Barking Bad

My wife was feeling bad in moderate pain talking to herself about herself. She was not enjoying the process. Then she noticed that Cooper was standing at the doorway to the room imitatingly repeating fairly much the same vocal patterns that she was making. Of course I miss aLL of this performance of empathy pain pet performance but I can clearly imagine it.

I got our second silk screen printing press assembled so now we wiLL start experimenting with CMYK designs on darker fabrics. The inkjet photoprinter arrived yesterday and is monstrous in size to me, up to 17 inch wide material by sheet or roll, so I am getting that thing figured out. The day before that we made our final decision on an industrial embroidery machine, so that process is beginning. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is going to be my main toy to manage and tinker with for quite awhile. And just how am I going to sneak in a vacation to southeastern Oklahoma anytime soon at this rate?!?!?

Looks like I made it back from South Dakota with good timing. Several parts where I was traveling recently now have a couple feet of snow. I think my F-350 would have done okay but I might have needed chains on the tires.

  1. It sounds like you are happy to be occupied with this new equipment, maybe some pictures in the future? And you know I love dog conversation.

  2. fmcgmccllc: Yes, I am weLL pleased. We have decided which industrial embroidery machine to buy, and it should be up and running about two weeks from now. Tamie has already taken orders for a machine we haven't even finished purchasing. So I have been studying quite a few technologies and users manuals. I am getting my first prints off the Epson 4900 that arrived Friday and they are great. It will print up to 17" wide and has roll capability. Right now I just have transparency material for the silk screen work but I'll get some photo paper soon. Sheets can be up to 17" x 22", and the rolls are huge, so I am not sure just how long a picture you can print, I think it is limited just by software. There are 11 ink cartridges that hold about 3/4 of a gallon altogether, amazing.
