Welcome to my world. However rainy days are for working in the shop instead of the yard. All is good.

I spend my work week in a shop... The greenhouse is my oasis.


You ever go to the movies when you have some free time???? ;)

Not a great photo but a good story. My daughter took a cake decorating class and made one for Mother's Day. After hours of work I decided to shot her end product. The camera fell lens first into the cake, repaired part in the upper left of the photo. There were a few moments where I thought I might die. The cake was repaired but the camera's lens cover flaps would stick sometimes after that.

That's too funny, sounds just like something that would happen at my house.

Had a happier ending than my little Canon did after its Maytag scrubbing.

That camera had bad karma. CCD failed on the first day of a trip to the Grand Canyon. Fell in a cake. My daughter took it to Europe where the CCD failed again and was replaced in Poland. About 10% of the photos had the sticky lens flap in them after the cake. Finally it was taken in a burglary at my daughter's house.

I hope the karma continues for the thief and they enjoy the sticky lens flaps.

The Berlin Wall...
 
Nice pics Guys.

Had a good long ride with friends yesterday...just what we needed after a colder, more snowfull than usual winter.

Wifey, Daughter, and I went for a nice afternoon walk this Easter Sunday. Spring is just around the corner. Happy Easter to all. SmileWavy

The seemingly non-descript slab of cement in the center is a piece of the Berlin Wall on the Campus of the Alma Mater of President Ronald Reagan.

A former symbol of Freedom lost is now a symbol of Freedom gained. I really like it when things in this world of injustice are turned upside down...just like Easter!

Hey, Hoots! Is that your son? He's a Boomer Sailor on a BIG boomer! Congrats! That's no easy feat these days. I see he's a Third Class Petty Officer, what's his speciality?

That's me fifteen years ago going through the Panama Canal as a Missile Tech.

Hoots: sorry for the misinterpretation! I never made it to the Ditch. I rode 640 class, MM2(SS) nuke, in the day. Damned proud of that, even if it was difficult to do. Had many a good friend and shipmate in the Missile House.

Good to know another Bubble Head/Squid. Whatcha doin in RI?
