No better place to start the New Year's Eve it was a very interesting night, and a very enjoyable night. After spending a few hours getting all girlie after I got off of work that day. My friend, Shaun and I headed out to the town. Our first stop was my friend John's shop for some electric blue margaritas and catching up with the rest of the normal crew. We popped upstairs to one of the apartment/condos above (one that I had looked at renting with my friend Jenn) for some drinks and fun. Soon it was off to the good old watering hole of Herb's. Getting there at about 11 made me a bit concerned with how it was going to be at midnight, b/c well there was a lot of room in there. Soon, as in about 11:30pm it became a situation of the person limit had been reached and Daven had to keep people outside. Midnight came, Happy New Year's were exchanged and soon it was heading home because the night had lost it's luster. I don't think it was a moment too soon, b/c the champagne at the end of the night did its duty (once again, you think I would learn) and I spent some time sleeping on my bathroom floor. 'nuff said.

Happy New Year everyone!New Year's Weekend Shaun picked up a side painting project and asked me if I wanted to help. I said sure, I don't mind painting much, but ask me that after we get to working on painting a lot of the things we need to paint at work. Towards the end of the day, being high on paint fumes after painting the house's downstairs bath, I let Shaun finish some of the more detailed/cutting/places I didn't want to reach while I snapped a few pics.
Daven chilling (literally the fireplace wasn't going) in the house.
Shaun getting behind the toilet, b/c well yeah. I think I had had enough at that point. :)
After being done with that part for the day, ran out of paint and what not. We had talked to our friend Daven about coming over and hanging out. Shaun hadn't ever played beer pong so we planned on that.

Shaun, post painting & post pong.Okay now onto what I am sure you want to read about, work... I really don't have too much to share. As of Friday we only had 5 animals in rehab (3 raptors, 1 vulture, 1 wood duck), and I know the wood duck was released yesterday. So yeah, not much to share work besides just a few photos.
Here is the wood duck in his couple of days of outside time. B/c of the stress level they attempt to fly into the screens, once we knew his waterproofing was good and heard there were some chilling at a near by lake, Shona took him their for release.
The electrocuted eagle sitting on the rope perch. Soon he/she will be heading out to Bellingham for release.
The wood duck when inside. it is pretty tough to get a good pic in low light with a stressy critter like this.
a Great horn owl that came in that had been unable to get out of a yard. I think she (most likely) was stunned and just a bit sore, b/c she has been doing fine since arrival.

The great horn owl outside after just 1 day with us.
The barred owl also got moved outside the same day as the Great Horn Owl. Off of eye meds from the ulceration on the eye from being hit by a car.
Okay that is basically the update. Hope you all are having a good new year thus far and surviving the winter. /brrr
