214 - The Pest

Always trying to finagle his way into photographs.  First  it was Norman.  Then it was Tom.  Now it's me he's terrorizing.

See what I mean?  He thinks he's the next star.  I just can't get rid of him!

208 - Dinner Tonight

Done in a crockpot!  A little bacon, a little green onion, bell peppers (red and green) and some marinara sauce from Chef Batali, and 7 hours of love.  On a bed of multi-color wheat rotini.  Ba-ba-ba-bad to the bone!

204 - The Butterfly

203 - The Nieces

202 - Nieces in Pool

How  quickly they grow up. It seems like only yesterday I was watching them through the glass in the  nursery.

Of course my  baby boy Domino, aka Dom-Dom.  A very loving  puppy.  Below  is  my chubby baby girl-Onyx.  Was not able to take a tons of pix of my babies 'cause they didn't stay still very long. 

As soon as they heard the dogs talking smack in the back, they had to start having discussions with them.  They are like a gang.  If they know you, they will love you to death. If they don't...  Here  they are  deep in their "discussion" with the neighbors.

Oh, and my obligatory Wind Chime image.

197 - Light Breakfast

Waiting for the A/C guy (again!)  Made a very light breakfast.  My new, lighter breakfasts.

196 - Still Kicking

I am watering them every morning and evening.

195 - Still Alive

My lawn care service saw my passel of flowers from the 99 cents store and planted them for me. I have been deep watering them to keep them alive.  Sun is hot today.

194 - New Flowers

I have new flowers in my front yard.  Hopefully I won't kill these too.

193 - Gauges

I found my car was measuring tire pressures all along!

192 - Pattern

191 - Good Morning

I went inside to get a bag and when I came out the view had changed.  Nothing has been done to this photo-including filters.  This is as it was.

190 - Yesterday's Flight

THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS. I'VE TURNED IT ON SO THE CREW CAN SEE WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS!

Trying to get the right images to help show the flight track.

Chameleon (L) and Blue Dahlia (R)

Dale inspecting the envelope and parachute.

Blue Drifter launched!  A second ago, the guy on the bottom was in the hanging on to the basket.

My ride is leaving!

It's become real!

The small late (you can see it on Yahoo and Google maps.  Lots of people walking around it during launch preparations.

Crossing the 290 at Huffington.  If you pull back on the google map you will see a bat-shaped lake (find my Places on Facebook) which is where we started. The hospital on the right is located at the 290 frontage road and Huffington. 

You should be able to easily figure out the track from the image above to this image.  Note the tower to our left and the warehouse buildings just on the other side of Blue Dahlia.

Chameleon is a 105,000 square foot balloon (a soccer ball is about 1 square foot) and that's a good thing cause with me in the basket it was needed.
