#285 – Achievement Unlocked!
Cut down a tree for the first time today. Â Gotta admit, that was pretty cool. Â We’re up in the mountains for a woodcutting fundraiser held by the parents of a good friend. Â The big woodcut is on Sunday, but today we needed to harvest another couple of their trees in order to have enough to work with. Â It does make me think though: probably “plant a tree” should be the next achievement unlocked.

#283 – And the Darwin Award goes to…
I had to clear out a blocked downspout to keep up with all the rain we’ve been getting.  Today’s sketch celebrates my in-hindsight-super-idiotic decision to go up on the roof  in a thunderstorm carrying a 10-foot metal pole.  Thankfully, the worst case scenario depicted here didn’t actually play out.  I live to sketch another day!

#264 – Asleep at the pencil
Did I mention that I need to go to bed earlier? Â This is about how I felt while doing tonight’s super-quick sketch before bed.

#263 – Suburban sprawl
This was me after getting home from work today. Â I woke up a while later, and did this quick sketch while I still had a sliver of energy. Â I need to start going to bed earlier.

#238 – More bounce to the ounce
In the autumn a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of bouncing around like a giddy 6-year-old. Â And so was spent a portion of my afternoon. Â (With summer gone, today my cousin set up the trampoline in his backyard, in the spot where the inflatable pool had sat all summer. Â And there was much rejoicing. Â Including some by his kids.)

#232 – Road-almost-kill
As I was heading in to work today, I rounded a corner and suddenly met a yappy little dog making a bee-line for my front wheel. Â It’s lucky it wasn’t a cat, or I might not have been motivated to be quite so responsive with the brakes. Â (Kidding! Â Sort of!)
