    May Monthly Assignment: "Tools" (cwgrizz's choice)

    This is a triptych of the level mentioned in the previous post, in pieces. Top panel shows all the pieces, the big wood piece, and the two actual levels that mount in it. Alas, I didn't think of it until later, but the two metal pieces are reversed with regard to their positions in the wooden...

    May Monthly Assignment: "Tools" (cwgrizz's choice)

    ATTENTION EVERYONE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! OK, so I lied. Actually, it is a drill. A rather unusual one. I found it, just today, at a “Trash to Treasures” event in Sutter Creek, California. It appears to be an adjustable auger bit, that can range in hole size from ⅝″ to 1⅜″. EXIF...

    No, I haven't looked into it. I see little reason to do so. I've got a system that works.

    Weekly Challenge May 17 - 23: "Abandoned"

    A bit premature, I think? I think you're off by a day.

    Aokatec GPS

    In the mean time, I've taken an entirely different approach, now. When I'm out on an excursion on which I expect to take pictures, I run Ultra GPS Logger on my cell phone, to create a record of everywhere I've been. When I get home, and transfer the pictures from my camera and the...

    My Cat, Buddy…

    I've learned in conversations with neighbors that this cat was not merely left behind, as I'd previously assumed, by a family that moved away and didn't take him with them. He was kicked out of his home, several years ago, by a woman who decided that she no longer wanted a cat. This apparently...

    Weekly Challenge May 17 - 23: "Abandoned"

    This cat seems to be getting a lot of my recent photographic attention, having been featured in a few of my other recent challenge entries, as well as this one. He's lived the majority of his life as an abandoned stray, kicked out of his home several years ago, as I have recently learned, by...

    Weekly Challenge April 19 -25 "Reflections"

    He is a great cat. Apparently, he was abandoned by a former resident of my apartment complex, some time from 2015 to 2018, and lived as a semi stray from that time, until about a year ago, when he suddenly decided that he's my wife's and my cat. For nearly a year, I've described him as our...

    Weekly Challenge April 19 -25 "Reflections"

    Buddy likes to hang out on this bathroom counter. I thought I might just turn him around facing the mirror, and get some good shots, but he wasn't having it. Tapping on the mirror with my finger, I was able to get him to face it, but not long enough for me to back away and take the picture...

    My Cat, Buddy…

    By definition, a pussy cat is female. Buddy is a tom cat. My wife and I do also have a pussy cat, a 12-year-old Siamese, named Allie. Allie hates her new brother. She's been an only cat nearly all her life, and very much prefers it that way. Buddy wants to be friends with her, tries to...

    My Cat, Buddy…

    Not really wildlife. Not any more, anyway. I understand him to have been abandoned some time in 2018 [Edit: More recent information from a different person whose knowledge is likely more credible, puts his abandonment as early as 2015 or 2016], and to have lived as a sort of semi-stray around...

    Weekly Challenge March 22-28 "Powerful"

    Well it was very powerful, back in its time. But its time was late 1980s to early 1990s. By today's standards, not so much. This is a motherboard from an original NeXT computer. Exif Data:

    Weekly Challenge March 8-14 "Vintage/Classics”

    The lamps kind of have a vintage look to them, but they're not. My wife, Seanette got those at Walmart in 2012. The radio, a Motorola 10T28M, I've been able to reliably date to about 1957 or 1958. It's a model that was built only during that time period, apparently just those two years...

    Weekly Challenge March 1-7 Animal

    On some previous occasion when “Animals” was the weekly theme, I posted a picture of a mite, the smallest critter I could find and photograph at the time with my D3200. Since then, I've acquired an adapter that lets me use my D3200 with my microscope, and I was determined to find an even...

    February Monthly Assignment: Goes Together

    These two cats don't really go together. Buddy, the ginger, thinks that they do. He likes Allie, the Siamese, and wants to be friends with her. But Allie wants nothing to do with Buddy. Whenever Buddy tries to interact with her, Allie nearly always reacts in a very hostile manner. This...
