Thinking about turtles

Today I was thinking about turtles.  They are cool.
we had a pair of turtles when we lived in Campbell
Ca.  Seems that the guy at the pet store was a newbie.
He sold us some soft shelled turtles that were more
expensive than the box turtles we were supposed to
get.  They, called and we took them back to the guy.
We didn't get the box turtles after all.  They were
living in our bathtub so you know that wasn't going
to last.

I want to bake a Papa Murphy's pie one of these days.
Papa Murphy is take out pizza, where you get the
pie with all raw stuff, and bake it at home, they weigh
close to 5 pounds for a combination. They are BIG!!!
The only problem with this setup is getting the pie to
the apartment in one piece, being 5 LBS they are a
little on the floppy side.  The store I'm thinking about
is near the College on Mendicino. 

I picked up a new set of headphones with a boom mic
and a web cam.  To the tune of around $ 35.00 This
will surely help me make Video calls to family and
friends.  I don't know how else to describe them.
The cans (headphones) are comfortable, they fit fine.
The camera is a wee little thing, but it takes
exceptional video.  Who knows maybe some day
I'll be seeing you on Google Chat or Skype. 

Pesto is a heavy kitty, I was showing her off to Scott
in video conferencing last night, Scott gave me a walk
around tour of his flat.  She was resting on the arm of
my couch right behind my head. He said introduce me
to this kitty of yours, and i plucked her off the couch
and held her up to the camera and she wanted to get
down.  She comes up on the bed at night and purrs
her little heart out, but she hates to be picked up and
held.  I think it's mostly because of her weight.  She,
tolerates petting and brushing and like I said her little
motor really starts revving when she gets brushed or
any kind of attention.

Scott, was conducting the tour of his flat with his
iPhone, that was pretty cool.  Lets all hope that he
gets rehired by J.C. Penny, as a full time employee
this time, we can hope and pray for this.

Theresa, called a week ago, I'll have to give her a call.
I wonder if she has Skype or Google + hangouts.
Well that's about the sum and total of my free writing
stamina for today.  So, now a proofread and a publish.
And another post will be finished.

.22 ruger airgun

Yes, I know I get it, you need to write every day.

I will try hard to write more as days go by.  Facebook
is great, everybody is so nice. I'm going to be doing the
Skype thing.  I think that once my dad has his Skype
set up we can talk for less on the Skype line.

I just recently installed Skype and had a lot of problems.
Then I checked in the 'unused desktop icons' folder and
found that I already have Skype installed.  I tried a few
contacts and there was no connection. Don't know
what's going on with that, but I'll try some more later.
Seems to me like it kept stalling at the 50% mark.  I think
it's $ 3.75 for a month and $ 20.00 for a year.  I just
wonder if they would take a traveler's check or a money
order.  Sure hope so.

I picked up taco shells, a quart and a half of double
fudge brownie ice cream, ground meat, grated cheese,
romaine lettuce, a turkey breast, a rack of ribs, some
cat food and some kitty litter.  That was all at Target.
Of course the reason i was at Target was because I
wanted to pick up a bread making machine. They
didn't have them or they were all sold out.  I'll call
back and talk to customer service about a rain check.
The ribs are pretty much thawed.  I'm thinking about
just putting them in the oven at 200 degrees for like
5 hours.  They should be done by then.  Not much
meat on these pork baby back ribs anyway.  I ate the
whole quart and a half of double fudge brownie ice
cream.  A quart of milk, 3 tacos with romaine and
grated cheddar and jack.  Then I jumped in a hot shower
and soaked until I felt like a wet noodle.  That left me
dripping with perspiration.  Which strangely enough
feels real refreshing.

I misplaced the screws to screw the bike rack onto
the back of the bike.  I want that so that I can hang
paniers on the there.  So far the bike only has 2 speeds
slow and slower.  It's okay, I'll get around to getting it
fixed sooner or later.  Was going to pick up a Ruger
.22 cal Airgun but there's no place to shoot it. So I
might skip that.  It's not like they are going to stop
selling air guns.

Pesto is obese, I can't believe that didn't trigger the
spell checker, 'obese' apparently that is the correct
spelling.  Nice that there's a spelling checker built into
this blogger.

Well the blog started quickly, and now it will come to
a rest as quickly as it got started.  Look for more in the
future.  I'm all in on this Blogging adventure.  Hope that
something comes of it.  Toodles TTFN
