So, it looks like the new cattreehouse is a hit.  It would be kind of nice to see more than one cat on it. I guess that they need to get used to it. Whenever, I’ll be ready with the camera!

The topic: I don’t understand

----------------------------------------------

So, Brian’s working on selling these sidelinks for tractors.  There is some work in putting them together, bending metal, putting in holes and welding.  So, Brian’s a little upset that his brother hasn’t had the time to do the welding.  His brother has a ton on his plate, Brian understands that, but Brian’s looking at it from the point of view that the guy has paid for this little piece of equipment, he has to get it made and out.  So I asked Brian why he couldn’t weld it himself?  He said “well, he’s better at it than me”. 

OMG.  These sidelinks are Brian’s baby, he shouldn’t put himself in a position where he depends on someone else, you know?  

I guess I found out early in life that depending on others isn’t the way to get things done.  Even as long as I’ve had a website, early on I ran my own forums and my own postcard site and my own photo albums.  Because I had control of them. And goodness knows, stuff on the web is here one day and gone tomorrow, along with your monthly payment.

My very first website was on GeoCities. And where are they now?  Gone.  Eaten up by other companies. 

Nope, I’d rather do it myself than depend on someone else.

And I think Brian is going to start practicing welding.  So he’ll get good at it, too.  And this makes me happy.  Because I’m not a big believer on having to depend on someone else to do what has to be done.

The topic: This is really odd

----------------------------------------------

There are no cats (except Charlie Tuna, who followed me out) in the backyard.  None. Nada.

The door from the garage to the yard is open.  All the way, so there is no problem for the cats getting in an out. 

It’s not like it’s all that cold, there are high clouds, it’s about 60°.  So, why are there no cats in the backyard? Why are they in the house?

I count ten in the bedroom, eight in the living room, eight in the family room and four in the office. There are a few in the garage.

The furnace goes off at ten, it’s after ten and I’ve opened up the house. Potter and Peter have joined Charlie. With the house open, it shouldn’t be too long until more cats go outside.

Then I can vacuum.
