This blog will be closed eventually. A new one will take its place at some point. Whether on blogger or WordPress I do not know.

I'm probably crazy
I mean, it's 2:30am and I'm shoveling. I guess I want to just see the post people come and just like take the mail and have them be impressed by the actual lack of snow in the walkway. Like "ha. Snow hold my butt."
Yeah, they've had our mail on snow hold since NOBODY HAS SHOVELED.
And it keeps snowing.
Here are some pics!
More to come later :)

Youtube Playlists of Learning
You know, one really great way to learn things is to use youtube playlists. Right now I'm setting up playlists based on my interests and adding in videos that seem like they should be interesting.
YouTube tells you what you've already watched, so seeing something twice doesn't become an issue.
One thing I'm using it for is actually dog training. I'm seeing what trainers have out there for material and I'm going to watch them. Also on that playlist? Examples of how psychological service dogs help their owners with anxiety and depression. If I can train Fawkes like that, I know I'll be able to handle situations better.
Another thing I'm adding to the list is camping. While I understand the basics, having more knowledge is always a big help and those videos often suggest certain items to get to make life easier.
I recommend this method if you want to learn something but may not be able to devote large chunks of time in one shot.
Have a Splendid Day!

Don't you hate it when...
You have an entire post written out that you spent like an hour on and now it's just gone?
I was going to have here a bit about how I'm learning how to shoot a bow and arrow, how busy work was, how cute and getting better at training my dog is, how I carried a backpack full of weights to and from work today, and other stuff.
But it all got deleted.
So here's a picture of my dog.

Christmas and Minnesota
I got city driving and highway driving. My top speed was about 72 mph. I much preferred the hundred or two miles that weren't in cities. But I'll work on that.
Fawkes came along for the ride. The cats didn't like him too much. They were like "what is this strange non-aquatic sniffly barky thing?"
He's a little more responsive to quiet than he used to be, so that's good, but it would be nice if he didn't start barking any time someone in the house moves.
But I know these things require patience and if there's one tip I took to heart, it's don't get frustrated. If you get frustrated then they do and it's sad. So when I've gotten frustrated I've taken deep breaths, told him to sit, rewarded him, and decided whether or not to continue from my mental state there.
When we reach the end of my story I'll edit it into something hopefully awesome and publish it.
