Slowly but surely we creep toward the goal that some of us have come to desire.

Slowly but surely we creep closer to gettin’ the band back together.

Let’s get the band back together!

Oh, and there might (stress, MIGHT) be new music tomorrow.  We’ll see.

Coconut M&Ms? Offensive!

We saw what was causing both the holes in the tree and the sawdust.

I never would have guessed in a million years.

Yellowjackets.

Jen saw dust blowing away with the breeze so we went out to investigate. At first we saw nothing, but then I saw the dust blowing away too and tracked it down to a specific hole.

As we watched the whole would fill up with sawdust that would after a second or two get pushed out. Clearly something was in that hole borrowing deeper. We both feared we were witnessing termites in action.

Then as the dust was finally pushed out of the entrance to the hole the culprit showed itself. It was an ugly yellow and black striped tail. A yellowjacket. Clear as day.

I really never would have guessed.

Later we finally got our first estimate from a tree removal service. We expected it to be insane and it was. We have yet to say yes or no to them, but we’re going to have to get rid of this dying sucker soon.

I’ll let you know.

The Yankee army has camped at the library in Salem, NH.

It’s a big day for our new car. Her first oil change. Awww.

To bad she’s seventh in line. Awww.

All of the algae on the fish tanks walls is gone! Success! Way to go, algae eating catfish! Woohoo!

we were thinking of bringing the kids this year, but someone is beating us to it. I sorta feel like the knight being flipped. Bummer

So much for that idea…

I posted yesterday that the Red Sox information webpage states that cameras are allowed in Fenway Park.  It said nothing about any restrictions, and for a little while there I was thinking I’d be able to bring my DSLR in to Monday’s game.

Then I figured I’d better ask about larger cameras, specifically those with detachable lenses, to see if there are any restrictions on the camera policy that aren’t mentioned in the posted camera policy.  I was hoping I was being paranoid.

Nope.

I sent a message via the Red Sox Contact Us page asking if cameras with detachable lenses were allowed into Fenway Park.  I just received a response.  The answer is a big fat smelly no.  (I expected it, really)

The responder said that the camera policy posted on the information page needs to be updated and that he will work on getting that done.

Bummer.
