Pic a Day in May: Day 14

Monday, May 14, 2012 at 10:44 pmMemeHusbear, MemeErik Rubright

The Husbear spent some time today continuing his work on rebuilding the terraces in the front yard today. I “supervised”.

Ain’t he cute?

I also did some work at his salon today (a remodeling project), and then rearranged the living room as well. Which ending up being a major pain in the ass.

Jim of Jim’s Stuff started his own version of the “Pic a Day in May” challenge. So I thought I’d go ahead and give it a shot. It’s not like I can really think of anything to blog about these days anyway. So we’ll go with my life in pictures. There’s that whole “a picture is worth a thousand words” thing anyway, so that just means I need to write less. 😉

Other bloggers that I know of who are playing along:

Sean of Idle Eyes and a Dormy
Kelly of Rambling along in life…
Sean of Just a Jeep Guy
BuddyBear of One Step at a Time

Until next time...

Pic a Day in May: Day 13

Sunday, May 13, 2012 at 10:16 pmMemeMemeErik Rubright

If you know what this is, you know I spent the day cussing. Quite a bit.

Today I spent almost the entire day day installing new plumbing lines.

I HATE plumbing! Of all the constructioney things I do, it’s the one I abhor the most.

But considering the lowest of the estimates we received was about $1600, and the cost of materials was only about $400, I couldn’t justify shelling out that kind of money. It’s not that I’m cheap. I tend to think I’m just thrifty.

But the replacement water lines are installed now.

Here’s hoping nothing springs a leak.

12 of 12, May 2012, & Pic a Day in May: Day 12

Sunday, May 13, 2012 at 12:19 amPonderings12 of 12, gpoyErik Rubright

I’m doing my fifth “12 of 12”. How is that for me sticking to something?

All pictures were taken with my iPhone 3GS. Click the images to enlarge, if you dare!

Created by Chad Darnell and picked up from a number of random bloggers who then link back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 links in December of 2011, so I linked to Blobby’s Blog as Blobby is the one who inspired me to do it. And someone should get some credit.

There’s 13 pictures for this month. 12 for the “12 of 12”, and one for the “Pic a Day in May”.

10:11 AM: I just woke up. And this is the view from the upstairs toilet. One of these days we’ll actually get around to doing some remodeling up here.

10:35 AM: Apparently the Husbear bought some roses. I missed that memo.

11:39 AM: Now everything smells like clean linen AND poop!

11:41 AM: Michelle, the salon’s receptionist.

1:03 PM: I just pulled the business mail from the mailbox. And wow! That seems like a risque cover for TIME.

3:13 PM: The view out of my window at the studio. And a rare moment of me looking out of it.

7:49 PM: Gavin, the studio’s piercer and one of three tattooists, enjoying a cigar.

7:55 PM: What the front of my studio looks like. I dig it.

8:12 PM: And a rare moment of me sitting OUTSIDE my studio.

9:15 PM: The start of a supply run at the store.

9:46 PM: And 30 minutes later…. Yes, there are products in it that scare me too.

10:33 PM: A certain blogger friend reminded me in conversation that I was out of Guinness. So I had to drive up to Missouri to get more beer. Because we live in a dry county. A FUCKING DRY COUNTY! And then I have to drive back to Arkansas to drink it.
