Set the Record Straight, Seth!

Lately, I had been hearing alot of rumors about my buddy Seth:


The rumor was that Seth, being completely enamored with the memories of his recent Ketchikan, Alaska trip, http://thepowerofcrystals.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html, had decided to stake a claim to a piece of land up there and make a simple, yet honest way of life.
The rumors solidified into speculation and the gossip increased by the minute. The town was abuzz with talk of whether or not it was true. After a surprising blog post, http://thepowerofcrystals.blogspot.com/2009/10/moving-day.html, I was very curious myself.

After a bit of internet searching I stumbled upon a news article that was most intriguing, http://www.sitnews.us/0110news/011410/011410_feast.html, after reading it, I looked at a picture, that to me, is concrete proof my buddy Seth isn't in Oregon anymore:

A New Addition.

We went and got a great new addition to the "zoo". He is a Sulcata Tortoise and they are the third largest tortoise in the world. We have named him Greedo, and he is real mellow and likes to explore. He will live for several decades and can grow to be 150 lbs.! I am excited to have him around as part of the clan.

Happy New Year!

Holy shit I am lame! I was so tired I slept away most of the night. Trox was probably pissed off, but I couldn't help it...

It is 2010, and that's wild. It's another decade now!

Snow!

DONE

I am done working two full time jobs. Do not try that.
I am gonna go haul a shitload of manure to my house for garden goodness this spring.

Last Day Elation

Monday night will be my last shift at Nap's Thriftway. I gotta say, I am really excited to not be working two full time jobs. It really does put into perspective how hard some Americans have to work to maintain stability.
Since I am fortunate enough to not have to work two full time jobs, I am not going to anymore.

....I QUIT!

Xmas in Newberg

I think we got an awesome tree this year from a nice man outside of Newberg. The weather was stormy, but there is something endearing about that. We rooted through the attic for all the decorations, and got to it.
Last year money was tighter than this year, and the year before that we really were not that interested in dealing with getting a tree and all. It's been awhile but I think the decorations we have are delicate and nice.We have a bunch of animals that get to have gifts as well. We figured we could fill up their stockings with cat food and catnip and let them just go at it.
