Here I was thinking spring was about to sprung and Id have to get out of my chair and start doing "things" around the outside of the house. HAH! Snow.. more snow and snow on that snow. The drive into work showed that there are some loonies out there and some poor people caught behind those people. Watched about 20 to 30 cars slide backwards down the over ramp to I-40 Eastbound as one decided to slap on the breaks and lost traction causing all the others to panic break, slip and slide back down the hill..... Me? I slowly turned my indicator on for a left lane change and promptly drove slowly past that gaggle. It took an hour to get to work. It was cold all day but still I was able to move old cube walls out to our exterior storage area ( with help from Tony ) and cleared the electronics floor of stuff. I even organized the exterior storage area so that its easier to get at the new to us tall cube walls. The drive home with more snow falling was only slightly longer than normal.. mostly due to people cutting lanes without proper turn signals or regard for the person they just cut off... smarrrt!
The hard drive insanity continues. Even hooking up all different usb hubs and all its not working correctly. Time to remove everything from the cabinet and on a table where I can check power and connections. Strange that it all works at work but here no joy. Its very strange... very very strange.
If I have to drag everything to the office again I am going to be very mad. It took me all of five minutes to set it up and verify it... frustrating.
Yeah.. and that's not the only problem out there. I was prepping to do a bunch of polar edits and find out that my other copies of GIMP will not do transparency healing anymore. Thank goodness the main home unit does it just fine. I would have been very unhappy if I had to heal everything by hand.. blah.. Below are some fun ones I worked on late last night.
Every one in detail if you could zoom in on them... sparkles and spots.
Noodles!! This one gave me much trouble. I am still not real happy with it but loved the noodles part.
City Drug. Love this one as it seems to just float there...which is cool.
Route 66 Chromium. I twitched a few values and it went from cool to awesome.
RAVEN in simplicity. Golden warm glow... I could process it some more but its so clean.
Camino! The depth stopped me and I just tightened it up.
Montano & Coors. My favorite for the day. No frame.. Just nicely rusticated.
I will probably print these for showing. I want them at about 30 inches by 30 inches but they could go to 48 inches easily. I think they make a dramatic wall statement. I blacked the background mostly because I would frame these in a square frame and hang them on their point. I love the idea of it being off the standard square and on the diamond. I have yet to see anything like it so don't go stealing my idea cause I have these set ups from quite a few years back..... Art thieves beware.
Had some excellent grilled cheese sammiches for dinner topped off with a great cup of cocoa in my favorite retro mug. Now the dog is already snoring on my legs and I think I am stuck for the remainder of the evening. I did a few off kilter edits after I got home but I will post those later since they do not match the diamond polar... or polar diamonds.
Sweet! Stay warm.. no more colds... get some soup...make me some... and a bit of cherry pie after.
