Cats in boxes and on a sofa. Van, wood, trash and sports

We took these to show Drigger, our smallest cat, fitting (or trying to) into the smallest box yet :-)

Next you have Rocky, our biggest cat just lounging on the sofa... again :-)

As always, we haven't been up to much... sort of. We've been doing the homestead chores that need to be done, but haven't been going anywhere. Stayin' home mostly because we're just not as comfortable driving 'The Dragon Wagon' until we get the new-to-us rear end put on. That's being delayed for now because our friend came down with some stomach virus. Hopefully it's a short-lived one and he'll be better this week.

Did get some things done yesterday. Mostly got a Poplar log that had been sitting on the porch, cut-up into splittable size logs. We even split one of the logs, but stopped after that because it was frozen. It had been sitting on the porch for a few months through the cold, rain, and snow, and was therefore a PITA to split. Took us at least 15 minutes just to do that ONE. Because we have enough wood already split to last a couple to a few days, we set the rest aside to dry and will get back them when the weather says we can.

Speaking of 'things' that need done, we really need to take the trash out to the burn barrel and burn it. However, today it's cold and when the gusting wind does stop or slow down, it's too friggin' cold to stand out there. So I think we can stuff a bit more trash into the trash cans/barrel for one more day. *grin*

As for sports, if you're interested in NFL Football, you probably already know that it's going to be 'The New England Patriots' vs. 'The New York Giants' in the Superbowl on February third. As for NBA basketball, it's still the regular season, but that won't stop me from watching at least one game on TV this afternoon starting at 4:30. There is a triple-header on starting at that time, with the last one that'll be showing 'The Denver Nuggets' (the Colorado team that I like because I was born and raised in Colorado. I live in Missouri now, but still...).

Last thing I'll mention, but it's definitely NOT the least important thing (just last thing to pop into my head), a neighbor who lives just up the road (about a 1/4 mile away) stopped to say, "Thought you were going to stop for a cup of coffee", the other day. Of course I felt bad because I did say we would, but just didn't get around to it. (bad, bad neighbor!). Invited him in, we talked, exchanged email addresses, and have been writing back and forth for a couple of days now. I told him we'd stop by later this week when it's warm enough for us to walk up there. It's kind of cool having an actual really local friend to visit that's only a few minutes walk away. YAY! It would be great if he's a sports fan, but I have my doubts. Mostly because he's SO busy running his home-based business (advertising) that I can't imagine him having time to watch sports on television, but ya never know.

Amazing what tiny spaces cats will cram themselves into. ESPECIALLY if it's a box!
