reading →
