Fuzzy is still a bag cat, and still a playful kitten, even though he’s 13 years old. He’s actually just meowing.

The bee picts are up for your viewing pleasure..

This is a swarm that occurred about 5 days after our bees were removed.  Again, still don’t know what caused it, the same workers, or a new queen somewhere decided to come visit.

10 minutes later, they looked like this in the tree.  Cool

Damn, we have bees in our facade.  Honeybees.  Lots of them.  We are trying to get them out as soon as possible.  Most of the beekeepers will extract them without harm (that’s what we want), but they are like $600-800.  We found two bee keepers that will do it for $200 flat rate.  We’ll see.

Ok. We’re out.  No more home phone, we are cell only!  We didn’t want to pay for their $22 line or their $8 caller ID or the crappy taxes.  BOOO!!!   We are saving ~$35 a month.  I should at least be able to spend that on games or something.

SO, don’t call us there anymore.

Roomba was seriously ailing. Took him apart and then back together.  He was all stopped up with hair and gunk.  He’s worth it, but a lot of work to clean.

Quite proud of myself that no parts were left when I was done.

So of course when I was in London, the house revolted on Sadie.   She cleaned the fish tanks and then the salt water tank started to drip.  She was so frustrated.  It ended up ruining the linoleum in the kitchen, which is ok, it finally kicks us into gear to get tile.  But seriously, why does the house know I’m gone and take it out on her?

So I sold the hot tub the next day. I called the dude back and he came over for the full price ($500) minus gas money. (i’ve never heard that one before). He called a couple of friends, and we took part of the fence out and we loaded it up. Took about 3 hours. So it’s sold.
