What I've been doing

I finally lifted that second bobcat skull out of the peroxide; he's been in there since the beginning of June, so he's a little crispy, but white like you would not believe. He looks great. And I managed to find all of his teeth but those four little fiddly ones that go in the front of his lower jaw. I took the raccoon out of the maceration tank yesterday and moved him into the degreaser; Boy was THAT a revolting mess. I poured it over the flowers and they seem to like it. The tea rose turned extra-dark within hours. None of the teeth had come out (yay!) so I had to pry them out with my fingernails (ick!).

I have been nordic-tracking regularly, and I feel awesome. Also the diet is going pretty well...We had a brief moment of weakness involving bacon-wrapped jalapenos last night, but we're back on track. I think I will fit into my spiffy new jeans soon, which will be a day for much glee.

W went to a homeschooler farmer's market yesterday, which was pretty cool. I got some blueberry-lime jam, a bunch of veggies, and some goat milk soap. I also got my name put on a waiting list for cabrito. I'm trying to figure out how to cook it in the oven still, but maybe it would be better grilled.

I think that's it.

The Wall

Walls, actually. We have walls! A ceiling! Woo-hoo!




The pics are all craptacular because the flash on my camera is broken and I had to take these with my phone. Still, you get the general idea. Drywall applied horizontally to the beams, etc. The guy who's putting them up is super fast, like contractor lightening. He brings his wife and daughter over to help him mud, which is kind of cool.
