My cousin fell off a footbridge late one night. I don’t think he thought he had hurt himself very bad, until his bodys own protective mechanism wore off [or till he sobered up!] but he did go to the emergency room a few hours later. Yep, he did hurt himself! He broke a vertebrae or 2 in his neck and completely broke off the very top part of his spine! Doesn’t seem possible that he isn’t either dead or paralyzed right? Yea, thats what the drs said too.

My cuz, the Tinman

My cuz, the Tinman

talk about having your head screwed on straight! that looks like it hurts

hey dude, your head is full of screws!

hey dude, your head is full of screws!

But he is alive and walking around, PRAISE GOD! But he does look a bit different now. and has a new name, The Tinman. He even has to carry around his own tools, not an oil can, but wrenches, screwdrivers and stuff. He doesn’t carry them in his pocket, but in a bag attached to his “halo”. Although he is definitely NOT an angel, not yet anyway, he does indeed have a halo. Thats what he needs the tools for, oh yeah, for that and for the 4 screws that are actually screwed into his head.

 

NEW SALES – MyFountainDesigns.com July 2, 2009

WITH A MINIMUM PURCHASE OF $75 – OR MORE-  GET FREE SHIPPING!!!!! – in US 48 only..

But sometimes that just doesn’t get it, right? My web builders shipping ‘plug-in’ does NOT give the option for FLAT RATE SHIPPING! Now that flat rate box would come in so handy for things like 4,5, or even 6 bottles of our Fragrance Effusion Lamp Fuel Oil. I live in Ky, so depending on which shipping zone you are in, from me, you could pay over $10 for even 3 bottls of Fragrance Fuel! Now that just is not right! So, CONTACT ME if you get a high shipping rate for 3-7 lbs, and I will apply the FLAT RATE BOX FROM USPS -medium size for $10.35 in most cases – so you can get the number of Fragrance Fuels that you want! This also applies to heavy items like the HIGH OUTPUT MIST MAKER W/INLINE CONTROL and AC ADAPTER COMBO! Those are 2.5 lbs a set, so now you can get 2 or 3 combos at a much lower shipping rate!

BUT, even if your purchase is $75 of more, YOU STILL GET FREE SHIPPING!!

Come on by and check out our new items and new sales and CLOSEOUTS! www.MyFountainDesigns.com

Riddicks Dream Home… our Indian Caves June 27, 2009

I’ve been working outside, alot, and have cleaned the hill in front of the house that goes down to…….
OUR INDIAN CAVES!
I’ve passed my love of the great outdoors, and mountains, and hiking, and just messin around, on to Riddick. He doesn’t get into the cleaning brush and raking leaves too much, but he loves to explore. We are making our first trip to our Indian Caves since I’ve cleaned the hill. Riddick was thrilled because he can go to them now by himself ,  with granny not too far behind!

A big start to the new 10 stall barn that we finally got underway with the help of 4 reformed buckeyes gone country, and  our Dyna-Tech Ultra Portable Sawmill

 

Glen Eden Waterfalls June 16, 2009

I go back to Lee County on occasion. The last time would’ve been the final TAX FILING DAY to see my cpa! I stopped and talked to Jimmie at his garage, and then stopped at Thorpes Grocery and talked with Janie. But the highlight of my trip was when I decided to ‘drive around the big O’ and stopped at Glen Eden.

This is the waterfall that is one of the constant beauty’s of Glen Eden, Ky.

 

WATERFALL FOUNTAINS June 16, 2009

I’ve updated our WATERFALL FOUNTAINS page and put videos of the waterfalls on it. Working with videos, photos, adding music and creating a “movie” is something I enjoy! I have great ideas for some videos using my own videos and photos, that stir around in my mind quite often. I am very creative while out doing physical, mind numbing, body numbing work!

A couple of the waterfall videos need updating – and I will get to it, eventually.  Lazy, lazy, lazy. But wait, I have been out everyday with that darn chainsaw and weedeater! I’ve cleared out the front of our NATURAL waterfall but want to get it a little better before I show it to you. See this post for an awesome natural waterfall. Its not all that big, but I like it!

 

Ginger Takes a Break June 14, 2009

This is just another one of the things that make up Paradise Mountain and MyFountainDesigns.com – and that is the Dyna Tech Ultra 32 Bandsaw you hear running in the background. Ginger decided to take a break and play with her pet, me Sandara!!!

Ginger is my constant companion, she goes everywhere with me. If I’m in the house and she doesn’t know where, she’ll find me and thats where she’ll be too. I wish she could talk! I guess my isolation is self-imposed, but is safe. Mentally more so than physically.

Rachel Alexandra not only ran with the boys, she beat every one of them.

This filly beat all the big biys!

This filly beat all the big boys!

Rachel Alexandra became the first filly to win the Preakness Stakes since 1924, holding off a late charge by Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird to capture the middle jewel of the Triple Crown on Saturday by a length.

Rachel Alexandra was also the only filly in this horse race, and she also became the first horse to win from the No. 13 post at Pimlico

I was going to take a picture of my mom as I was leaving one day and then realized I was taking a video. She really hammed it up for me! I told her it was going on youtube and my blog and everyone could see her silly side.
