Scattered bunch of crap going on...

Saturday was a pretty good day for me. I spent most of the day working with my artist Michael from HipHopWallStreet. We were able to lay down 4 vocal tracks from him and two from his cousin. Michael is a young motivational speaker and he uses Hip Hop to deliver his messages. We also taped 4 video commercial spots to promote his work. Two weeks ago, I was working with him and Tony (guitarist) from the Winans to lay down some other tracks. For those who don't know that I am a music producer, well this is one of the artist I work for. I have another but his contract is pending and I can't discuss him right now.

Spent most of Sunday in cleaning house and not much of anything else. Later that evening, I finished the rest of my class work. Scored a 90% on my DBMS test and 100% on my Disaster Recovery test so all is good with the world.

Monday was pretty much the same as any other day. I did manage to complete editing some documents I had been putting on the back burner. Also got in a little bit of blog time after completing my task for the day. Yes, I keep my office neat.

Tuesday was as usual. Did pretty much the same as monday. I had an eye appointment to get my eyes checked, I'm 50 years old people. The don't see like they use to. I broke my extra set and my primary set has to many scratches to be effective any more. Well, my eyes are fine and I was able to get a nice pair of glasses for $24 after all my great state health plan deductions. I'll post a picture of me wearing my new glasses when they come in.

Got home and took Ginger to the dog park. My friend Tracy was at the park with her dog Chance so I got a picture of them both. No she is not an item in my life so don't even think it. We had a bit of excitement at the park that day. One of the dogs cornered a squirrel and caught it and was running around the park with the poor squirrel in her mouth with the squirrel still crying out. By the time someone was able to catch the dog, she had killed the squirrel but not without receiving a last act of defiance bite on her front left paw. The dogs owner was in shock and some of the other park patrons helped her to her car and got her dog to the vet to get the wound cleaned and dressed. Everyone else was pretty shaken for the rest of the evening. Some of Ginger's playmates showed up later so we stayed until 9:00 so she could get some play time in.

So that wraps up this week so far. I'm sure I'll have a new story from my Oceanside trip this weekend. Drop your comments and tell me what your thinking. So any questions about what I do for a living or for leisure, nows your time to ask.

Sounds like an excited trip to the dog park! I would stroke out if Cute Dog ever caught a squirrel...

A very exciting day at the park! That is just amazing! (in a weird sort of way, ya know?).

My old cat caught a small rabbit one time when I was little. I brought her in the house and made her let it go. Yes, then we had to let her hunt the rabbit in the house because we couldn't catch it. Nobody said I was the swiftest kid in town. On the second catching, Ruby got bit in the lip by the rabbit.

Best way to get a dog to drop something in its mouth: Throw something it loves (like a stick, a ball, a favorite toy). They'll usually fly to the fave with whatever still in the mouth, then drop what's in the mouth to grab the fave while they hold a paw over the thing they had in the mouth. It's easier to fight the paw than the mouth (as squirrel on the way out of this world did).

The doggie first aid kit from PetSmart or the vet (if the vet carries one) is a must for dog parks and woods walks. So much better than cleaning the blood from the car.
