I can be a bit intimidating to submissives, however in my business, submissives are in charge, and Dave takes good care of me. As you can see, I do my best work at night..........all night. On this night, Dave loaded a roll of ASA 800 film into a Canon AE-1 and mounted his camera to the Lumicon Giant Easy Guider attached to my focuser........oh, the nerve some men have!..........anyway, the Giant Easy Guider, has a .65 focal reducer built in, and that changes my focal ratio from f/8 to a fast f/5.2...............men are always to fast........take some time, Dave............ anyway, he made my work easy, the exposure duration was 1/1000th of a second.
I started feeding our birds a slight variation of an old family "secret" recipe formula earlier this year. It seems they like it well enough to invite all the neighbors and relatives over for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and all snack times to. This photo reminds me of Congress. I do not know why. It just looks that way. There are eight birds here, with six feeding holes on the feeder.
In this picture, you can see two feeders. If I fill the upper feeder this morning, it will be empty by noon tomorrow. I make up two quarts at a time, usually twice a week. We use two of the bottle feeders and the UFO type on the fence.
As you may already know, Deborah and I have been very busy the last few months redoing our home and cleaning out our "stuff". Which brings me to this entry into my blog. Today I have been cleaning up some old paperwork from a bookshelf in my office, and ran into an old newspaper clipping from the COAST REPORT, the newspaper of ORANGE COAST COLLEGE in Costa Mesa. The clipping was dated May 4, 2005.
I had met Dr. Henry Rhodes, at a lunch table at the cafeteria at OCC while having lunch with Dr.'s Tom and Gloria Bogdan. Gloria introduced me to Henry after her and Tom's tour of the S.S. ARCO TEXAS, just months before. We actually had a "scuttlebutt" type lunch. I wanted to pick his brain a bit, on deeper subjects, but thought it better to just keep the conversation to seagoing topics. Now, I wish I had, however, I think we both enjoyed the moments together remembering what going to sea is all about.
Just to the West of my house is Ann. She rents in a duplex and decided to drop an old Pentium II system without a NIC card into my possession. I have been trying to restore the beast and possibly upgrade it to something that may be useable. It is currently running Win98 and the old BIOS was only supporting Win9x. I managed to find an upgrade for that system BIOS that now supports all Windows Operating Systems. I will work on this thing when I have more time, but as of now, it will not read some CDROM disks.
Today this place was very busy. They had probably 10 or 12 vehicles waiting in line to place their orders at the drive up window. My wife was driving, so she let me out to place an order at the walk up window. I had my Quad-shot in about 2 minutes and we were back on the road in under 5 minutes. The line of cars had not moved.
I have been very busy lately in restructuring my computer systems for specific tasks and purposes. This is definitely not for the faint-of-heart. My desktop machine is running WinXP-Pro and so is one laptop. My PowerBook G-4 is running MacOS X, ver. 10.4.10 and my last PC will be running SUSE LINUX 9.2. This will be a new experience for me. But it will be fun!
