For those of you who are dumb, errata isn’t the plural of erotic.

Yesterday, the Sunday I posted had the wrong black file. Just so you know, I work in a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color scheme. When you buy ink for your printer, well, you know that’s what you use. For tv, videos, etc. we use RGB (red, green and blue). Well, I work in CMYK, and when I post on the internet it’s automatically converted to RGB. BTW, you may notice that if you post colored graphics on the web, you can’t just use RGB. You have to save your file in the jpg format especially for publication on the internet. That’s because you can’t have billions of different colors. The system couldn’t handle it. So for publishing on the web, a finite number of colors are allowed. Here’s an example. It’s a Sunday file as I colored it without saving it in the web format:

And here it is with the color corrected:

OK, So here is yesterday’s (Sunday’s) post using the correct black file.

BTW I was hacked again today. What a bitch!

Just got off the boat and I’m running late. Big surprise tomorrow.

What I’ve been doing the past couple days – My cousin and I bought a boat. We had to go up to Bushnell, about 90 miles north. The guy lived way out in the woods. I liked his goats. I had a goat when I was a kid.

And there’s the boat. It’s a 26 foot 2004 Twin Vee.

Occasionally he ought to sweep the goat poop off his sidewalk. This was Thursday. And what happened on the way home is we ran into a super bad thunder storm. It was bumper to bumper on I-75 in driving rain for an hour. And the lights on the back of the trailer didn’t work. The good ol’ boy who sold the boat and trailer to us assured us that they worked fine.

We finally made it home an hour late. While we were parking the trailer one of the wheels almost fell off. The hub was broken and the axle bent. Yesterday we decided to try to get the boat in the water to get the weight off the trailer. We made it for about twenty feet and the wheel just about disintegrated. Then we spent about four hours trying to get a towing company or an axle repair company to help us. No luck. A guy from the plumbing company nearby came with his fork lift and we were able to get the wheel off. It’s a dual axle, so all the weight was on the one remaining axle. The brake disk on the bad axle almost scraped the pavement. We had to cut the end of the axle off to remove the disk. Even so we only had about 4 inches clearance. But we were able to tow it the twelve miles at 15 mph to the Kingfish Boat Ramp on Anna Maria Island (My old home town) constantly worried that the darn thing might collapse. I dread to think what would have happened if the wheel had fallen off during the storm, us with no lights on the trailer. My cousin is a retired preacher. Either that helped or we were mighty lucky. Whew!

Five of my dogs are in that list.

I had another tough day today. Tell you tomorrow. Unless I have another tough day tomorrow.

I’m late posting today. I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.

Reminds me of my baby hamsters. There were about a dozen of them. Then I came home from schoo0l one day and my old man said they ran away.

Howdy Pardner!

Remember when Arnold dated the chicken? Back in 1992.

Yes, folks, Arnold finally gets a couple million little pets to cuddle with…

BTW I have always been a great fan of Little Lulu. I still have a bunch of her comic books.

I cleaned up my drawing table.

Only one other ingredient could improve it. Right, Nosegirl?
