Sunday Night in the puzzle room

The days of the week don't really apply to me here.  I know it's Sunday because my cell phone tells me it is.  Work was really busy and also we are prepping for an inspection by the Federal Park Inspection folks, whoever they are--George Larson is a name that has been floating around here, too.  Who ever he is.  I think I am suppose to be impressed.  oh well.

One of the things I did was clean the hot chocolate/cappuccino machine. It is one of those that you push the button and hot water and cocoa mix spurt out.  It was really caked up with dried up stuff so it was sort of like cleaning a piece of furniture as part of the refinishing process.

I really missed SHARE this past weekend. Not only was I stuck here, but I had to work an extra 4 hours in the Old Faithful Inn on Friday night washing dishes.  What a pain in the butt, shoulders, knees, feet, back and various other parts.  And I missed movie night in the lounge....Prairie Home Companion.  Whine, whine, whine.

The Inn is huge.  It had over 450 reservations and a bunch of walk-ins, plus food at the bar.  I think folks who work in food service are crazy masochists.  I was suppose to work another 4 hours today, but called in sick.  Sick of doing dishes.  I actually was on the clean side of the dishwashing station, so I really only had to put them away, sort the silverware, move trays of clean glasses to the proper location.  It doesn't sound that bad as I write it now, but believe me-it was miserable. I like my cash register in Geyser Grill much, much better. 

The reason I'm calling it the puzzle room is that there are 3 different puzzles being worked on at this time.  I really don't like doing puzzles so I'm just kibitzing with the puzzle doers while I write my blog.  Fun, fun, fun.

Tomorrow (Monday) is my Friday as I have Tuesday and Wednesday off.  Hopefully, I'll find something interesting to do.  I'll try to get some photos for you all to enjoy.

Finally, Wifi

Just regular bison photos that I can't get to the bottom of this blog.  More further down with the story that makes sense. I'm sitting in a McDonalds in West Yellowstone, Montana, because they have Wifi.  Yeah.  There is still no Wifi at the park.  it was suppose to be fixed over the weekend, but it's not.  Probably when I get back, it will be, but it is nice to get away from  Old Faithful and all the tourist, not to mention the log pine trees.  If I never see another pine tree, it will be ok because that is all I see here. Rose, my roomie, and I went to Mammoth Springs on Friday.  What a great day.  I was anxious to see some Red Dogs, the nickname for baby bison.  We did manage to see them in stages.  At one point, we were tied up in traffic for over 90 minutes because of a Bison jam.  We were told about 300 crossed the road.  That wasn't bad enough, so then a few of them decided to take a n...

Snowy Tuesday

I think that I eliminated a previous post about a Snowy Sunday-where I complained that there was snow on the ground.  Now there is another snow storm, this time leaving about 3".  It doesn't last long, but it's still here.  The temperature was in the single digits the other night. I did have a funny incident today.  Early this morning, I didn't hear my alarm, so my roomie had to wake me.  She was cool about it, actually thought it was funny.  later on in the day, I came home from work and flopped on my bed.  Patrice, my roomie, was taking a shower and an alarm started going off.  I assumed it was her alarm and when she got out of the shower, she would respond to it.  I just pulled my hearing aids and continued to lay around.  She comes out of the bathroom and tells me it is not her alarm, but a fire alarm, only a drill, but we still have to respond to it.  So much for ignoring alarms. Work is still going well.  I was in the...

Art, just mostly my art.

I am trying to be very funny with giving myself the artist title.  I am enjoying this new-found interest of watercolor painting.  I will never be great, but who cares?  I am and will be satisfied with my results.  So there!! lol. We are in week 5 of 6 in watercolor class.  I have learned so much between Jane, who is a wonderful instructor, more like a guiding spirit, and YouTube, that has tons and tons of information.  Knowing how I can get involved in something and leave everything else behind, I force myself to shine my kitchen sink, aka straighten up the kitchen, before I sit and watch and paint.  Not a bad life, I'll tell you. Enjoy the  refrigerator art.  Thanks.... This is one study we did in class, applying some new techniques Just pictures.  The one with the moon is salt added to the wet paint for the sky to give it a neat look Cute snow creature with practice pad colors on the edge I was just messing around...
