Your somewhat daily dose of Shoo.
Fishing with a cold one., originally uploaded by gotshoo.
I sneaked out of the office today to go fishing with my grandpa. The weather was beautiful, the fishing ok. It didn’t matter. A bad day fishing is still better than a good day in the office - that was today’s motto.
I actually caught a few but nothing worthy to blog about.
This is what I see when I walk the dogs. Maybe not as blurry; nothing but tail though. I think Clancy was bread to pull a dog sled because he is 110% go forward during the walk. So much so, we had to get him a chocker collar so he would slow down a bit and wouldn’t yank our arm off.

It’s green. Mrs. Shoo still has another chair to paint and decorate. I believe the next one will be blue.
Last night we had over Mrs. Shoo’s parents for dinner. Someone had a hankerin’ for red meat, so I got permission to go all out. Above, 3 ribeyes (left), 3 porter house steaks (right). When it comes to seasoning I like just the basics of salt and pepper.
I’ve found from experience that you really don’t anything more than the basics if the meat is just right. I wish I could eat these all over again. Hello heart attack!
I don’t care if Hank Hill cooks with propane, I cook with charcoal. Oh yeah! Tips on positioning charcoal: Create a mound to promote a quicker fire, once the briquettes are all white push them to sides of the basin leaving an empty space in the center. This way the meat cooks with indirect heat. Say no to burnt exteriors!
These are thicker steaks, so they took about 15~20 mins. to cook. I know it’s tempting, but don’t spastically keep opening the lid to check on them. Trust me, I know it’s tempting.
Looking good. I put the ribeyes in the middle because they have more marbling (fat) and cook quicker. Hurry, put the lid back down.
That’s a good looking steak. Delish!

The neighbors to my work have fallen behind on lawn care.

Today was an awesome day to play hooky! Ok, I told my boss that I was going to take off the afternoon if I was caught up on work. I still rebelled by not turning my ‘out of office’ email responder on. Ya, take that corporate America!
I didn’t take pictures of it, but I spent part of the afternoon removing a stump from the front yard that’s been sitting there for a year plus. It was from a tree that I cut down when I first moved into the house. Previous attempts at removing the stump had proved relentless, today though it came out like butter.
The mood at the house tonight is somber and quiet. Mrs. Shoo is sound asleep. The dogs are passed out on opposite couches. And I’ve been going through some photography literature that my dad dropped of this evening; hence the inspiration for today’s dailyphoto.
Good night all.
This weekend Mrs. Shoo and I headed down to Paducah Kentucky for our good friend John Romang’s art show. He’s been featured many times on Gotshoo. We love his art, especially when one of the pieces features Mrs. Shoo’s shoes.
The show was hosted in a condo being renovated. I would throw in some art terminology how the mood was set, but I have no idea. I’ll stick to taking photos. It was just a really cool place for an art show.
More photos after the break.
Continue reading ‘A Series of Paintings.’
The art show was a great time and a great success for John. I believe he sold everything but five pieces. I’ve got a ton of photos. I’ll upload them later.
My good friend John is having an art show in Paducah, Ky tonight. Check out some of his work here.

Mrs. Shoo woke me up last night about right after the quake hit. I am a deep sleeper, especially when I can’t sleep because there is a Deep Catch ‘best of’ marathon going on till 2 a.m. I thought nothing of the quake other than the bed was shaking. Which brings up the question, why would I think the bed shaking was normal?
Of course, Mrs. Shoo wakes right up and tells me that she thinks we had an earthquake. In a mid-awake slur, I tell her she’s crazy and to go back to bed.
Yup, I could have slept through the whole thing.
