Oh yeah, how about Rusty! He's very awkward to take anywhere so there aren't many photos of him at all. Here's one relatively recent one though. He's the lighter-coloured one with the cords and the braces.
Total daily output from the tomato plants around Tuesday last week:
And today's harvest in the saucer on the right, while the last several days' takings are in the dish on the left:
(If your fediverse node gathers all the pictures into a single group at the end of the post, FYI they were originally between each paragraph.)
There ought to be more taurs around the fandom. There are distressingly few!
Wikifur has pictures of a few, there's Kartfox's classic photo composite taur, and there was Vulpix's suit too.
Apparently there have been cases of taur *plushies* (and another).
Then there have also occasionally been centaurs (outside of furry) like this one. I even spotted a unicorn centaur at a comic con myself some years ago.
But there's a real lack of taurs. Get busy, people. :]
I wonder if anyone makes a cosplay version of this.
(I.e. much more robust, suitable for actual use, and probably a fair bit cheaper.)
Finally (I've only done 900-odd miles in the last year) got on my bike again on Friday, first to get it MOTed, then to make a trip to the old house to check everything was okay before a viewing on Saturday (we're still trying to sell it, Land Registry permitting). Got home absolutely drenched in sweat (partly down to choosing waterproofs instead of leathers because they're quicker to put on and I was late for the MOT appointment). But today, the weather's a lot cooler. Should've waited a couple of days.
The place near us that does bike MOTs has… *views* on non-Mercedes vehicles. 😉
Since having to leave the windows open at night to let the house cool down a bit, this is what my ears are being assaulted with at 6am every day. I suppose there are worse ways to be deprived of sleep.
(alt-text: 26-second recording of dinosaurs screaming at each other outside my window. First a high-pitched twittery one, then some repetitive honking, then more twittering, all with others in the background. I've normalised the recording, but it's all surprisingly loud in person anyway.)
Phew, finished making and writing cards. I've even delivered some to our neighbours. Just the rest to do tomorrow, when I drive to the old house to collect some stuff, and also put cards through old neighbours' doors too.
(The baubles I put on the front of the card were from https://christmasstockimages.com/)
Holy flip… and this guy's 23 years old. Twenty-three. And I can still remember the excitement of the first time I took Kelsey out (my first time ever in fursuit), at Megaplex in 2003. How time flies.
"Wot I dun", last Thursday's edition: I think I've found out why 8 consecutive keys on my late uncle's digital piano keyboard don't work. While following traces on one of they keyboard PCBs I brushed away what seemed like a bit of blue-green dirt, only to find a little gap in the track underneath. I think the "dirt" must have been a crystal of corroded copper! The 8 keys the trace connects to are the ones that don't work, so I may have found the problem. Now just need to solder a bit of wire on to fix it. (Not sure I'm even going to try just bridging the gap with solder because it's in an area with lots of very tiny tracks very close together and I can barely see the individual tracks without a loupe. But either side are sparser areas where I should be able to solder a wire without too much trouble.)
My aunt has lamented that she didn't know while my uncle was alive that it was something I'd be able to fix. I didn't even know while he was alive that there was something wrong with it that needed fixing - apparently he was good at playing tunes that avoided those particular keys.
Which reminds me, the car I grew up with looked almost exactly like this. Only differences I can immediately see were that my parents' one was right-hand drive, and I think the interior was a different colour. Otherwise, exactly the same.
They eventually sold it a few years ago to someone who wanted to do it up, but they ended up finding it was so rusty it sadly wasn't worth doing much more than extracting a few spare parts from and then junking the rest. It had been sat in a garage so many years it had to be dragged out - the wheels wouldn't even turn.
