Huckleberry

I need another shop cat around here like I need a wood shortage.  But that said……a lady put an ad out in our local newspaper about a box of kittens found floating in the river going through town asking for help and well…..we have a new shop cat.   Meet Huckleberry, already a big helper in charge of floor sawdust at the moment and perching on my shoulder.

Our old shop cat Stinky has decided, after much hissing,  that he is too cute to ignore and  I noticed a fresh mouse next to his food bowl this morning.  I have a feeling she will be assuming motherly cat duties.  Bottle fed for the last two weeks and doing well.  Shown here at six weeks today.

What kind of person throws 4 week old kittens into a river none of us can or will ever be able to understand.

With the rollout of the new Google Plus I have been working on the live video capability that allows for real time video link.  This is a handy tool when trying to show someone something we are talking about on the phone.  Stay tuned for this new feature coming to the site.  You will need a google gmail account, and that is about it.

Have been experimenting with a few friends and it works easily.  Was able to set up with my webcam in under a minute.

I am often working with customers on house construction and this might be a handy tool.   Tech is moving forward at a rapid pace.  For reference,   my gmail email addy is    victwoodwood@gmail.com Tom
