 You do like pockets. Hello people. It is Monday morning 8 13 a.m. We like pockets I'm gonna film a few little clips here to put into vlogs because it is been a family wedding weekend and my vlogging and speaking to the camera has been inconsistent at best So I'll do what I can You like it All right, good morning everybody. So if you are watching this clip then you have already seen the clips of my brother's wedding Yes, I wasn't supposed to film anything, but you know, I did anyway Anyway, we spent Sunday. I'm sorry Saturday evening after we landed at my brother's house With family and friends and meeting his new family His new wife and her all of her family her kids her Almost at her in-laws. That's not what I meant her parents her siblings and all of that stuff They're church friends and all of that. So We met all them and that was a really fun evening wedding and It was at a beautiful location called the pond at Casey Orchard here in Redlands, California If you need an event venue, I would recommend it It was so good and the food was excellent the food was done by a friend of my dad's and brothers I will try to get their name if they have online information. I know she's got Facebook She's already asked me For my information. She said she's gonna look me up, but I'll try to get their information link it down below they do smoked meats and barbecue and You know, how many times have you been to a wedding? Or the venue is gorgeous the wedding is beautiful and the food sucks. I Mean we've all been there, right? The food was so good. I can't even tell you all and it was just such a fun time. So anyway, now we get to Monday Monday morning. I almost said Sunday. It's Monday morning. I've lost track of days We are headed downstairs to try to grab some breakfast before they close it and we have a Two-something-ish flight right before three o'clock home Hopefully we can land and it's not too bumpy We are getting slammed with the storms that are hitting the Pacific Northwest and Quite a bit of the West Coast actually yesterday. I think was a bad wind day. So Kind of maybe glad we didn't go home yesterday in the wedding was yesterday. Maybe yeah, I'll let you know We'll see if it does get weird. I will probably film something, you know me. All right, I'll be back There's a California culture shock for both of us the first day we landed I realized I've forgotten a couple things. So we ran over to the Walmart, which is not too far from where we're at and Everything in the Hello, beauty. I owe was behind locked doors. We don't have that in Oregon Like you couldn't get so much as a pair of tweezers, which is what I forgot Without calling for assistance Um People steal tweezers You guys have that where you are. We don't have that in Oregon I haven't seen that since I worked on the east side of San Jose, which just for those who don't know is the bad side of town Yeah, and evidently it's very common down here everywhere not just on the bad side of town Having the lot helping everything locked up at the Walmart. It was weird Anyway Nice place to visit California, but I want to go home now Weird thing for me to say since I'm a California native All right, I'll be back. I just commented on on our way out the door just like the Sacramento trip Despite signs being posted to wear a mask Most people aren't wearing a mask. It's very different from Oregon Yeah, I'll be back. Look at the elevator to come. We'll take you on the sketchiest elevator ride on the planet Yeah It's a little weird. You might just have to take the stairs Okay, you didn't get the sound effects of the elevator because we had a Another person in the elevator, but you did see the lights jump from one to three because number two doesn't work But the sounds the elevator makes Yeah, that's shit scary That's all I can say about that. All right, I do think we're going to go drive around and the husband suggested Hey, why don't we find Daiso? So I think we're gonna try going to Daiso, which I didn't think we were gonna get to this trip, but Will they have anything has the supply chain like really messed up the store who knows? I don't know But I guess we'll find out. I'll be back everybody Obviously when the car got to push the seat up because yeah Bob is much taller than me in case you didn't know he's six foot one. I'm Like five two and a half on a good day. Anyway, I Had a post I needed to write and schedule for artsy trio Thank you Mike and Bea for reminding me because to be honest, I almost forgot. I probably would have not remembered until tomorrow morning But it's done and it's scheduled and it will go up tomorrow I still have to edit the vlog from last week and figure out how exactly I'm gonna do that With the traveling and everything and not really filming a closing clip But first I need to go to the post office and check the PO box I need to mail a package to my friend Leslie McGrath And I need to go. Oh, I need to go get groceries, but I forgot the list. Hold on. I'll be right back Got it I got all my chores done for the day catching up on things like laundry and dishes and grocery shopping and all of that stuff but also the bonus chores of Having to put all the Halloween Pumpkins and things that might blow away easy and high winds away in the garage. I've just put them back We're still getting rain and some wind, but we're not supposed to get any more super high wind So hopefully they don't blow down the street. I guess we'll find out Anyway, the vlog is edited and set to load tomorrow morning. I'll have an RC Trio video coming out in the morning Got all the shopping done. I think there's a couple things of course because broken supply chain. I couldn't find Bob needed chips for his lunch and he gets the We get the multi bags of the small chips You know the little snack chips packs. Anyway, they literally had one bag of small packs of chips One So he got the one hopefully that one works He's a particular kind of bread. He likes They only had two loaves of that bread. I