Vacation.

I think I will rent a boaterhome.

Drive north to Canada or Alaska then take a sail on the Ocean until next year. The kids are packed and so am I. Just debating on if I should take a computer, cell phone. I have the satellite phone packed, just in case of an emergency.

Seems like an awfully long trip. I think we would all miss you, I know I would. But everybody needs a break sometimes.

The hedgehogs suggested it might be better to test the boater home on a shorter trip first. They suggested we drive to San Diego. Launch the boat section of the boater home and store the truck part at a boat storage yard and then do a trip around the Baja peninsula. Think we will do that instead. Would not want to be totally out of touch Smile Gone maybe 3 weeks. We would also have Internet access the whole time.

Before you bugger off on your adventures elfy, can you upload that xskins mod first, some of us will be freezing our ass off in the winter months and a little project such as the xskins mod will give me something to do.

I think I'm gonna invite David Attenborough down here for a coffee as the local wildlife all seems to be converging in my back garden.
Talking about hedgehogs elfy, I've had 3 of them visiting my garden this last year, ever since I've been feeding the wild birds who have been getting more boisterous by the week a dark cloud has suddenly calmed them all down this last month, Yeah, I've got two raptors visiting my garden, Sparrow hawks to be precise, I noticed a load of feathers on the lawn last week and on Monday I saw the male tearing the feathers off a freshly killed sparrow, poor thing, but as David says its nature in its rawest form.
I'll tell you now elfy the first time I see a pterodactyl in the skies I'm going to order some bloody SAM missiles, so I might be asking you lot for a small donation towards it if I see any.

We started heading south yesterday. We have made it as far south as Long Beach. Looking at the locations of Wildfires and road closures we might not get any farther south. Well there are always the channel islands and Catalina to sail around. We all got covid-19 tests last week. The results just in we are all negative.

I understand from the news that Trump and his wife have the virus and had it before the debate. So Biden and all that where there need to be tested to. I may disagree with some of these people. However I hope that everyone working for the President and Biden are okay. I also hope both candidates come out of this okay.

OMG Jane and Alexis are outside giggling and saying hey mom we found a skunk can we keep it. If it stinks them up they can stay outside until they stop stinking.
Elf and the Hedgehogs

It appears that skunks can be very friendly when food and water is scarce. The area we stayed at was burned back in late June. Jane and Alexis where eating a snack while looking at the stars. They had Grapes, Black Berries, oatmeal cookies, unsalted peanuts and beer. When the skunk came close Jane held out a grape and a cookie and the skunk walked up and took them from her. The skunk sat down and ate them. They kept feeding the skunk and it did not spray them or run off. The skunk tried to get his tongue into Alexis beer. So Alexis poured some into a plate. The skunk lapped it up and then looked at Alexis as if asking for more. So Alexis gave the skunk a whole bottle. After drinking the beer the skunk curled up between them and fell fast asleep. In the morning the grapes, peanuts, berries and skunk where gone. I guess skunks do not get hangovers Smile We will try to get farther south Saturday Morning.
Elf and hedgehogs

I had a friend in grade school and his family had some skunks that were pretty tame. Apparently you can remove the glands that emit that horrid smell but the animal still smells a bit funky. They were actually really sweet, but even so.

They aren't a domesticated animal, although one could argue that humans and critters like skunks, raccoons and squirrels have a history of co-existing. My sister and her boyfriend rescued some baby squirrels and one of them survived for several years. They really loved him and took care of him but he was never really a pet, not like their dogs were. I wish I could have a refuge for myself and have a sanctuary for all the ones that need care.
And you know, it makes me angry that a lot of people only want to help the "cute" animals. Ooops, I have blundered off on a tangent.

And so, once again kathy blathers off into that good night...

I found my copy of X-skins on my laptop. This link to my Google Drive should work, if it doesn't let me know.

I haven't used this mod since 2006 or something, so I played with it for a while earlier.

This is one of the starting outfits and there are quite a few combos to choose from, including a completely nude option. There is only one skin tone available, so chances are it isn't going to match every single character. I think it is hard to draw a skin texture that will look natural once it is placed on a 3D model, but the mod creator gave it a shot so good for him. Lots of interesting enchantments on the items also. Eh, that's my opinion even though no one asked for it, lol. Wink
