The Ghillie Suit

The Josh wanted to go as a sniper for Halloween. Sadly, the costume did not get started until October.....two weeks before Halloween. Yeah Yeah Yeah I know. Craziness. After much research I came up with a plan on how to construct the ghillie suit. Much burlap was purchased and dyed. I am a little worried about what our neighbors think of us now seeing the burlap was drying on the front porch. The burlap was dyed browns, greens, black, tan, and grays. Each The Sunday before Halloween is when the actual ghillie suit started to take form.

This is after the two days of connecting the burlap.

Here it is in the dark.

Here is the ghillie suit on the ground.

Here is the finished object.

All that is left to do is make the hat.

It took over 95 hours to attach the burlap. I think I will be waiting a little while before I start on that.

Happy NaBloPoMo!

Happy November! It has been ages since I have blogged at all. Lets see if I can make it for the entire month of November. This week I want to download the pictures on my camera. Once that occurs I will throw them up for all to see. This weekend was very interesting.

Tonight will be a short post due to having a really long week last week. I think I just need to decompress a bit. So tonight that will mean some puppy love and learning my way around my new work lappy. Windows 7 seems to be interesting....

Here is a quick photo of the puppy love I am looking forward to!

Not a huge surprise

You're 80% Irish

Congratulations, you're a shining example of an Irish lass (or lad). There's hardly anyone more Irish than you!

Elvis lives in Jacksonville!

Upon my many hours working in Jacksonville I have come across Elvis. Yes Elvis is alive and living in one of Jacksonville's low income areas. He often approaches my coworkers and me to talk, invite us to dinner with his family, and over for beers after work. Yesterday, I received a very interesting offer. While collecting GPS coordinates, he approached me and stated, "I have a bed in my bedroom." The only way I could respond to him was with a dumbfounded look. I am pretty sure that my jaw was hanging open. He then added, "You can rent it for 75 dollars a week." For the remainder of the day when ever I would be working around him he would resume talking about this "room for rent" .....

Needless to say, I have not taken him up on that offer.

It could be true.....

Maybe this is why they are still haveing the Great Fork Rebellion....

House Numerology

House Number 9
Humanitarian and Pet lovers live in nine houses. It will attract those who live to save the little guy. Medical people, visionaries and social workers love to live in a nine house. When living in a nine house, one may find that their psychic awareness develops a lot quicker.

Keep it tidy and safe, for this house activates the tendencies to become accident-prone.

Positive Colour Suggestions: Yellow, Pink, Violet and Indigo.

Hilarious food-related superstitions!

On the Chinese New Year, lettuce is said to bring good fortune.

 

If you see bubbles in your coffee cup, spoon them into your mouth before they burst, and you'll get money from somewhere unexpected. (Like the lawsuit against the coffeehouse that served you the soapy coffee, perhaps?)

 

Everyone knows the superstition of throwing salt over your left shoulder to keep evil spirits away. Well according to Greek folklore, salt can also be used to get rid of unwanted guests. BTW, Greeks also believe that Tuesday the 13th is unlucky, not Friday the 13th.

 

To cure baldness, pour rum on a hairless head. (Note: Do not do this to a baldy without warning.)

 

In some Asian cultures, long noodles represent a long life -- cutting your noodles before eating them is like cutting your life short.

Photo of the day!

Strawberry's from plant city

Behold the glory of the Lepidocyclina!

I have had this rock for two years.




I picked it up while drilling in the Leesburg area. The depth of the rock was approximately 80 feet. The fossils in the rock have always been known to me as potato chips. As of today they have a real identification! . The fossil is a Lepidocyclina. It is from the Ocala Limestone from the Late Eocene.

Life is pain!

Your result for The Personality Defect Test...

Emo Kid

You are 29% Rational, 43% Extroverted, 43% Brutal, and 0% Arrogant.

You are the Emo Kid, best described as a quiet pussy! You tend to be an intuitive rather than a logical thinker, meaning you rely more on your feelings than your thoughts. Not only that, but you are introverted, gentle, and rather humble. You embody all the traits of the perfect emo kid. You are a push-over, an emotional thinker, gentle to the extent of absurdity, and so humble that it even makes Jesus puke. (And Jesus almost never pukes, being immortal and not requiring an act of puke to dispell toxins from his corporeal manifestation.) If you write poetry, you no doubt write angsty, syrupy lines about depression, sadness, and other such redundant states of emo-being that go something like this:

life is a spike / upon which i have impaled mysefl / fuck you dad

So, your personality is defective because you are too gentle, rather underconfident in yourself, decidely lacking in any rational thought, and also a bit too inhibited. Plus, your poetry really upsets your father.

I probably made you cry, didn't I? Fucking Emo Kid.

To put it less negatively:

1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.

2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Smartass.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Televangelist, and the Starving Artist.

*

*

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.

The other personality types:

The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

About Saint_Gasoline

I am a self-proclaimed pseudo-intellectual who loves dashes. I enjoy science, philosophy, and fart jokes and water balloons, not necessarily in that order. I spend 95% of my time online, and the other 5% of my time in the bathroom, longing to get back on the computer.

Halloween Fun

At work we had a pumpkin carving contest. The pumpkin I carved received the third place trophy.


On Halloween I put Rangers sweater on him that I knitted and we handed out candy. I had to use our backup sweater from last year (the shark sweater) because I was unable to find the one I made him this year. Later I found out Josh had it in the washer.....*sigh*

I Voted!

Kelly John and I went to vote today.

We were suppose to be there around 7 am....however, I woke up late so we did not get there until 8am. The line was already oh so long. Luckily, Kelly and I brought knitting to work on. I worked on two of my Christmas gifts for this year. I would have finished the cowl but i ran out of yarn :( So I got to work on the AWESOME Irish Hiking scarf take 2 (this one is for my dad). Kelly casted on sock in the car and got to about the heel turn before we got into vote. While waiting in line we must have heard the same line at least 20 times. "You are going to be finished with that before you get to the front of the line." Yeah funny the first 10 times....after that we just laughed and agreed. All in all it was a good morning. I know after voting I came home and took a much needed nap.

Ahoy!

My pirate name is:

Black Mary Flint

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
