Back Story .........................................
Yesterdays activities left me fatigued but our goal
was reached. Angel Eyes has been spayed.
Sunday she will once again return to the clinic for
a checkup and bandage change.
Then in 3 more days she will return to have the
stitches removed. Things could change of course
but that's the schedule as of right now. That will be
3 round trips on a most dangerous of roads.
Not complaining, just stating the facts.
In a few more weeks 2-Tone will go through this same
same routine. She too will be spayed. And, that plan
could also change but we are always moving forward.
Please remember, this is all done from your generous
donations. A heartfelt thank you 4 that .....;-)
OK, Lets talk about this photo of Rocky ............................
We're on the side of the monkey mountain, Mama and
BTP are zipping around having big crazy fun .
See what looks like a cement building behind Rocky ?
Well it is, built over 40 years ago but never finished
when the head monk at that time died, building stopped.
Inside there's two toilets, squatters, knee killers for sure!
And it appears they have never been put 2 use. Obviously
they were built for monks that would've been living here.
Many song birds are singing from the trees while monkeys
are sending out an alert warning of monsters approaching.
Today and tomorrow will be spent doing re-supply and
some repair on the scooter/sidecar.Comes with the job.
Mama and all the Hooligans are doing just fine. The nuns
and monks will fill in the gaps in my absence.
But, Sunday, it will be back to the same same but different.
By daybreak I'll already be in motion heading in an easterly
direction towards Cambodia. Sidecar will be loaded with stuff.
Once again, thank you all for your ongoing support .......;-)
Thank you for your comments and donations.
Thank You.

Another photo of precious Jens, who I photographed in my neighbourhood in the start of summer ♡

Sorry dear Flickr Friends, after having been in contact with a rove beetle on three different places ( this one showing the right underarm, very inconvenient for mousing on a computer :P) and more normal things like flue, I am just lacking the time to do a last checkup on your photostreams, before travelling to Sumatra on Monday... but I will make up when I return beginning of July :D
Below a little info on this naughty little beetle.... best to blow it of your skin/clothes instead of brushing it of like I did.... ( it is healing now, will take some 2-3 months to disappear completely, the poison of this creature supposed to be 12x stronger than cobra venom....- also this bug will retain its toxicity for 8 years, if laying around somewhere or crushed against the wall and not properly cleaned !!
Picture of the bug in comment box....
The Rove Beetle is less than 1 cm long. The body is dark orange and the tip of the abdomen, the upper abdomen and the head are black. The upper middle iridescent greenish region of the abdomen are the hard wings (elytra). A pair of transparent wings are neatly folded and hidden under the hard wings. During daytime, the beetle will be seen crawling around swiftly with hidden wings resembling ants. When disturbed it raises the abdomen in a threatening gesture like a scorpion and can fly away. It can also run on water swiftly !
The Paederus species, such as the Nairobi fly, contain a potent toxin in their haemolymph which is highly irritating to the skin. Pederin is highly toxic, more potent than cobra venom.The Rove Beetle is less than 1 cm long. The body is dark orange and the tip of the abdomen, the upper abdomen and the head are black.

During daytime, the beetle will be seen crawling around swiftly with hidden wings resembling ants. When disturbed it raises the abdomen in a threatening gesture like a scorpion and can fly away. It can also run on water swiftly !
The haemolymph in the beetle’s entire body (except the wings) contains the most poisonous animal contact toxin in the world called ‘pederin’ (C24 H43 O9 N) named in 1953. It is 12 times more poisonous than cobra venom !
Dried and stored rove beetle for 8 years still retained it’s toxicity ! Contact collision with the beetle while travelling or sleeping, crushing it on the body or smearing with soiled fingers can cause conjunctivitis and severe dermatitis known as dermatitis linearis, paederus (rove beetle /staphylinidae) dermatitis, whiplash dermatitis etc.
WEEK 45 – Cordova Super Target Final Day, Set II
After that checkup on the Horn Lake Target – long overdue, even if it was only text-based! – we return our focus to the Cordova Super Target with this image, our last of the day, which looks primarily at the infants and toddlers department (located just past boys, as was seen in the previous image). Nothing but a whole lot of empty carpeting and shelves back this way, and again, kinda interesting to see that placed against the background of the calm red neon, looking just as it always has – unchanged, blissfully unaware of what was to come…
We’ll pick back up with our tour in this exact spot, two weeks from now, so stick around for that. In the meantime, next week – wrapping up at the Goodman/Getwell Kroger, then heading deeply southeast…

