That's pretty heavy reading for 12 year old!

I've just been reminded of my erstwhile neighbour, whom we referred to as "Spitter". I must write up this "Rupertesque" story and post it here.

Been a long week, 10, 12 hour days. And still one day left.

Good money, but I’m beat.

Sitting in the foot doctor’s office falling asleep.

I got a nice little bonus today, two hours early dismissal from work for any veterans across Dept of Interior. Stopped off and bought printer ink (ouch) and just chilling out with the dogs. And NOT buying a K-3!

Nice shot Bert!

Looks like he's worked that tree trunk over pretty good!

Shot this at noon today......

Mrs Rupert came in and was looking at my last post and said......"Those guys know you aren't really like that....don't they?" 52 years and I still have her fooled......I should get some kind of medal for that!

BTW- I like those squirrels over my gold medallions and junk....did you do that Bert?

Regards!

A rare, 1956 Weber kettle grill sold on eBay for $4,371.
$3,021 more than my, somewhat rare, baby blue one sold for.

Well, it saved somebody from buying, what, 5 K-3s.

And the funny thing is the look they'd give you if you suggested using that kind of money on camera gear.

I hope she was equally accepting of the occasional playgirl on the mattress.
