I took the Sprint out for a ride to Horse Mountain. I was up there for two hours and had the road totally to myself. Try to find a road like that in the Bay Area! From where the bike …
I got a second ride in the crane, this time we went up about half way, to take a 360 degree panorama. I still have to put the panorama together, but here’s shy Bill, the crane operator.
Another item that’s been sitting around waiting for the right opportunity is this rhinestone bra that I saw a couple of years ago. I just thought it was so outrageous that I bought it on impulse, not really knowing what …
The traditional Chinese dress, called a cheongsam, has always been a favorite of mine. I found this one at a Goodwill store several years ago, but since they are so fitted, it was hard finding just the right model. Fortunately, …
This is what I’d call an artsy fartsy photograph, and one I should save for the fair next year, because sometimes this is what really turns the judges on. If you’re looking at it and thinking, “Gee Matt, I can …
Here’s the view of our house from the top of the steeple. I got to ride up to top today to take pictures. 140 feet is a long way up there. I could brave it long enough to take pictures, …
My first post in about a month. There’s been a lot going on and several times this month I swore I was going to leave time at the end of the day to post something. It’s just been an incredibly …
Fortuna’s Autorama is going on this weekend so I wandered over there to take a look. This car was one of my favorites. It is a 1932 Stearns Knight limousine that is pretty much stock until you look under the …

What was keeping me very busy all this month was two e-commerce web sites that both wanted to be up by July 15th. The first one, for Celtic Furnishings, had to be finished before the owner left for a trip …
The Catholic church has had a crane in town all month, fixing the leaks in the steeple, as well as replacing the cross on the top that had rusted out. Bill Snow is the guy bravely doing the work. I …
After the parade, and since it was out and all spiffy, I took some pictures of Ferndale’s antique fire engine. More pictures of it can be found on the Ferndale Volunteer Fire Department web site.
I don’t want to name names, because the show doesn’t fall into the safe and sane category, but we spent our now traditional 4th watching the spectacular show that happens just down the street. As usual, the day started with …
Trevor has consistently been one of the better mousers that we’ve had. Now if only he could catch the gopher that has been making a mess out of the area next to our driveway. The area that we just covered …
