From bad to worse...

Today the lawnmower wouldn't start. Lots of blue smoke...a trip to Lowe's to excercize my 'warantee', a heated discussion with the customer service person, a chat with the zone manager, and the lawnmower is being fixed.

Went to teach class. Studio lighting demo and my camera battery is dead. Switch to back-up camera. Battery dead. Back-up battery dead. Student runs to other studio, brings back two batteries. Yup...both dead. 2-hours, no photos. Crap.

Get home and see this. *sigh*

I've had days like that. I remember this one time I was photographing with a friend and we got two flat tires.....

Yeah I heard about that. It would suck.

My mat boards are all cut, half are taped to the backing board...will finish those tomorrow. Frames are half stained, the rest need to be sanded still.

Making the big mats and big frames tomorrow or early next week.

I'm coming up on Thursday for Jay's presentation. I am planning to have a sizeable amount of prints and my map I can bring with me. Is there a safe place to store it or should I just bring it all up together?

Thinking about two flat tires in one day makes me cry.

Reading other's blogs makes me cry. I like your blog because it is more up beat. Oh wait, I think I am on the wrong blog. Four dead batteries, three dead cameras, two flat tires, one broken muffler? Geesh, rough day is right.

Dang that muffler sounded like a cowbell when it went into the trash. I think it landed on some stale marshmallows.
