Well, I just finished going back and redoing all the photos from Da Mystery Road Trip Revealed from 2009. I decided that I wasn’t happy with having all our photos messed up like that; and I’d worked too darn hard to upload them in the first place. I’m glad I did it. It took a long time, but it was worth it.
So now, here we are, back to our Montana Road Trip. Finally.
I wasn’t able to spin as much as I’d hoped to, but I did get some stuff done during this year’s TdF… my spinning challenge Numbah One was to finish spinning the red/yellow/pink braid and to work on continuing to spin Maxwell’s fleece. Who’s Maxwell? He was an adorable Shetland sheep that I met one day several years ago. You can read about him and his brother here.
So I happened to go back to some posts from about 2009, and found that all my photos have been blurred/watermarked by Photobucket. Because I’m now over their limit, which used to be free web-hosting. Which is why I added them there, because at the time it was easier to download my photos from there. So now I have to go back and upload them from my computer (after I’ve found the right folders) and re-add them.
Which is why I haven’t been writing much. I’m also doing Tour de Fleece again this year and it’s been a busy summer…but I’m gonna try write here more often in between re-doing all my photos. Sheesh.
Some peeps have asked me hakum I love trains so much. I think part of it was because my Papa-san worked for the Kahului Railroad on Maui. I have some photos he took of the old trains when he was there. Lidis one:
K’den. We’re still following the Snake River heading makai (towards the sea) and will soon be turning south.
Last time, ‘way last time, like last December, we’d just driven into the city of Lewiston, Idaho, after winding our way down the Old Spiral Highway. What a trip that was! And now, we are about to head down towards the Palouse country once again.
I’m so happy I can finally spin again! I still can’t do it for hours and hours, but it’s good PT for my knees and it brings me such joy to be able to be at my wheels again.
I just finished this skein. It’s about 300 yards of Shetland wool; I haven’t decided what the knit it into yet.
The other day I was driving from home to the gym; the pīpī in the pasture I drive by were kinda far away. I stopped to take a photo or two for AFK (our road was empty and quiet). I cropped the photo; they were much further away at first but I didn’t want half the photo to be the inside of my kawila.