bought one of them Like the whole shopping trip was like that and it's been like that occasionally on and off since COVID started So while it doesn't completely surprise me The things that are just off the shelf hurt. It's always so weird Anyway, I'm gonna leave a little early to pick my dad up at the airport tomorrow and Try to stop at a different store pick up a couple things that they didn't have. I don't know We'll see Anyway, I'll anybody else agree with me that there's just something about that although it's messy that it's really pretty All the leaves on the ground We are headed out for our evening walk I don't know how many pictures. I'm gonna take because it is a little chilly out I'm gonna put my gloves on but this is me I'll probably get hot at some point and take the gloves off because you know He's the one that gets freezing cold. I'm the one that gets hot Justice fingers. Yeah, he gets cold Anyway, I'll be back Over 27th 947 a.m It is of course overcast Still raining on and off leaves everywhere because of welcome fall I'm gonna come outside here a bit and make sure no pumpkins blew away down the street Because yeah, that's a thing We also have the coyotes visiting a lot I Think they're looking for food Maybe water. I don't know. I'm going to take the Bowls which at this point are just filled with pine needles and icky water and I'm gonna dump them out and bring them in the back I have to go get my dad at the airport this morning Well, he lands just after lunch, but I'm gonna leave around 11 o'clock or so because you know It's COVID and we have a broken supply chain and can you get everything at the store when you go anymore? Of course not So I'm gonna have to go to at least three different stores this morning one of which is to pick up my prescription and I was trying to search their Store inventory online, which you'd think at this point two years into the Pandemic the stores would get more on board with that But anyway, I understand the logistics behind me making that a little difficult Anyway, they don't seem to have in stock anything else I need so I'm gonna go get my prescription I'm gonna go to one store for some Faced stuff that I need that I'm running out of and then I need to go get some food things I couldn't find yesterday at Fred Meyer or Safeway I'll hit up a different store and see if they have it. I don't know anyway That's my day. How about you? I'll be back. So I got A few things done around the house including getting up on the ladder and cleaning out some weeds Aka pine needles from our front gutter Which for some reason the previous owners have caps on all the gutters except for the one in the front down low So I don't know the logic is behind that but at some point we might want to put a cap on it. Anyway Got it all the majority of them biggest clog Cleaned out. I don't wait for Bob to do the rest because there's nothing for me to hold on to you And my middle name is not grace I'm not the most stable on the ground much less up on a high ladder. So made it to the cell phone waiting area Got all my errands done except evidently all of the expired medication boxes in my area are full and so Yeah, so the one thing I didn't Get done Was dispose of all my expired inhalers Or expires rescue inhalers and some of them are very very expired like 2019 or older I already disposed of the ones that were 2012 and 2015 Yeah, I had some of them bone broth. Anyway, so yeah, that was the one thing I didn't get done So I guess I'll just leave the baggie in the car Till the next time I'm at a right aid or a Walgreens and see if I can drop it off They're boxes in full or CVS And yes, I have a lot of them because it's like an Person with severe allergies and they're EpiPens. You don't just have one you have one in your handbag You have one in your kitchen. You have one in your bedroom. You have one in your office like you have them everywhere Because you don't want to be without it should something happen asmatics are the same way Just Having one would make me insane Having to try to remember where I put it down last With my luck I'd have an asthma attack and it'd be downstairs and I'd be upstairs. So Hey guys, so it's been another busy day We only went away for like three days and things have been nuts since we got back Anyway, we're gonna go on a walk now Get some steps in I Feel a few little drizzly drips on my head, but nothing big. I'm not the wicked witch. I Don't think anyways Like starting off the morning In a good way with a chit chat with my sister Elizabeth, which was good. And by the way She and I were discussing supply chain issues. She lives in the state of Utah and Here's a picture of her cold case where there should be cream cheese Yeah, that's a thing. I know you all can relate I know there's different sections and different stores every time you come in across the country probably around the world Where things just are not where they used to be and they're just not in stock So we're all having to make substitutions. Anyway fun times We also had all of the Wi-Fi booster pods all go down at once today and The gateway is working and I do sort of have a signal, but this is a big house and without the pods The signal is not the best For Wi-Fi eat the main computers are on Ethernet, so they're fine. Anyway, I Am probably gonna have to restart the gateway But Bob is in a meeting and so when he breaks for lunch we can do that but right now we cannot do that He's in a meeting So if I can't fix it Any other way, I don't yeah, I don't know. All right, I think we got the pods back online But I don't know what we did to get them there anyway, I also made some small little envelopes and If you want to know how I did what I did why I did it You have to be a patron or supporter the video is over there And it's just for them along with the pattern that I created for what I did They also get previews of some of my artwork and posts Or or they get an only look nobody else gets a look. So, you know, if you want Direct