It will be just a quick post tonight, unless I start off on a tangent! I'll try to refrain.
I took a roll of b&w film to the camera store to have it developed. You can't have b&w developed anywhere these days it seems, other than a specialty store. There are 36 photos on the roll and it is going to cost me around $30, plus a CD would be another $8. I figured I can use the scanner if I want to have a digital copy. (I did check online and the cost would run pretty close to the camera shop price. I'd rather deal with a human in a local camera shop and get the photos back sooner.)
I currently have another roll of 36 in the camera, and when that is finished I will go exclusively to color, as Costco develops color film. I love using the film cameras with developing being the only problem. I think my photo composition is much better with an old style camera and a viewfinder. I know I'm in the minority on that point, and I'm not trying to make any converts to my preferences.
I did a short walk at Mather Field this afternoon, but my legs let me know they wanted to rest after the workout at the gym last night.
My youngest son is coming over in the next couple of days and will cover my swamp cooler with a tarp. I need to check to make sure there is enough rope to tie it. I hope we don't get an unexpected heat wave!
I look for my forest service maps to arrive in the mail tomorrow - I will try to dream of planning a trip with them as I fall asleep tonight!

I can't get the black lab I saw online out of my mind and have been corresponding with someone from the lab rescue about seeing him. She told me he was in a kennel in Galt undergoing treatment for kennel cough, and then would be in a foster...

I got a roll of film developed today at Costco and asked for the disc to be included. Judie Ashford was right in that I should ignore the software on the disc and just look for the Pictures folder. I've never been able to open up one of...

Just got back from the Volksmarch, which turned out to be 11.08 km! I'm too weary to figure out the conversion, but it's probably somewhere around 7 miles. I can never remember if you divide by 1.2 or multiply by .6, or maybe it's...

I woke up at 6:30 this morning when I heard a woman giggling in the adjacent room. Dang! I just took my time getting dressed, went to the office to get coffee, and ate breakfast in my room. I left Green River at 7:30, forgetting I would...

Stephanie hosted the monthly family dinner tonight, and she had pasta and meatballs like I haven't tasted for years! My camera battery gave out after only a couple of photos, so I didn't get the crowd. Her are three goodies, plus an oldie-but-goodie! ...
