Bear scout

We went to pack meeting last night where Mason received his Bear rank. The photo shows Mason pinning the Bear pin on his mother's jacket. We are proud of him and are glad he's so excited about Scouts. Of course, it touched his father's heart too that when Mason was asked what he did to earn the award, he picked out the birdhouse and the toolbox that we made together.

Fishing in the dark

We went on a short camping trip this weekend. We had planned on fishing, but we arrived later than planned so we didn't have much time. We certainly didn't figure that we would catch anything, but Spencer and his amazing fish catching powers proved us wrong. By the time he reeled his fish in, it was already so dark that we had to light him up with a flashlight just to take the picture.

Good as new (almost)

Recently I posted about my plans to do some body work on my car. So I finally had a few hours to go out and work on the car and then shoot a couple of pictures when I was done.







As you can see, the parts fit pretty well, but the color is not quite right. Something about primer black doesn't quite match white paint. So now we're talking about painting another car. I seem to recall that didn't work out so well for me the last time. For a review of that episode, click here.

Dented

My car has lived a rough life. I dented the rear bumper pulling out of the driveway.





Of course, the just matched the dent in the front fender I notched when a hit a pillar in a parking garage. It has gotten so bad that Teressa hates to ride in my car. Recently, I splurged on some new car parts. Then we'll have to splurge on some paint. But after that maybe the car will almost look as good as new. Then I'll just have to fix up the inside.

New trick

I've been thinking how nice it would be to start posting from my phone, at least for quick posts. So today I took the technological jump. I've got a few pictures stored up here, so I'll give it a whirl.

From the mouth of Sam

Teressa: Sam, you're my angel.
Sam: No, I'm an alien.

Andy's sure shot

Andy never lets his limitations hold him down. When he comes to visit, he just likes to do regular things like bike riding and bowling and now, basketball. At one point today, he stepped back from the basket and hit five shots in a row.
