[misspix]

I couldn't find a picture of the one I wanted to post, though it would have been within a hundred feet of the one I posted. Apparently I never took a shot of it. It's on the summit of Mount San Antonio (usually called Mount Baldy). It's huge, and has been built up over the years by many people. Every rock in the pile has someone's name written on it with their birth date and date of death below. It's a memorial cairn. It's very interesting.
That is very interesting!

Hullo Cat,Jim,Lisa,Jamie :)

[Permagrin]

Hullo Miss :)

Better day today?

[thomascanty]

The hummingbirds have finally noticed the feeder I put on the balcony a few weeks ago. I was on the balcony reading an hour ago and I heard one arrive. It even hovered about a foot in front of my face for a few seconds, looking at me. I'm not sure if he was checking me out or saying thank you... :lol:

Yes, better today. It is 'WorkAtHomeWednesday'. Although I seem to have developed a nasty summer cold :confused: That has me a bit irrationally irritated :lol:

[Permagrin]

[thomascanty]

You didn't have a booger, did you? ;)

Not that I'm aware of. Why? Do they like boogers? I thought they prefered sugar water. :lol:

[Pete]

[thomascanty]

What are boogers main ingredient?

I don't even want to know.

[Pete]

Pollen too.. Don't forget fragrant pollen..

[Becky N]

You didn't have a booger, did you? ;)

EEEEEeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwee!!!!

dust and mucous and frankly I'm ill now

Me too, of all days to decide to eat lunch.:rolleyes:

*sits in corner turning green*

[Permagrin]

Pollen too.. Don't forget fragrant pollen..

lol...fragrant pollen :lol::lol: my twisted brain suddenly went off


some advert exec somewhere:

"we'll have the standard line of boogers with simply dust and mucus and then we'll have the specialty line with fragrant pollen enhancers...we'll charge a premium for those!"

[Guineh]

Hmm.

Perhaps I should return later.

G'mae all.

Been busy ... Still working on old pictures.

Oh, I managed to get into the beta of Aviary, an online image editing/processing/analysis suite. Pretty cool, only 2 tools available, One of which is very interesting... some folks have made some pretty neat stuff with it. Works by linking together a bunch of units to come up with a final canvas. The tool is called Peacock (http://a.viary.com/blog/peacock).

[misspix]

oh no! :confused: the way the weather is over there, you should be well so you can enjoy it....
I know :confused: irritating.

[Jamie Holladay]

Nope but I am sure Cat know what word I was refering too.;)

[Guineh]

Here's a sample of what can be done in Peacock:

I was quite impressed, just by simply linking processing components together you can create some really nice images.

Pete, what did you have to eat today, you seem to be leaking a little. :p

[Harm]

He's clearly got Dehli-Belly

[Pete]

Pete, what did you have to eat today, you seem to be leaking a little. :p

Hehe.. Stir fry. I made it. I can hear Ali in the kitchen scraping all the carbon off the bottom of the wok now...

[cfpackerfan]

There you are again, talking about food. :lol:

[thomascanty]

*follows with duct tape and plastic bags*

Are you packing the leg lamp, too? Or, are you really done with that, for both threads?

[cfpackerfan]

That sounds fantastic though.

I had blood tests done this morning, so I was on a 12 hour fast. When I finally got to have something to eat it tasted horrible. (Don't know why) So I haven't eaten since, and now I'm HUNGRY.
I guess I could go make lunch, eh? :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

Are you packing the leg lamp, too? Or, are you really done with that, for both threads? :shock: I SAW that! I was shocked. Really shocked. What am I going to complain about if she leaves the leg lamp behind? Because, you know I hate it, but it's a love-hate relationship.

[thomascanty]

Kit, when did you get that title? I don't think I've seen it before. :confused:

I discovered last week that one of my favorite notable people from the California Gold Rush era is buried in St. George, Utah. There's another reason I have to head your way!

[Harm]

Which one looks better?

[thomascanty]

Which one looks better?

Tough call. I like both of them.

[Becky N]

1st one Harm, but then I'm partial to blue and it looks more like twilight.

[Permagrin]

oh I like them both!

[Harm]

It was really the 2nd one, but i tinkered with the temperature setting and got the 1st result...pretty nifty..

Weird thing is, is that the horizon is actually level, but the building on the right is leaning in...issues with the 17-85mm kit lens?

Oh and they were filming "The Surrogates" in town earlier this week

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/Harm007/Photos/Summer%20Images%202008/bostonfilming-thesurrogates.jpg

nice setup they had, but I didn't see anyone this time. Saw Bruce Willis a few weeks ago though

[thomascanty]

Weird thing is, is that the horizon is actually level, but the building on the right is leaning in...issues with the 17-85mm kit lens?

It's barrel distortion caused by the wide angle.

not issues, it's a normal perspective problem...easily fixed in photoshop.

Ahhh, cool so at least it is fixable...Still though not a bad little starter lens.

[cfpackerfan]

JIM! Did I tell you that I finally got to go out with my mom on her canoe? It was great!
There was a cute little lake near where we were camping (about 30 miles actually, LOL) and we took the canoe out one of the days. It was great. Peaceful.

[cfpackerfan]

*packs up favorite neon bar light*

[Guineh]

Hmmm... the move will likely happen when I'm not here ...

I'll find my way. I always do. :D

I am really done. I am starting a new chapter :)
:shock: I SAW that! I was shocked. Really shocked. What am I going to complain about if she leaves the leg lamp behind? Because, you know I hate it, but it's a love-hate relationship.
I am sure there will be something to complain about :lol: and Bobert will be along, I officially pass the leg to him *bows regally*
*Cranks Up Moving Van and Backs up to Front Door*
HEY!!! Watch the flahrs!

[cfpackerfan]

You can plant more. Sheeees

Hey don't destroy the place. someone might want to use it again.

[thomascanty]

I got it a couple weeks ago when I commented on one of Dan's drawings. :lol:

Maybe it happened while I was traveling, and I missed it...

And who is this favorite notable? Which cemetery?

Henry Bigler (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=bigler&GSfn=henry&GSbyrel=in&GSdyrel=in&GSst=47&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=51650&), and in the Saint George City Cemetery.

Bigler was a member of the infamous Mormon Battalion. My friend Suzi in Northern California loaned me about 20 books back in April. I just finished reading the one about the Mormon Battalion today. Anyway, after Bigler was discharged from the army, he headed north to what would become Sacramento, to Sutter's fort. His original plan was to get supplies for a trip to Salt Lake City to reunite with his family, but he and several other fellow Mormons decided to spend the winter in California working for Sutter instead, so they could have some money to go home with.

Bigler ended up being assigned to James Marshall who was building a sawmill for Sutter on the American River's South Fork. He was there when Marshall discovered gold in the mill's tailrace, and boom... California was on the map in a big way!

Nobody really knew the exact date that the gold discovery happened until many years later when Bigler's diary was found and this entry, dated Monday, January 24, 1848, was discovered:

This day some kind of mettle was found in the tail race that looks like goald first discovered by James Martial, the Boss of the mill.

[Permagrin]

IIRC, the last time Pete got bombed and came on and told us how much he loved us, it was after a pub lunch :lol::lol:

[cfpackerfan]

[Becky N]

That wasn't a pub lunch, that was an evening out in Geneva.

I was pretty steamed back then.

[Becky N]

does that mean we can jump up and down on the sofas etc.??


Yes, a few well placed rips that let some of the stuffing out will make it perfect.

[Harm]

Not had one of those in a while. Maybe tomorrow... :D

The bosses call it "networking"...

IIRC, the last time Pete got bombed and came on and told us how much he loved us, it was after a pub lunch :lol::lol:
