random pics that YOU have taken.......

Wow! Now I'm hungry for breakfast- again.

I covered half of my Weber grill with a GrillGrate, flat side up. I use the flat side for almost most everything. I has holes in it that lets some of the fat drip through and smoke things up. I think that adds flavor.

Getting ready to sell an old Contax G2 rangefinder film camera. I had it checked out at a shop and they recommended posting some sample photos from it, so I walked around and shot a roll, which came back to me as scanned images. There's a quality to film images that is is hard to capture with digital cameras, although some digitals have sensors or modes that emulate film. Nothing artsy, just trying to demonstrate that the auto focus and exposure are working properly. The Taycan should have been shot 1 stop underexposed to compensate for the relatively brightness of the subject.

That's cool! And you never have to worry about food falling through the grates or grease catching fire when it drips on the burners!

One heck of an office view ya got there!

[Skip Newsom]

That is a great view Seahawk!
I'd never get anything done if that was my office view...

Leaving tomorrow morning for another Ross Lake adventure, all packed up except for cooler contents.
My best buddy, my Son, his best buddy and a newbie are going this time.
My Son and his buddy Luke went every year for a decade up until 2021, Luke got married (I officiated his marriage to Julia) right before they moved to Baltimore for her Residency training. He's flying in, Aaron's flying up from Pasadena and the newbie is my buddy Steve's Great nephew from Alaska.

We won't be camping this year (usually 3 nights) just staying a couple nights in the floating cabins- that's OK, a whole lot less gear to wrangle and prepare and to move and to clean afterwards.

Prior year's captures:







Ross Lake is about 5 miles and 4'000' below, Desolation Peak is way up the lake and takes at least a half day to bag.

Just shot these of a couple tree frogs out on my front deck where I keep many of my potted Bromeliads.......

My friend Jim Bailey, former Crew chief for Brumos would have loved that. He enjoyed tinkering and building those until he passed

Thanks Paul. I'm fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. But unfortunatly, the sunset is slightly enhanced by the layers of smoke from fires in the region.

A little bit now and then- trying to cut back though


I'm enthused with the GP 12 I just got, it can do some pretty cool stuff just by pushing the right options
