barbult's take on the lives of Jack and Richard

background · January 8

Since they're in a DAZ universe, maybe a 'Dupicate Node' device would be a nice gift for Milly. Who knows what fun she could have with one of those, it might even work on cats as well as Jackhammers, trumpets and suchlike.

We had a great get-together today. Two out of four women showed up.

These are women who I've eaten lunch with for up to four years. We get along great together.,

These women helped me break out of my "hermit shell," and blossum out into a..... I'm too drunk to finish the sentence,

We had a great time. The woman who I connect with the best is 10 years older than me. That doesn't seem to be an obstacle.

We're old people. Our gathering started around 3PM, and was over by 5PM.

I'll probably have another few drinks of Scotch on the Rocks, and try to do some DAZ Studio silly art.

This was a momentous time for me, and it went well.

Oh, and Richard didn't show up...yet.

Are you sure? We never really know the true identity or gender or species of anyone online.

uh-oh?!

I don't think you were wrong though. Richard will probably arrive later, after the rest of you are all drunk. I'm sure he really is a cat.Only a cat could be that clever and witty.

I'd suggest you take the elevator, but I think Jack has locked up the jackhammer and hidden the key. After your adventure, he was concerned about what ideas you may have given Milly. By the way, he also hid the trumpet and drum you gave her.

Hmm, I wonder if she'd like a lock-picking kit for her next birthday? Let me check Orinoco.

Oh, you tricked me there for a couple minutes! My husband likes to buy cheap junk at Temu. I thought maybe Orinoco was another of those sites. Then it clicked. Oh, big river in South America, I get it. You clever cat!

Oh I like that idea. She could start a whole band when she gets some siblings.What would we do with multiple Richards, though? One is almost too much to handle. It would be interesting to explore, though. I'll have to let the thought simmer.

Weren't there already several Richards in Dodge City? :)

Not sure how we fell about the idea.

Well, you are right! At least in certainly looked that way. Although Richard denies paternity (and I believe him), he is related to Miss Kitty, and so he is related to her "children". They are probably grown up by now and out prowling around on their own. Perhaps they will come visit him in a future episode.

Party On!

Ron entertained a couple neighbor ladies with booze and snacks. After a couple hours, they were all a bit drunk, but partying on.

I meant "Richards" as in units of destr... I mean, totally reasonable alterations ... of course ... uhm ... yeah.

Oh, you meant figuratively. I take things quite literally. See how accurately I have documented the lives of Jack and Richard et al. throughout this forum thread?

Feel, though felling might be an option

Love it. That woman with the "bun" hair looks especially bombed and thoughtful, or confused.

I think she's had a few too many. She's probably already feeling the ill effects. You'd better make sure she gets home OK - hopefully just down the hall.
I bought this just for this render. It is very well made and has lots of options. I'm very pleased with it. I was going to make a bigger bevy of women, but my graphics card could only deal with these two and you.

I've looked at the tea-leaves and see some vomiting poses in her future. But the leaves are occasionally wrong. Regards, Richard.

Ron Knights · January 9

barbult, I saw both women at lunch today. They're fine.

One woman had one 16 oz beer, while the other had two glasses of Scotch on the Rocks.

I had a few more.

I added that product to my wishlist. I'll get it next month.

By the way, you really flatter me with your vision of my humble apartment. Here is a picture.

Imagine having enough room for only two guests... We had to be careful walking around.

Gosh, I hope those leaves are wrong. (No fingers crossed emoji on Daz3D, or I'd add it here.)

I don't want to stray too far from the life of Richard Haseltine, but I was out in my backyard this afternoon with my camera, (it was about 80 degrees F.) I saw several critters.

A lizard was on the dirty porch screen.
A squirrel was roaming in the grass looking for food.
A hawk (I think) flew overhead. It was sudden and unexpected. My shutter speed was too slow to stop the motion.
Then I saw a raccoon. Then he saw me. Then he started running in my direction. But luckily he just ran up a tree and not up me! He did look poised to leap off at me, though, so I went inside!

Richard Haseltine · January 10

That first image of the raccoon definitely makes it look shifty.

Did you see the one where he first spotted me and looks all puffed up? In other photos his legs look skinny, but in that one they look very fluffy, kind of like a tinsel tail, now that I think about it! The lower part of his legs are hidden behind the little hill, so maybe I just can't see the skinny end.

Ron Knights · January 10

Maybe he's related to Richard?

Richard Haseltine · January 10

Ah, I wasn't sure of the original order since the forum doesn't reliably preserve it.

barbult · January 10

I sent the photo of the raccoon in the tree to a friend who used to have a raccoon for a pet (I'm sure that must have been her husband's idea). She told me to stay away from it, because it is not natural for it to be out in the daytime. I hadn't thought about that. It is good that I went inside then, I guess.

Ron Knights · January 10

Yeah, be careful of wild life.

I was once chased by a hedgehog with rabies in West Germany in the 1970's. It was frothing at the mouth and grunting and as soon as it spotted the family, it ran towards us as fast as it could. We all managed to escape by outpacing it with a medium speed walk. Regards, Richard.

Was it sqeaking 'Brains!"?

No. Don't think so. Regards, Richard
