Thunderstorm

It’s thundering and lightning outside, right at this very exact moment. Which means I oughta quit working on spice rack designs and shut this dang machine down. I hate it though, ’cause every moment of delay means our spices will have to keep on being all disorganized and whatever. I mean, we hardly ever use cumin, on account of it’s always hidden behind the bay leaves and the cajun-flavored sea salt. And the last time I saw the turmeric, Howard Dean was still a viable candidate for President. So, as soon as the weather clears up, or at least as soon as the lightning bolts quit tickling the tops of the trees in our neighborhood, I’m gonna re-embark on my mission to computer-design a new rack ASAP. Man, I can hardly wait…

Spice Rack

Spent most of the morning designing a spice rack. Although, like a Homer Simpson spice rack, who knows if it will ever actually get built. Still, a husband can dream…

Anyway, I suppose you can apply textures to objects in Google’s SketchUp thing, so the blue spice rack oughta have dots and stuff all over like how I normally paint. But, maybe just imagine ‘em, ’cause I’ve gotta go do other actual work.

Oh, and yeah, on the third version, I’ve added some sporty lettering, which I hope will help avoid kitchen confusion by keeping this particular rack distinct from the teabag rack and the rack that holds the souvenir pot holder collection.
