The 12 of 12 Challenge was created by Chad Darnell and picked up by a number of random bloggers who linked back to him and vice versa. Chad stopped doing the 12 of 12 Challenge in December 2011, but passed the torch to someone who [sadly] hasn’t been keeping up with it. I am giving my shout-out to Blobby of Blobby’s Blog as he is the one who initially inspired me to do the Challenge, and he still does.
This is my 55th “12 of 12.” A Tuesday. We got home yesterday evening from our July walkabout, so it’s a “down day” to get things in order before we return to our regularly scheduled lives.
9:02 AM: Laundry. So much laundry. How do two grown men go through so much laundry on a 10 day trip? I can’t even guess how many loads it’ll take.11:20 AM: Hanging out the camping equipment from the trip. It was still… moist… from camping in Glacier National Park.1:10 PM: I mostly got the interior of the Jeep clean. Mostly. I wiped it out with a wet towel last night, then had to do it again this morning. I think most of the dust is gone. For now.1:50 PM: Luna resting a moment. She was outside with the Husbear running around the yard with him.1:56 PM: The Husbear finishing up some weed eating.3:21 PM: Both milli and micro in one picture! Resting on their cat tree.3:51 PM: On my way to the studio, and stopping in at my local Sonic for a drink.3:52 PM: And… me! After seeing the photos from our trip, I decided maybe I needed to tone down the gray in my beard a wee bit. While I like the gray, I don’t think I’m in fact ready for it.5:19 PM: Grabbing some supplies from the studio after doing paperwork. I have some drawing to do, and would just as much do it at home today.6:00 PM: Our cucumbers grew a lot while we on our trip. They’re huge!6:59 PM: The Husbear and Luna relaxing on the couch.7:22 PM: Importing the GPS data from our trip into Google Earth, with the other trips we’ve taken that I’ve recorded.
No “plus one” this month. I’ve got a pile of stuff to do still before tomorrow starts…
Our outside fireplace, or the fire devil. You decide. I’m a fan of the devil myself.

Oddly enough, that appeared naturally in the Japanese maple in our yard.

Some of you might have seen my Instagram post this morning. The Husbear was going out to the truck to go run some errands early this morning, and found the inside of the truck had been ransacked. He looked over in the car, and the same thing. *grumble*
Apparently someone, or ones, decided to pilfer through our vehicles last night. We live in the country. Down a dirt road. It’s rare the Husbear locks his vehicle, but I almost always do. Or both if I think about it. I am fairly certain I locked the car when I arrived home yesterday, but can’t be 100% certain. Either way, they got in both vehicles. Luckily there wasn’t much in the vehicles. They took all the loose change, sunglasses, the iPhone adapters and accessories, and a radar detector. *grumble*
The dogs didn’t bark. Or if they did, neither one of us heard them. And the cats weren’t too helpful either.
I called the Pea Ridge Police Department and reported the incident. The FIRST officer arrived in about 10 minutes, if even that. The Detective arrived a minute or two later. And then the Captain arrived a few minutes after that. Must have been a light morning today.
I reported what happened. And think I threw the officer for a loop when, after he asked about my wife, I corrected him that my husband was the one who found the burgle, and that he had to leave before they arrived to run errands for his business. Maybe we’re the first gay couple he’s met in this little town? They took the report, and then the Detective and the Captain left. I talked to the officer for a bit about tattoos (since he could see mine), and then he left.
A little frazzled, and upset, I headed off to the studio. I rearranged my evening tattoo appointment, left the studio early after completing my first appointment, and went to Lowe’s to purchased several outdoor motion-activated security lights.
Surprise, surprise, surprise…
I installed both the hard-wired and solar-powered security lights in various places around the house and yard. Hopefully that will shine a little light on the subjects if they attempt a repeat visit.
I also adjusted one of the indoor security cameras we have to cover the area where we park. I will add an actual outdoor security camera this weekend.
Maybe a little over-kill, but I’m all about catching bastards who do shit like this. Or at least making their attempt a lot more difficult for them.
Until next time...

Apparently there’s a Razorback game going on…
