Anyway, I hope that February will be great for everyone here. So far mine is much better than the one I had last year.

Deviation Actions
It has been a little longer than usual since I have put up a new journal, so I thought it was time. Not that there is much to write about. I am currently looking for a good mechanic. I like finding these guys who enjoy working on vehicles and who know a lot about them rather than take it to a shop because, well, because I am cheap. I thought I had one lined up for this past weekend, but he never called me. So back to the search. I went out to get new tires on my wife's car only to find that I picked a bad day to do that. It was a really wierd day to be out. I had a few errands to do so I was busy doing that when the power went out in the store. I waited and the power came back on, but the next store I stopped at also had the power go out. It was cold and snowy and the parking lots were full of slush and ice. I went to go get the tires and found they didn't have the size I needed in stock. I can order them online and get a better deal anyway, but it seems like there should be a consideration to those who make the trek to the store.
Tough Times
So, here's the thing about deviantart these days. I am having a very difficult time trying to maneuver around and look at the recent deviations that people post. I just am not liking these changes and since I am not on a lot it seems that every time I do get on here there is a new learning curve. I miss posting on here. I used to get on, look at recent deviations then respond but even that is difficult to do. I have not given up yet. I hope all my watchers and friends see this and know that I miss them.
Busy, just not on here
I have been busy trying to organize my photos, not just the ones I have taken recently(during the last few years) but also the recently scanned negatives from several years ago (pre-digital). It's been a time consuming undertaking but hopefully it will be worth it. I also have taken on a new position at my job that is wearing me out. I am trying to get the house in order as well, so many projects that I want done. So with all that and still trying come to terms with this incarnation of deviantart I am hoping to soon have some new deviations up sometime soon.
What A Day!
I wanted to get one more feature in before my Premium membership ran out. I again had so many things I
wanted to share, but again I don't remember what any of them were. After my last journal several people expressed to me that they hoped I wasn't leaving art (https://www.deviantart.com/art) No I don't have any plans to stop being a member here, but I probably won't upload as much or be as active. But then I haven't been very active recently anyway.
I have met (virtually) so many great and talented people here. I wish that I could feature all of you, or them. Many are not even active anymore. I know that has been true of several here. But I plan to get a few in here, m
A Few Thoughts
I had hoped that I would have been a lot more present on this site recently. My job has required so much time lately and other things have been taking the free time I usually have. In the last journal I think, I mentioned that there was a family reunion that I wasn't sure if I was going to go to. Well I went. Rented a car (got an upgrade) and made the nearly 8 hour drive. Saw members of the family that I had not seen in years and made it out without incident. Overall, very glad that I went, but it was expensive.
A lot of fun driving with my daughter, a lot of places where I really just wanted to stop and get photo's. I didn't, but not becaus
