Hi Katz! I didn't even know I had a 'honk if you knit' cap on my blogg. SAJ set up a number of crazy T shirts, coffee mugs and other things with 'I spotted Tom the trucker' logo's on them after a friend of SAJ thought she saw me in Bend Oregon one day at a truck stop. She recognized me from the picture Sue took of Brenda and me sitting side by side knitting. I guess that's how the 'honk if you knit' cap came to be.
I haven't done any knitting lately but I am sure enjoying Sudoku puzzles. I heard you were also hooked on them. I have a simple computer program that helps you keep track of the potential numbers (some people call them 'draft' numbers, you know, the available numbers for each square, then you have to erase each them as you solve each square.) Anyway you are welcome to the program if you are interested. I still want to install those other two programs I gave you. It doesn't look like we will be going anywhere anytime soon, I just took a new job at our southern Cal terminal so I won't be driving truck any more. At least I'll be home now so I can keep up on the family's bloggs! I am looking forward to being a regular blogger again.
It's almost midnite so I better get to bed... AAAhhh, my own bed again!
Yep, she passed. Heidi has her driver's licence. Now my days to chauffeur my girls to the barn are all but over. There may be times when I need to help out but they will be few and far between. It's already been a relief. Just this morning they were up, out and off to the barn with only a phone call to figure out which van to take. Next week should be easier since the plan is to import their already bought VW Rabbit. There's a progressive program here for getting your driver's licence. First, as in every other place, you have to pass a written test. That allows you to display a huge "L" on the back of your vehicle. A lot of kids have a word they use to say what it stands for but the DMV says it stands for "Learner". And for the next little while, is it two years? you practice driving. Sounds like what most DMVs require. Next you take the road test and if you pass you get to display an "N" which stands for "Novice". (Most kids have...
I've been working on this tam all afternoon and am beginning to wonder if it's even worth it to continue. This project has been nothing but trouble from the start. Years ago I began this as an afghan but soon realized I had confused this yarn (one skein) with a very similar yarn that had five skeins. I found out that I could easily convert it into a tam and a free pattern was available on Raverlry! I worked on it for a while and after following the pattern realized it was going to be way too big. Off the needles it went! The tam sat in the ether for 13 years and I just re-discovered it today. Unfortunately, there was no record of needle size. Nor was there any indication of what row I was on. Also, it appears that the yarn is disintegrating! I unraveled it for a few rows to get rid of the funky and raveled yarn and then tried to figure out what round I was on. Alas! I threw up my hands in frustration and just decided to finish it off by doing a rib of knit 2, purl 1. Except it ...
I tried this drink at Starbucks and knew I could make it at home for much cheaper. Salted Caramel Mocha with ...celery salt? What??? We had milk. We had chocolate sauce. We had caramel syrup. I made some turbonado sugar/sea salt mix and put it in an empty Starbucks "Hawaiian Sugar Sea Salt" Shaker - or so I thought. It turns out I had grabbed a bottle of celery salt and mixed it with the salt and the sugar. It really doesn't taste that bad but I think I'll be a little more careful next time.