contact with me, that's another thing they get we have a private support group just for patrons and supporters In Facebook a chat group and where we can discuss our art problems sometimes life problems, you know all that stuff anyway I'm gonna edit this patron video. I'm gonna get it up over there I'm gonna get the template up over there and all of that stuff and then it will be just about lunchtime. So Anyway Oops Accidental still image of myself Anyway, Mr. Bob and I are finally headed out. Sure. Mr. Bob and I are finally headed out to work now I look less like a crazy person Headed out to work headed out to walk. It has been a crazy day between a cleaning lady and emails and phone calls and Mr. Bob has been called it back into his desk for work every five minutes Even after work hours. And so yeah, we're gonna go get some steps really quick It's darker than normal because it's later than normal How about feeling we're eating at nine o'clock at night? At least I am yeah, yeah, I kind of hope not but anyway, he's walking backwards I'm gonna stop now before he trips and hurts himself. I'll be back everybody. It is Friday morning Friday sometime October 29th 1015 a.m It's probably a quiet day. I don't have to rush to go anywhere I didn't have to rush to put my pajamas on my clothes on and get out of my pajamas I didn't have to rush through my coffee I call that a win All right, it is dark as you can see the lighting is kind of funky because It's still storming out. I do think it's supposed to stop raining today sometime, but we'll see Anyway, that's it for the minute. I'm gonna go answer that question. I'll be back Okay, so I'm currently in the midst of creating an unlisted completely unlisted YouTube channel for patrons and supporters Don't try to search my name because you won't find it that way ha Anyway, if you want to know the channel you want to see the videos you want to see the links You have to be a patron as a supporter. The link is down below and my link tree list the links and stuff check it out Anyway, while I've been doing that in between that I've been finishing up my sketchbook Pictures for which are also gonna be over in patreon first before social media season. Anyway, and I started a new one I picked up created a new one So Hey, okay, I Haven't really gotten any steps in up and down the stairs, but I feel like I'm making progress All right, I do wish I could transfer video from Dropbox directly to YouTube But no matter what anybody tells you it doesn't work All right, I'll be back. Can you see me now? All right, let's see jump mail. I don't know what that is Might be junk mail, but we'll see This is the this is the one this is from my friend Leslie She sent a priority mail, which I appreciate Leslie, but you didn't have to do that But thank you. I sent her some stuff to her. I think she got it today. She wrapped them up so well. Can I get in there? I don't have an electronic die cutting system anymore I found them extremely frustrated by beyond belief. So when I need Something cut I Send it to Leslie or ask Leslie or one of my other friends who have some machine if they don't mind cutting me some things I had some feather tags. I had gotten from Hampton arts or I don't know somebody I told her I really liked them, but I couldn't get any more She says let me see what I can do. So she found a feather picture On her for her die cutting machine and look where she cut me And I could very easily make them into tags by punching a hole up here How cute are these and how cute are these gonna be on paper clusters and library pockets? Then she sent me look at these There's a whole bunch of charms Which would be cute on the tags Thank you Leslie appreciate it. It's Friday. Mr. Got off work early So we'll cut the five That's early. He not only works in high-tech. He's a workaholic Like when the dude gets off work at five in the old days he showed up at the front door at five o'clock I'd say what happened you get fired. Yeah, not today. Anyway, we're gonna go for a walk and Yeah Enjoy the rest of our evening family dinner night is tomorrow night instead of tonight and because we're doing Oktoberfest and my dad is coming and I think son-in-law's dad is coming and yeah, so anyway, I'll get pictures of where I can All right, I'll be back I'm standing back at the corner I walked backwards because I want to show you this is a lot of leaves Hold on. It's just a little bitty pile You think the whole block October 30th 11 31 ish a.m. As you just saw I had collected some fall leaves Last night on our walk and also this morning from our driveway and I rinsed them all off to debug them and Then put them between wax paper and a book. That's how I dry all my botanicals And sometimes they get moldy and they don't dry well But most of the time they do just fine and then once they're nice and dry after a week or so sometimes it takes a little longer Then I can use them in my journal pages I can lamp laminate them and use them on paper clusters like all kinds of stuff. So anyway, hey guys, it is 11 Hold on 1150 p.m Yeah Saturday night We're still awake But we had coffee that might be coffee. That might be why and yes Crazy pants is over there laying on top of grandpa So we had a nice family dinner this evening We did as I said earlier some German food and celebration of October Fest since we didn't get to go to October Fest this year. Thank you COVID And it was a really great time great time with the family Polly is his dad was here because he's helping them with some work and my dad drove down and it's all good We weren't supposed to have crazy pants No, but her house is Fairly disassembled.

So Bob didn't even ask me. He said why don't you just leave Lily here at least for the night? It's okay with me by the way did he didn't he apologize later. I should have asked you I said, you know It's fine So anyway, we have Lily I Spent the day transferring mine. No No, look, I mean look at her paws in the air. He's pet me Doesn't bother you.
