Countdown started for Hex's trip to LA, leaves on Saturday.

 

Tuesday back at the studio after taking Monday off.  Actually managed to get Echo to Great Falls, which was a huge feat!  Finally made the (right)decision to split them up and switch off weeks.  

Echo was a delight, very easy to manage.  Although I had a chilling time by the water -- saw the Danger sign (focused on it to snap PELIGRO photo for Cord), and saw the current was bad.  

Anyway, we got down to the kayak launch area and I didn't think to let Echo off leash.  She got in the water and paddled feverishly, which made me think if I let her go she would just naturally swim out, and possibly be taken down river quickly by the current.  And of course I wouldn't be able to go after her.

 All scares me thinking about it.  So glad I did what I did!!!

Anyway, more work on large print but slow progress.  Have just enough "rail" wood to complete it, after using a big chunk for last minute SM prints delivered Friday.  So glad that worked out!!

Spent a chunk of time reading old journals over the weekend, and puts all my troubles in perspective - meaning they have ALWAYS been there, and perhaps will always be.  Found a pretty blank one and was excited to write in it again, but that's a lot of recording of basically the same day-to-day material, so I bet that won't happen.  I've also been writing a ton in my ongoing NOTES app on the phone.

Hex working a ton, he packed his schedule this week.  Poor guy.
