curly wing moth

she didn't metamorphose properly. don't know what kind of moth she is but i found her laying eggs on the floor of my garage. she's huge. fatter than my thumb. later that night i found a cousin of hers flying around in the moonlight out front. gorgeous.

come to think of it, there was a monstrous black spiny caterpillar crawling up my garage stairs some days ago. i scooped it up and put it out front by the garage in the soil by the gas meter. wonder if that was her in her youth. right size.

update: imperial moth. (thanks patrice)

toe injury club

i really do know better than to move a 100 lb sink stand with stainless steel feet caps in sandals by myself. but occasionally i need a reminder.

while i'm attempting to finish a remodel without severing any digits, luck has landed me a local job in my field. 2 jobs actually. the offers came in an hour apart. but i can only take 1. gladly, it's back to work in 2 weeks.

thanks for all your well wishes and advice. looks like it's going to work out.

roadtrip

bridge in brady (i think) on the return at night. 17 hr drive straight through from durango. somewhere past there a really fat raccoon lost its life. sorry little guy. if it makes you feel any better, you effed up my bumper on my pristine car.

wearing the wounds of the horse gulch ride.

how do people live here. it's awful.

there isn't a bad backdrop in the entire state.

now i know what jeeping is. thanks ron.

they have excellent new mexican enchiladas in durango.

i didn't see the color organized tape. good coffee next door.

the bridge in brady (i think). heading out.
