:: Gentle Beast

Watching the world one hopes he ponders a higher meaning for himself. Does he wait and suffer in self doubt, uncertain confidence, or diet induce hunger rage, we'll never know. The low January sun bounces back blood red. It's warmth and purity urging to penetrate his thick head, "Get back to work, Monkey!"This one we worked on together. A pain in the ass. Pretty slick though.
This was him. I helped. I'm the best helper. Best ever. I've been told that. They weren't wrong.
Fooooooood. Some left over salmon and stir fried vege. This was all done in the same pan at the same time because the salmon only needed to be heated through. Some lemon on top and wham! Yummy, yummy. I purposely super heated a spot on the pan to quick fry the skin to crisp up it last minute.
An I used these to eat with. That's right, I finally went to a dentist. Well, really I went twice because they couldn't clean them well enough on the first trip and I had to return the next day to finish. I apologized for how hard the hygienist had to work but she just joked about how she hadn't worked so hard in a long time and I was lucky she loved what she does. In the end I won. No cavities, gums are pretty good and healthy, teeth are clean and smooth and I learned what happens when you wait 5 years between appointments. Shit gets real. Fists clenched white knuckle real. Thinking the warm water gun and the sucky-air tube thing are your best friends and you don't see them nearly enough and you don't know what happened or why you drifted apart in the first place so you plan a fun weekend together with both of them to reconnect real.

But everyday ends. And this weekend I get to ride for the first time this season using my new goggles so I'm happy.

I have to agree with Lynn. There was something for everyone. The sliding doors on the tub are sooo much nicer than ours. The shower enclosure is awesome but how does the steam get out?

It's a steam shower. It has a steam jets inside. There is a minimal amount of airflow around the door for oxygen and pressure release.

Didn't you just want to try it out?
