That is an unusual looking cat, Fred. He (she?) kinda looks like a bat.
I have heard that if a dog's master dies unattended in a house and the body is not found for weeks, that often the body of the dog will also be found nearby. It is also said that a cat will never go hungry under the same circumstances.

Thanks for that, Joe.
That's just like Barb's husband telling me the other day why he doesn't ride motorcycles.... when I've got 90 miles to get home....
(he does know I was just joking with him doesn't he, Barb?)
Hey Fred - Andy just posted something about cups and helmets you might want to read.
Awww! They both look soooo sweet!

Today's project.
I finally got around to putting a new area light up. I had to mount it under Penelec's light because they've been dragging their feet getting out here to disconnect the old one. I'm really looking forward to lighting things up again, especially when I let my dogs out.
And how cool is this boom lift? I just happened to see it at the local grocery store yesterday. They were done with it at noon today, so I took control of it. I can run it back to the rental place tomorrow at 12:30 and still only be charged half a day. I had no idea they made tow behind lifts.

I wish I had some other things to do that I needed it for, just to get more use out of it, but it was not fun. I have a touch of vertigo when I'm not on something solid. I can overcome it, but I need to concentrate.
You're more than welcome to come play on it though
My beloved (she truly IS) stepmother has always had Siamese and they are a pain in the dupa!
Grey tabby cats are the best, because they are the most cat-like cats! And they are truly CUTE!

I love that picture of your cat, Lee! I swear, you must have chosen the couch to compliment his beautiful coloring.
Well, Terry, "compliment" was not the word I had in mind when I shopped for a couch. "Camouflage" or hiding cat hair was the reason I chose it. Seriously. It worked!
Bud loves the furniture set. He's clawed up almost every corner.

I would need to have a patchwork couch on that basis Lee - too many cats to camouflage!!! LOL Red/ginger has become the predominant colour though recently with four in the house and one outside. They wouuld have done well in my childhood house of the 70's where orange was a well-featured colour - yuck!

So I've had some ongoing problems with Direct TV after leaving Dish Network, but the picture is much more crisp and I haven't had to call them in a few weeks... until yesterday. In preparation for the Michigan/ND game, I realized that I did not have the channel it was being broadcast on, ABC. I filed a waiver to receive the major networks because DTV does not offer local channels in my area, so I was granted permissioin to receive the big four out of NYC... or so I thought. Apparently ABC denied the request. I was hot.
It took one hour sixteen minutes on the phone and three different tiers, but the pic below shows it was well worth it.
Their "retention department" has given me every channel they have free for six months, $20 off of my current bill for one year, upgraded my HD package with five other channels for life and the best thing of all.... The NFL Ticket! In HD! And with the package that allows me to watch eight games at once! How cool is that! He had to write the ticket up for 16/month, but with the $20 off I'm getting for the next year, it covers it plus some.
This thing is pretty cool. You can hilite the audio on the channel you want to listen to, and of course tune directly to that channel from this screen.
I need someone to make me some snacks and refill my glass
Persistent bugger, aren't I?
