Skunkworks, Walks, Alameda Flea Market, Urban Ore, and More

In the month-long break from working for money, I’ve been to Tahoe and enjoyed being out and about during daylight. But for the past three weeks, I’ve been at work on a secret project dubbed “Skunkworks”.

Since J’s new work schedule dictates getting up early, I’ve actually been trying to get my day’s work out of the way between 8AM and lunch time. I can’t reveal what this project is yet, but I hope that it will lead somewhere. It has been both daunting and fun.

Until then, here are some photos from play time.

Sinister garage.

Take me down to big dog city, where the grass is green and the girls are bitchy.

No longer remote.

Now I’m off to Dallas to pet some cats, get bitten by raccoons, and spend time with family.

Aloha.
