Random Winter Pictures

The whole reason I haven't blogged much lately is because of time. I have so much going on these days! Adding pictures takes time because of sizing, editing, rotating, etc. Well, today I just decided to add some pictures without doing any of that. I will type a little explanation below the picture and I apologize, especially, for those pictures that needed rotating. Hope you don't get a knot in your neck. :-) It would be best and more orderly to go to the very bottom of the post and go backward to get the pictures in order. ;-)

Winter is for.....

taking apart broken microwaves and looking up the parts on the internet....

Winter is for fun Christmas gifts... Monkeys, in particular...
