Playing Dirty
While I was working on the Sprint, I noticed that several tires were flat on the ATV. It hasn’t really been used all year because when we started on the garage, it sat outside and the battery went dead. So … Continue reading →

Even as much as Lori loves her Macintosh, I don’t think she understands this recent purchase of mine. As I mentioned earlier, I have a bit of a computer museum going on in my garage. Starting with my Commodore 64, … Continue reading →
I would have liked to spent today’s entry telling you about the nice Christmas we had. But in what has unfortunately become a day after Christmas tradition around here, our yard once again became a dumping ground for Williams Creek. … Continue reading →
This year we seemed to have endless trouble keeping our Christmas lights lit. It seemed on any one night either the damp conditions would cause the GFI circuit breaker to trip, or the timer would malfunction and wouldn’t turn the … Continue reading →
Last night was Ferndale’s Lighted Tractor Parade, one of my favorite Ferndale events. Lot of entries this year and it was nice to see the Leonardi’s back in the fray after a year’s absence. Bansen’s brought their train back to … Continue reading →
A current thought in automotive safety is that vehicles are getting so safe that drivers feel too comfortable doing things in their vehicles other than driving. Case in point is this accident. I can’t say what was going on in … Continue reading →
When we were assembling our green house this summer, one concern we had was how it would survive our winter storms. Apparently, not well. The windows are plastic sheets that are held in with little wire clips and it doesn’t … Continue reading →
Here’s Matt desicating the countryside in the name of decorating the home for the holidays. Althought it looks like he’s trying to hide his identity, he did have a valid permit for this endeavor. For only ten dollars you can … Continue reading →
When I got up this morning it looked like it was going to be a nice sunrise. I pondered for a few minutes whether I should run to work and grab the camera and then go out to Fernbridge to … Continue reading →
Looking on the calendar I saw we had a full moon coming up so with the clear weather that we’ve been enjoying, I thought I would get a photo of the moon rising behind the Gingerbread. Only problem was it … Continue reading →
First Sunday in December means it’s time to put the lights up on the town Christmas tree. This year we were blessed with pretty good weather for the task. No rain, and the temperature wasn’t too bad either for an … Continue reading →
Walking down the street to the post office this morning Engine 2 went by. Looks like Company 2 has a new recruit. I guess Santa’s getting tired of all that cold and wanted a job with action on more than … Continue reading →
After 5 years of faithful service, my first digital SLR, this Fuji S1 Pro, died a quiet death. All it could say was ERR on the display. Researching it on the web, it seemed a common way for it to … Continue reading →
The rain continued, rather heavy at times, so once again photo ops were limited. We did stop at one spot for a hike down to some very scenic bluffs. In between rain squalls I was able to take a few … Continue reading →
Today we continued our drive down the Oregon coast. It rained most of the day so it wasn’t too conducive to taking pictures. Towards the end of the day we passed Prehistoric Gardens. Lori was surprised to see it still … Continue reading →
Well, actually it’s a double wide, but the setting is so nice you don’t really notice. On our way out of Woodinville, we crossed the sound to visit Lori’s uncle in Lilliwaup. How nice it must be to have your … Continue reading →
Ever since hearing about it several years ago, I have wanted to go on the Seattle Underground tour. Lori went on it this summer on her vacation with her sister and came back raving about it. So much of the … Continue reading →
Thanksgiving was spent in Woodinville, at the Hoopers. My camera’s batteries were charging while everyone was enjoying a scrumptious feast, and since I knew others were taking photos too I didn’t worry about it. So this isn’t what I’d call … Continue reading →
Melaine was back in town again, and we decided to dress her up as a pirate once again since I found the eye patch I had bought earlier. I’m thinking now that this is the start of a four part … Continue reading →
Well one thing breaking my toe last week did was to motivate me to install the molding in my room so it wouldn’t be a hazard in the hall anymore. Now that I have a compound miter saw I could … Continue reading →
On my way home from Fort Bragg I stopped in Westport for gas. Without knowing that I was a photographer, the clerk mentioned that there is a beautiful spot to take pictures nearby and pointed the way to it for … Continue reading →
I had to go down to Fort Bragg today for a business meeting and had some time afterwards to take pictures. Under the Noyo Bridge I came across this boat that took a rather unorthodox approach to docking. Not sure … Continue reading →
Three years ago we bought a bunch of molding to trim the ceilings in the parlor and in my room. We installed the molding in the parlor right away, but the rest of it has been sitting in a pile … Continue reading →
We had a little bit of time between when we finished with the vintage clothing and when I needed to leave for the chamber meeting, so Lori suggested shooting the vest she recently purchased. I figured this would be a … Continue reading →
I had a photoshoot yesterday afternoon with a new model and had planned to spend the morning getting everything ready for it. The fire took up most of that time so then I thought we would just shoot outdoors, since … Continue reading →
My pager went off this morning at 5:30am, and the first report of fire sounded like it was going to be the typical river bar fire that always seems to disturb my weekend sleeping. Since it had been raining I … Continue reading →
A few new pieces of hardware have been added to the desk. First, I finally broke down and bought a tablet. I got a Wacom Graphire 4 that also includes a cordless mouse. Still getting used to using the pen. … Continue reading →
