I'm in Kearney, NE, cleaning out a storage shed containing every piece of clothing, every nick-nack, every greeting card, every photo, every kitchen utensil my wife's parents ever owned during their nearly 60 years of marriage.
I should be home by tomorrow evening. (Assuming I live that long.)

So they saved a memento or two then?

What's pretty disturbing, I find, is when you know the real story and then read the newspaper story.

What fun! Any 1920's to 1950's fuel pumps? What about tubes? EL34's? ECC83's?

Seeing how we're talking France. There is only Le Tour.

I won't go that far, but you can certainly have my spot if you like!

Been so busy in the summer months that I have not been shooting as much as I would like. I have set a goal of two decent shots a day to add to my Flickr galleries. These are my two from yesterday.......it was getting late and I glanced out and noticed it was that "magic light" ...so I popped a few shots. The K1 makes it so easy to get a quick shot, the AF is instant, no time wasted while the Bigma does all that blind hound hunting like it used to. Now it locks on instantly!

I know...this is not a camera thread, but if we can talk about filthy disgusting lewdfish we can talk about pictures and cameras a little too!

Dandy dove shots Rupert!
I shot a bird yesterday too, a chicken, an apple wood smoked chicken.
But my weapon was a Pentax MX-1, love that little guy for grab shots!

Tomato based sauce on the left, Big Bob Gibson's white sauce on the right that became transparent from the heat.

Thanks!

I love the looks of those but would love the taste even better.

I have a rotisserie for my grill and used to do cornish hens fairly often...just amazingly delicious.

Life seems to have changed a lot since my last broken foot....less time, harder to get anything done, and a lack of desire for any more walking than is necessary.

It is easier just to let the Butcherman pop a couple in his big Smoker machine.

I have less of everything nowadays...less energy, less enthusiasm, and less ambition for any new endeavor...and most of the old ones.

I have more cash...more than I ever imagined I would ever have in my old age, but it seems to matter less than ever.

Maybe it is just this unbearable heat and humidity and I will get energized again in the Fall? I am hoping!

Currently 90F & 72% humidity. The only thing I see out there unfazed by it is the damn squirrels....and I think most of them are already drunk at 11am today?

Regards!

The person replied that they had heard of people with a petrol pump in their dining room living in that suburb - Had we heard of them?

The strangest thing is that you'll basically get two types of new visitors to the house: Type 1 says something along the lines of: "You have a petrol pump in the house!" The're OK and will get invited back. Type 2 pretends it does not exist.

I keep my enamel sign collection in the man cave.

My house is like that: Type 1: "you have interesting stuff", Type 2: '??? Why and what are you going to do with all that?"

I have no idea what that "hoc thingy" is all about and never have...but I guarantee I'd never use it around my squirrels.

The livE hociR is Evil Ricoh spelled backwards.
