the break was a bust - back to KACK

Trying the ZOHO Writer again. I couldnt seem to log into Blogger this morning so here I am. Although now that I think of it - its probably a good thing to have an alt. way to post. Woo - technology is fun.

So yeah: a weeks worth of cleaning for a few hours of family...
You do the math. And that was the holiday, that and ham. Lots of ham, ham as far as the eye could see. We will be eating ham til the 4th of July.

Oh, I did learn something - the color achieved when all the tabs in a box of egg dye are mixed. It aint pretty folks. The color in the cup is somewhere around that of dark green sewer slime. The kind of shade that looks as if it would dissolved that lil copper-wire dipper. The egg comes out a mottled purple that looks damn near deadly when dyed and dried. Its like Easter for those that hate to see Halloween come and go - fun stuff.

And no, I didnt mix on purpose, and Jacob helped. It seems that a few years ago we bought kits in bulk and have just been using them as we go along. Well over time those lil tabs turn to dust. So I did what anyone would do with a baggy of powder. I took a straw ...
and mixed it with three table spoons of vinegar and a half of a cup of cold water.

And now the next chapter:

This blog will look all new and stuff by the time you read the next post (aka: the post after this one) Lots of work and features will be added. Set to go live with the new skin will be a new way to contact and email me. It will be in a lightbox layer - its a cool effect, wait and see. In addition I may add either a shoutbox or enable comments - dunno yet. But check back, things are actually rolling along for once.

Blogs to skin, galleries to post, feeds to list and sites to fill out - a geek's job is never done, now if only I could make a buck off this.
