Trudy Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 BTW, is that a moving sticker on the leg of your bed? I still run across one of those every now and then -- mainly on the back of furniture. No, it's the serial number tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudy Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 It was 50 and misting out, but I decided we were going anyway. So loaded the dogs in my car and off to White Sand Beach we went. Finally found the small patch of white sand! You can only see it during low tide. The white sand! It's a little cold... Car anybody?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreytNut Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Wow, that house has gone from Hillbilly Bob's Redneck Roach Motel to something out of an LL Bean catalog. Awesome! ETA: If it wasn't for the town of Kodiak, Kodiak would be a beautiful place to live. Those pics are amazing. Although... is that a riding lawnmower chassis that's washed ashore?

TheFullHouse Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 You've done an awesome job getting the house together. It's beautiful. If I hadn't seen the before pictures I wouldn't have believed it was the same house! I'd definitely send the owner the new pictures for comparison. He should thank his lucky stars he has you and Jeff living there. The beach pictures are beautiful. It looks like they're really enjoying the chance to get out and play.

pabozem Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 is that a riding lawnmower chassis that's washed ashore? No, actual car chassis Well, it is Kodiak after all. With such terrible roads, will your car look like this at the end of two years?

Guest savvyprchick Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I was checking out NW Jobs and found a PR job (my profession) in Kodiak. The description includes: "Are you a Public Relations or Communications professional seeking the adventure of a lifetime? Join the team at Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center, a 25-bed acute care hospital located in breathtaking Kodiak, Alaska, as the new Communications and Public Relations Coordinator!" I wonder what "breathtaking" means... the "This is Kodiak" philosophy will take your breath away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudy Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 What is the Project for today ..... a Flowerbed ???? Are there any Flowers growing or just hardy Evergreens and Shrubs ?? No, that was 3 hours of removing the existing raised bed, moving the special "dirt" to other existing beds and other places and then creating a level area a bit larger than 8x10 to get ready for a shed. The next few days are forecasted for rain, so that will pack down what is there, and then I'll bring in some crushed rock and level that out and I'll have the base ready for the shed when it shows up.

giadog Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Maybe you've already posted an update on this long ago, but how is Ryan's health? He looks like he's frolicking pretty well on that beach? Did they ever figure out what was wrong with him, or did it clear up on it's own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudy Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 It's the little things that make you burst out laughing while driving. I had to run down to the base this morning and on the way back there is a tiny little jet at the airport.... with a FedEx truck backed up to the side of it - they were loading up the truck for delivery Totally not the way it works at most airports :lol Maybe you've already posted an update on this long ago, but how is Ryan's health? He looks like he's frolicking pretty well on that beach? Did they ever figure out what was wrong with him, or did it clear up on it's own? Still don't know what it is that he has - we now just treat symptoms as they appear and have given up on trying to figure out the cause. All the vets that worked with us are surprised (and very happy) he's still around. He's not better, but not getting any worse. He has bad days still where you look at him and know he's not right and other days you see a small glimpse of the pre sick boy. Moving quickly is not on his normal day to day list of things... unless he really really has to pee. We were at the beach for an hour or so. Jet was running around, playing, being her normal crazy self. Ryan was right by my side for about 58 minutes of the hour we were there. Jet came flying out of the water and started running circles around us and I backed away (she was flinging mud everywhere) and Ryan was left in the middle and became the target. She got him to play for about 90 seconds before he was right back at my side again. Since he got sick, he drinks like there is no tomorrow. He already drank quite a bit from his seizure meds, but he started drinking gallons of water when he got sick. I am door woman - I have to let him out at least once an hour during the day. Water comes up around 7 at night so he usually makes it through the night. But if you put down a full bowl of water, he will empty it in 5 minutes and then be looking for more. So I've started just putting small amts of water in the bowl at a time and doing that many times a day. Going back to work out of the house should be interesting, but for all our sanity, I need to do that soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
