I’m just going to write this post only because I haven’t posted anything in almost a month and I have some interesting and funny pictures, movies and links to go with it. The main reason I haven’t been blogging lately, aside from running around visiting colleges for my daughter and going to her concerts, is that I've been digging. No, not a garden, but a 30’ long by 1’ deep trench (approximately). I had to repair / replace some wires which provide electricity to our studio / storage building “out back”. When I wasn't digging or messing around with wires, conduit and splices I was too tired to even sit and “blog” but rather sit and “blob” in front of the boob tube. The whole ordeal made me think of The Three Stooges episode (which I happened to catch while relaxing) where they are plumbers. I could especially relate to Larry digging a hole in the yard and Curly (it was also made with Shemp) pulling wires out of a pipe. What’s funny is that my wife watches the home improvement shows like This Old House, etc. and I always end up watching the The Three Stooges doing home repairs.
In the process of digging I unearthed an old horseshoe. I think if I had dug any deeper I would have found an old horse! But I thought it was pretty interesting and it made me think of what things must have been like on our property in the old farming days. At least I discovered another small piece of history and it must have brought good luck because the lights are finally working again!
