Been browsing and posting replies. 

Had a 'good' day, got rid of some of my hazmat, learned where I could dispose of some more. 

I got to get out one of my old cup warmers as my coffee keeps getting cold, ad coffee is not meant to be cold.  I need to pack my French press and find something to heat water with so I can enjoy a good cup of coffee at my desk at work.

The project for later today is to organize.  I have to do some serious work on my room, too much clutter. I have to sort through my clothes and gather some to hand out to the homeless in Civic Center. 

I do need to rebuild the sideboards on my trailer. Presently they are falling apart and are held together with duct tape and bungee cords.

I got to do Mom's taxes so she can get her share of the 'stimulus package'. When you are on a limited income $300 means a lot.

I'm now involved in the local 'water wars', or 'Indian wars' depending on your perspective. There is now an ongoing battle over water rights in the valley with the local Indians staking a claim that they own everything. The locals have one of the preeminent attorneys int he subject working for us. We'll see how long this takes in Federal court.

Bought more 'forever' stamps today, deposited my tax returns, later today ( it is Sunday already ) to get the local paper at the Circle K.

The weather is such that I feel the need to clean up and tune up the motorcycle.  I'll add a 'windshield' this season, nothing hurts more than some of the big juicy bugs hitting you at 55 mph.

I found my 'helmet cam', a toy I have yet to really play with. Maybe it will become a 'dash cam'  to capture some of the vistas of my travels.

We are surrounded by patches of color. Spring has brought out the flowers all over, much more than previous years. I need to work on my macro capability. I have good macro lenses for film but am lacking in the digital realm.

Anyone interested in amateur radio? I need to polish my skills and reduce my collection of hardware. I'm a General Class operator and have both UHF/VHF/ and HF capabilities. I want to dabble in a few of the new digital modes next. Just have to make the time.

Clean the car..  I did a bit on the exterior but the interior really needs some work. I need to change out the hitch ball for a bike rack, that might make that bike ride happen.

more later .... maybe....

Soup

My trusty Volkswagen, vintage 1959.


 



Anyone still doing film photography? If you own a Canon AE-1 series I'll donate a nice wid angle lens to your camera.


 
The sun is up and the homefire is burning. Had my shredded wheat for breakfast, and my coffee. Still need to get motivated, the day is fleeting. If today could be called a spring day, then it is early spring. 

Now downloading a few pictures from a friend in Georgia.  The peach trees are in bloom, and the Camelias are blooming.

Now another cup of coffee, take my pills, and start the day.
