Waldens Coffeehouse Shop before going to Scraps

I wanted some good coffee and a bite to eat so I grabbed M and Johnny and went to Waldens Coffeehouse before we all went to run the dog store while Krissy and Jordan were in DC

My company buys a poker company

.. and all I get is a million dollars in play money.  I can't wait to see what this will do for my company.

Another of my Mom's western paintings

These paintings (I know of only two click here for the other) have been my mothers family for 50+ years and I have seen them on her walls and the walls of a ranch in Eureka Nevada since I was born.

desiging the sign for the business in Photoshop

After several attempts to get a sign specification for the new sign, I broke out Photoshop and created my own. No bones in this sign. I thought a paw print would be ok but Krissy gave the no motion.

The big move

Today is the big move of the dog store. 
We filled and emptied this bad boy three times.


The cleaning of the old store is going very slow.

I found a really nice IPA

Eel River Organic IPA from northern California.

The new digs for the dog business

We found our new home for our dog store.  Scraps Dog Bakery will
be located soon in the Sparks Mercantile located on the corner at
Pyramid and N. McCarran in Sparks Nevada. 

There is a Raley's and Starbucks within a few steps. 

the girls bored out of their minds

Code Yellow at Spanish Springs open house

We were going to Spanish Springs High School for open house tonight but once we got there they would not let us in but rather they told us to go home.  Those already inside could stay but no one was to come or leave.  It turns out that there were target shooters on the hill behind the school.

My new TV has a blown pixel

My new TV that IGT gave me for my anniversary has gotten a blown pixel.  Sony says that this is a feature and not a failure.  They sent a repair man but he pointed me to their user manual which says just that.  He said that for $2200 he could replace the pannel that is only 1 month old.  Sony, BOOO! 

"Try Eryn Tri" Sprint Triathlon takes place at Sparks Marina on 9/11/2011

I took photos at the "Try Eryn Tri" Sprint Triathlon today. 
I was able to take several hundred photos for this great cause.  Jim Shaw's memory chip failed but he was able to recover all.  I saw a lot of great people and friends.  When I get my photos back I will post some of the artsy ones. 

Maddy can't wait for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

We went to game stop to see if there are any new games that sound good and she saw this standing poster and went crazy (she loves this game)... only a month or so until it's released.  I told her to start saving those dollars from the dog store.

wasps have found the hummingbird feeder

I noticed the there was a buzzing around the humming bird feeder.  The humming birds seem to fight the wasps off when ever they wanted a sip. 

A fast walk down to Raley's

no wine in the wine fridge

It is a sad day at the Taylor house.  Well, I did it to myself, several years ago I told myself that I would not buy any more wine until I drank all the wonderful Napa wine I had collected over the years.  I actually lied as you all know I have purchased many bottles but in the end the fridge is empty.  I thought I would show you a photo of an empty fridge but that would be boring.
