Get your own skull pattern (and many others) from here: Wintercroft

Well I’ve read the book and I’ve watched the first episode of Outlander and you can color me hooked. The series run technically starts tomorrow night at 9PM on Starz, but Episode 1 has been available as a special Sneak Peek on the official site and on YouTube since last Saturday.
All the way at the bottom of the Extras page at Starz’s official site for the show is a cut out of the lead male character, Jamie, in all his kilted glory. You are supposed to download the PDF, cut it out and carry it with you so you can take it’s picture as it interacts with your life. Tweet it, Instagram it or upload your photo to their Facebook page and Starz just might share it with the Interwebs.
While this sounds like something I might do, after all I did tote a Travelocity Gnome around the northwest a few years back taking its picture, I draw the line at strikingly handsome paper dudes in kilts. There is a PocketJamie, but where is the one of our protagonist? I guess I’ll have to make one. A little Google-fu, some “photoshop” work and I made one up. So after you have downloaded and cut out James Fraser, Laird of Broch Tuarach, why don’t you come back here and download PocketClaire, his favorite Sassenach.
…a lot like Christmas. Because the TV airwaves are littered with fragrance ads.
Some sort of alligator/dinosaur thing from the same guy who gave us Romy – Tetsuya Watabe
My attempt at a more complex Wall-E papercraft was ill advised. There were so many little complex pieces that it overwhelmed my feeble skills, the Rubik’s Cube & BNL Cooler were more my speed. And so is Rommy.

Bike rode to pay our bills (cable, water, power & doctor) this morning and ended up at Atlanta Bread Company for breakfast. Maybe tomorrow I’ll tell the paper cup story.
This afternoon I fixed something, which is a rare occurrence around here. Last time I went to use the leaf blower it wouldn’t go. The gas line from the tank to the “carburetor” was broken. It had dried out and cracked in a couple places. We found a kit at Big Box Home Store and I managed to replacethem without too much trouble. I did have to enlarge one hole in the plastic tank to fit one of the plastic tubes through. There appears to be a miniscule bit of leakage at that point, but I doubt it creates any hazard.
With that repaired, I proceeded to blow the oak pollen clusters off the roof and back deck. Donna then took over and cleaned the front walk and driveway. While she did that, I finished hosing the pine pollen off the screened porch, so that maybe we can enjoy our dinner out on Monday.
Tonight I’m watching the Red Sox – Yankees game on ESPN, but listening to it on the WEEI off the ‘net. I’ve tried several times in the past to do this, but the audio and video never lined up. Tonight, for some reason, they are in sync.

The Red Sox finally won a game. The starting pitcher for the FRS gave up 6 runs in 7 innings and lowered his ERA by nearly 10! As a bonus the 9 -6 win came against the dreaded Yankees.
We rode the tandem to work today and it was a great ride. It is Spring Break around here for the schools and it is amazing the amount of traffic that eliminates. During school time we see maybe a dozen cars, but today we were lucky if we saw 3.
My dabbling in Ubuntu Linux, will always be just that, just dabbling. Late last night I discovered that you cannot stream Netflix in Linux. Plus I should read my own posts…back last October when I loaded it on the laptop I realized that my most used Geocaching program doesn’t have a Linux version.
