Ghoul Friday on Hauntcast? Yeah, Baby!

So I can at last reveal my super-secret first-ever (and last!) interview on Hauntcast's Charmed Pot! Ghoul Friday will graciously join me and class up my tiny part of the show. She is truly a witty and charming addition to The Charmed Pot, so even if you think my segment generally stinks like five-day-old road kill, you should listen to this one!


And? There are rumors of a super-special extended interview with that worthy being uploaded to the Hauntcast site for-wait for it-free! Can you believe it bruthas and sistahs?


We even talk about shaving our legs. What could be more gripping, more Radio Gold than that?


I just don't know. But tune in tomorrow, July 1st, and you just might find out!
Hauntcast 32. Be there or be completely inadequate in all avenues of your life. Really!

Let it Snow!

In honor of the five inches of snow they had in Tahoe the other day, I bring you this sleigh hearse.

Progress Report: Perfect? No. Much Better? Absolutely!

The paint job is finished, the stencil is stenciled, and it only remains for Mr. ShellHawk to put up the shelves for me to have a mostly functioning studio. I say mostly, because I have to figure out where to put everything I took out!


Like all of you, I'm a bit space challenged. I appropriated a small part of one of our gardening sheds to put my giant air compressor, since our neighbor has our lawn mower on a semi-permanent basis and that space is free. Of course, that involved cleaning out the shed and re-arranging things so it was easy to get to what you needed. I'm always amazed at what a daisy chain of tasks is created with one seemingly simple project!


There will be more rearranging and organizing as time goes by, more shelves, and someday some actual cabinets for proper storage. One step at a time, though! I'm just happy the space looks this good! If you look back at my "before" post, when I was just starting this project, you'll see the big difference.


For someone who didn't know how to use joint compound for its originally intended purpose, I think I did pretty well!


In other news, Sam is growing so fast! I had completely forgotten how fast big breeds can grow, so it came as a bit of a surprise to notice his increase in size.
Big Shepherd and Little Shepherd, guarding the new studio.
Just as an example, Mr. ShellHawk cuddles Sam on the first day we had him in the first picture, then the second picture was yesterday. I can even see his color is changing.
We're both guilty of picking him up and carrying him like a baby from time to time, as we will almost certainly not be able to do it for long. He already knows "sit," mostly knows his name and the "come" command-although that last one may be attributed to selective hearing. I think I need to reinforce commands more with treats! So far, he's gone out to breakfast with us, and also ventured across the street to neighbor V's pool and mini-dachshund. He's not so sure about the pool, but he likes to play with the other dog.


Tomorrow, Mr. ShellHawk's dad is flying up for a visit and gets to meet the grandpuppy, which should be a blast. Of course I'll have to keep a sharp eye out for treats being slipped under the table...

Yours truly has even mixed up the Charmed Pot a little bit by adding an interview with--- well, wouldn't you like to know? I'm not telling you, yet. So there.
