  1. Very nice zissou. Love the turquoise lake.

    The RxCs spent some time in Portland, OR visiting the inlaws.

    Brother-in-laws's farmhouse, undergoing renovations:

    Our room. No windows currently, as priming is taking place, so the bedroom was in the 90s during the day, 50s at night, and Jaime and Elior materialized looking in promptly at 8am. I hope they were scandalized:

    The brother-in-law is a Pacific Coast Trail hiker and leads that lifestyle, so there is a random, rotating batch of roomates, who frankly can be a bit much, but the current batch were awesome. There is a couple who run an organic nursery/feed store/livestock emporium (Naomi's Nursery) who are currently displaced due to a dispute with their ass-hole former landlord. They had to temporarily move most of their nursery stock and feed into my B-I-Ls place. There are potted plants and feed bags all over the place, along with various parts of infrastructure. They also brought along their poultry livestock- a flock of about 12 laying-hens, a rooster, and three ducks.

    This is the B-I-L & me with Octavius (an especially small Dutch Bantam) and Bumblfina (a large black hen about three times Octavius' size). They have the run of the place.

    The other hens and the ducks are confined to a large chicken-wire cage out back:

    (The last one is Octavius again).

  2. I do the same as afusmc for the first six months, then wash as needed. Seems to work well. For some reason they never seem so dirty or smell so bad until after the first wash, maybe because the starch makes them somewhat water repellant? After that mark i can't seem to go for much longer than a month without washing before they get on my nerves.

    CTB- I also have found that wearing only one pair of jeans gets old and limits the wardrobe choices. Skinny jackets with full-cut jeans and vice-versa looks stupid. Nice to have some variety.

  3. Pomata, soorry the jeans never worked out for you (though I thought they looked quite good on). Good for you passing them on so someone else can get a shot at them.

    I was likewise impressed by Ran and aho passing theirs on when they decided they couldn't give them the love they deserved.

    Class acts, all around.

  4. Very good almostnice- upright again!

    This weekend the Roys took a trip to Monterey, CA.

    First, a few pics from Friday night at Nojo in SF for Ran & Mike:

    Chicken skin, sea salt & lemon.

    Tsukune with egg yolk sauce.

    Early next morning, escaped the fog by heading south on CA-101:

    Into fog again in Monterey:

    Witnessed a Quinceañera on the beach:

    And some local punk rock teenagers killing time:

    For dinner I had to abandon the Roys for a while, as they are severely over-due for a wash and I had to be presentable (and not smell like grass) for dinner. So there was a blank period:
