Very nice, glad your re-plant came out for your clients. Keep them going, soon the birds will be at the seed head. We have a Gold Finch at one of ours today.

Best iPhone app EVER

Half way through a very boring meeting yesterday a coleague showed me his latest iPhone app. I downloaded it immediately. (and it's free)

I produced THIS with it ...... enjoy

LOL!!!

Well, today was a total fail... Not only is the airplane still sitting on the bottom of the reservoir, but I dropped and borked one of my cameras.

The recovery operation is taking longer than expected, and I'm headed back there tomorrow in hopes they'll be able to raise it. I was able to get some shots of the artifacts already recovered, but not much else. I was so bored that at one point I was taking pictures of the ducks for something to do.

I was carrying the 70-200 at my side on the R-Strap and had the 2X extender on it. Apparently the button on the extender brushed against my leg and released. The camera and extender fell about 2½ feet to a concrete walk. The extender is fine except for a cosmetic scratch but the mirror on the camera won't return in the normal fashion. It seems to be functioning normally otherwise. It was my own carelessness that caused the accident, but I just don't need this right now...

Hi Strange(r) Jamie.

Wood chips are a must when ever I grill. They get soaked before the fire is lit.

I soak mine, then mix in about 1/3 dry. This gets things smoking quicker, yet lasts a while too due to the soaked ones. If it is a long cook, I only smoke for the first hour or so, if something quicker the entire time.

Hey Jim.

Well, I found some good casual pants and a couple belts. I have a suit from my fathers funeral that I can wear to this one. I am all set clothes wise. It is so darn hot and muggy out east I will likely wear only shorts, sandals and a silk shirt anyway.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Trying to figure out how to put meat tenderizer on it without sitting here Jim/Neil style.

Caitlin's response through her tears and sobs when I told her of her grandma's passing today, was the she had been afraid of something like this happening. Poor girl can't help but feeling a bit jinxed, regardless of the fact she knows in her mind that it was just coincidence.

Oh man.. That sucks so bad.

John, that really sucks about the mirror. I guess you can be thankful it was not worse, mirrors are easy to replace, or so I have been told.

That sucks.

Doesn't it...

At least I still have two other bodies; the 20D and Heather's D60...

Poor girl, she is lucky to have a good caring dad

John, sorry to hear about the suckiness.

Jim, my heart goes out to Caitlin.

Hi Cat
Hi Jamie
Thanks Pea
G'night Sarge

Lou.

I picked him up today from one of the shelters about an hour away. They called us because his time was up and he was 'too sweet to kill'.

He is a hound in all ways except one. His body shape, temperament, and VOICE are all hound, but his coloring is Catahoula.
What a gorgeous, sweet boy.

I was going to bring him here, but to save my sanity one of our volunteers took him in for a few days. Hopefully we get a few of ours adopted on Saturday.

How big is he? His body looks just like the K-bob's.

Didn't know about the barfing. Sending clean line dried sock air, too.


Not knocking Traeger at all, but at the fair last week was vendor that had THESE and also sells Traeger. He "says" for the price($200 less), it is every bit as good as the Traeger. But consult T.D. and Cat before going by "hear say/sales pitch".

thanks Becky

and that looks pretty good but I don't own a traeger either.
