A great quote

Been Busy

So I've been working my butt off trying to clean up my back yard thanks to the City of Casper Blah blah blah committee of blah. That has in short made it so if a neighbor that is too big of a pansy to come speak with you and ask you to change something whines like a little girl. Then the City comes and threatens to haul away your belongings and charge you for it. Apparently ownership of property and the right to use said land as you see fit is a right lost to us. Not what I was originally gonna blog about but it's a minor rant. I'll post some pics to illustrate my point

Worked my rear off on this fence after the whiners complained my dogs bark too much even though they have corgi's that won't shut up.

The original state of the yard which I admit needed work but don't threaten me I don't like it.

new tire rack

Tagged truck in hiding

organized wood and parts

Covered and cleaned up around 49

nice clean porch

nice open yard

So that is what I've been up to other than going to work from 8-5:30 everyday and class from 6-10 everyday and working 6 days a week. So yeah Gotta love the City of Casper.

Promised stuff from class

I promised some stuff from class but have been so busy. So here is the first assignment that I like how it came out.

it's a cross hatch ink drawing of a 1949 Carter Y-1 Carburetor

 

 

This drawing took a total of about 35-40 minutes.

I got the Carb a little dark to start with so I was a little worried about the shading, but it came out alright.

My Cat was actually sweet last night and didn't attack me in my sleep. and I got some cute pics so here they are.

"WHY ARE YOU TAKING MY PICTURE?"

Shh it's a secret blog fest entry

Life is full of secrets. Secrets that feel like so many different things. Bad ones that feel like daggers in your side, good ones that make you feel like winning a prize, and even some that you just don't care about. In life it's like there is a Baskin Robins of secrets, but there are way more than the original 31 flavors. But if you are really lucky maybe someday you'll find someone to share them all with. If you find that person hang on for all you are worth.

Workin Hard

Been busting my hump something fierce lately. So not much to post other than "I'm tired" and that would get boring quick. But next week I'll start school and art classes so I'll be able to post what I do in class. Till then I'm resting ya'll.

Relativity of Time in the Human Mind

Have you ever noticed how days at work are so long? Or have you noticed how a day off seems like it's over before you even really get moving. I hate that. Lately my life seems full of projects 99% of which I have 0 time for. Admittedly most of them are of my own making and others are just general upkeep I have to catch up on. But a slow day in the shop at work seems like 5 years in a day. Whereas I walk into my back yard with a list of chores I'd like to accomplish and by the end of 2-3 the suns setting and I'm trying to figure out where my "Day Off" went. Oh well I guess it's just life. But I just thought I'd rant a little.
