Yay! Pictures! http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/pictures/ I took these! Pictures from Kim Novak (not the actress). en-us Kim Copyright 2008 2008-07-10T19:53:54-06:00 hourly 1 2000-01-01T12:00+00:00 Fence Done! http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/pictures/archives/pages/003533.php new fence
The fence went up yesterday, and it's beautiful. The fence people cut the phone line when they put in the posts despite the spray paint on the grass that showed right where it was. And my neighbor wants the wood from the old fence that the fence people left in his yard. Yay!

The fence posts went up today despite rain. They look good and feel solid. They're supposed to finish it tomorrow after the posts set overnight. They stacked the panels of the old fence in my neighbor's yard. I feel bad about that. I hope they haul it all off tomorrow.

My fence fell down last month in heavy winds. A company is coming out today to tear the rest of it down and put up new posts that won't lean. The previous owners put up a good looking unstable fence to sell the house. It worked.

This is my new best friend that's not a human. The air conditioner in my 26 year old house was also 26 years old. It had a good life, but finally gave up the ghost last Thursday. Luckily, I have a home warranty that paid to replace it with this beauty.

(k-sue on May 19, 2008 5:57 PM) congrats! 26 years is a good long time for an air conditioner. it's great that your warranty covered a replacement!

(Rob on May 22, 2008 5:51 AM) Way cool. In more ways than one. :)

(muckdog on May 27, 2008 1:03 AM) Wow, just in time. Better than driving around in in the car with the A/C on or with the windows rolled down!

(Boogaboo on Jun 13, 2008 5:16 AM) If you need air conditioning, it means you're hot :lol Damn, I never stop do I... :P

(brykMantra on Mar 19, 2008 11:09 PM) Hey, this is quite a niche you've carved out -- The Unicolored Bike Blog! Seriously, though: How ya been! All we know about you is what you blog, and you've been extra-miserly with your information lately! If you don't want to blog it, a mass-email to all your friends would be welcome, I'm sure ... !

(Boogaboo on Mar 22, 2008 10:42 AM) Ya we need more Kim ;) No shushing allowed :lol

(karlyn bryant on Mar 22, 2008 8:48 PM) My sentiments exactly. Hey girl we miss you !!! I hope you are OK.

(kim on Mar 23, 2008 9:34 PM) Hey Mark, Boog and Karlyn! I took a picture of a yellow bike last year that's part of the Yellow Bike Project where if you see one of them, you can ride it for free. You just leave it wherever you ride it, and someone else can ride it after that. But the tires aren't yellow, so it doesn't fit the pattern. heh I'm fine! I've just been concentrating on other projects lately. :)

This bicycle catches my eye often on the side of the road to work. I finally caught a picture today because of traffic. I speculate that it's a memorial to someone who died on a bicycle there.

(brykMantra on Mar 3, 2008 10:42 PM) Wow, that's strange. I do think that metal things that are all white like that are cool, though, in their eeriness ... It reminds me of something old-timey ...

(Rob on Mar 8, 2008 6:16 PM) I always wonder about those roadside memorials. This is easily the most interesting one I've seen if that is what it is.

(kim on Mar 23, 2008 9:36 PM) The other day, I saw another one on a different street, Rob, and it had a sign that said RIP, so I think it's a standard for memorials here.

(Emily on Feb 20, 2008 9:39 PM) Wow! That is gruesome. Be careful out there, Kim.

(kim on Feb 21, 2008 8:41 PM) It was still there this morning, but it's gone now. I hope it didn't attack the mailman.

(brykMantra on Feb 26, 2008 11:54 PM) So what toy wars is that? I must have missed that on CNN ... (PS: I can't believe this post has been here all week and I'm just now checking in! I got so out of the habit of checking your blog when you didn't post for all of January! After you posted early this month, I kept coming back hoping you were back in the groove, but after a couple of weeks I kept forgetting to check!) What I'm saying is: We miss you when you don't post!

(kim on Feb 27, 2008 6:48 AM) You know, the Toy Wars photojournalism series I did. I'm still waiting for my pulitzer. I'm not sure I'll get back in the groove, but I'll have something every so often. I'm too lazy anymore. heh

(Sundry Kitt on Jun 10, 2008 10:22 PM) You are brilliant. You absolutely rock.:clap