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
This shot was one of my fanciful Christmas light snaps, furthering my light show catalog. (Christmas did arrive this year). I heard a story that the recent hospital run (checkup?) was actually a Trump drug usage panic. Hear him snort. Hear him snort! Unleashing Trump on the world.
It also signifies my scrambled brain after two solid weeks of bring my new computer to usable. Some software like FireFox and the free Syncback become cleaner and more elegant on each new upgrade. MS can't remember front from back on their shorts.
This caught my eye as a cheerful Christmas display and broke my experimental Christmas light doldrums. The propagated jiggles were because it was hand held but how the manual zoom produced staccato streaks are beyond me. Were those lights flashing? This display grabbed me to try tricks while trying to preserve the colorful splash as part of the image. My motion, along with unavoidable and intentional jiggles to add to the action. This really related to me tonight. These are just Christmas lights which usually proved to be the best of experimental subjects. I have yet to figure out how to use action on tripod views, I guess a fluid head would be needed. I might try propping the lens shade on the tripod. Strap your seat belt on, I'll eventually try more. Reality is highly overrated even though chilblains and traffic is creeping up on me.
I was driving around town while remembering that I never finished my carny color lights or rose garden experimental joy. What a knot head to not immediately jump at another opportunity to try out the tricks before next summer's fireworks and the fair rides. I am still not out of snaps of the other subjects but I hope my breadth has expanded. I did vewwy, vewwy wittle warping and editing, for me at least, to present it the way I wanted. I have learned to slow the camera down even further to three seconds this time but I boosted the lens setting to max f:s. Three seconds is about enough to accomplish a wide array of tricks if prepared and prepanned so to speak. Of course this digital experimentation is cheap. I did set the camera to a shutter delay of one second and that was a help in preparing for the action. I will continue with that. I had fun shooting all of these and they were a breeze to edit! I get mostly muted colors in the ag settings I have shot, so I revel in JUST COLORS. And this title DOES have a nice touch for the actual scene, don't you think? I spent serious time giving this stuff titles.
Clones = Humans, so therefore it is a welfare for the troopers to annual body checkup to have them in top condition.
The trusty OM is in for its annual checkup so the Z5 and some MF lenses decided to make a short trip to Hue during the National Day holiday.One of the things that attracts my eye in Hue are the bridges two in particular this one which I call Rainbow Bridge not to be confused with the bridge to Niagara Falls and another that is still unnamed (by me).

This photo would not be here if Dot the Cat hadn't had her annual checkup yesterday in Seaview, Washington. Not only did Dot pass the exam, but she earned praise for being such an adorable kitty.
Afterwards, to return to the main highway we had to maneuver through the back streets of Seaview. That is where I spotted this old structure. I had to get a picture of it.
This morning while I was processing this image it occurred to me to search for a vintage photo of the building showing the sign in its original state, before time and the elements turned it into a ghost.
To my amazement, I found what I was looking for in a matter of minutes.
A 2008 article in the Chinook Observer, the local paper, not only had a photo in which the text on the sign was clearly legible but a story about the business that used to occupy the barn.
What you see here is not that photo. Instead, it is a composite image consisting of photos taken decades apart.
I took the background photo, which is in color, yesterday, September 14, 2020. I then overlaid key parts of a sepia photograph taken in 1939, or 81 years ago. That photo is from the collection of the Stever family, one of whom worked in this barn.
The Chinook Observer's caption states: "Standing in front of his Seaview Riding Academy, owner Angelo Deccio is pictured in 1939, arms akimbo and a jaunty cap on his head. His establishment offered riding lessons and horses for hire."
While it's a good thing the barn is still standing, it's a pity that it has not been restored and designated a local landmark. In a perfect world, the restored building could be used as a community center like the old gymnasium in Chinook, Washington, some eight miles to the southeast on the banks of the mighty Columbia River.
Be that as it may, here's the Observer's story about the Seaview Riding Academy:
"Seaview by saddleback: Remembering the Seaview Riding Academy"
By GLENN GILLESPIE May 25, 2009 Updated Dec 20, 2018
SEAVIEW - Just about anywhere you might go on this Peninsula, there are reminders of good times past, when life wasn't quite so fast-paced, when the nation's problems weren't quite so complex and, yes, when "the livin' was easy."
For years now, our relatively secluded and narrow strip of land in the farthermost corner of southwest Washington has beckoned to newcomers - some who wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle and some seeking new lives. They came from all over, first among them were sturdy, hard-working immigrants from Scandinavian countries seeking their fortunes in a faraway new world. They helped log the forests, till our soil and net and can our salmon, and their descendants still make up a large portion of our local population.
Later came families with homes established elsewhere who built summer homes on the Peninsula. They brought their families and enjoyed the leisure pursuits offered here. And for years our unexcelled fishing, clamming and miles of superb beaches have drawn tourists by the thousands.
Which brings us to the question of the day: Just what did all of these people - the local residents and visitors alike - do for fun in years gone by? What did they do in their leisure time, long before television, computers, video games and the other pastimes which keep folks so busy today?
Well, thanks to some helpful detective work at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, and the vivid memories of two friends and neighbors of ours - one in Seaview and the other in Portland - we have one answer to that question. What did many of the folks do in their leisure time? Some of them took riding lessons and rode horses, that's what.
Many of them took lessons and rode horses at the Seaview Riding Academy, which was established about 1930 as the local "place to go" for fun in those days. The academy's barn and out buildings were located on N Place near 37th, a block east of the Peninsula's main highway and diagonally across the street from the present Seaview fire station.
Today, about all that is left of the Seaview Riding Academy is a dilapidated building with worn wooden siding painted a fading red, its name barely visible on the side of the building. But in its heyday, when Italian native Angelo Deccio opened his business in 1930 and for years afterward, it was the place to go for riding lessons and a fun horse ride on the nearby beaches.
People who remember Deccio say he was an outgoing man who loved horses and enjoyed giving riding lessons. Our Seaview neighbor who remembers riding horses there as a youngster is Tom Stiver, who with his wife Marilyn live in a Seaview home built on the property once occupied by a small cottage named Clamalot. They bought the cottage in 1983 and then built their retirement home on the same lot in 2002.
Early photographs from the Stiver's family album, pictures taken in the late 1930s, show Angelo Deccio in various poses. One photo shows him sitting sideways on a horse and in another Deccio is standing in front of his stable, arms akimbo with a jaunty cap on his head. Still another photo shows Deccio as a working man, with a heavy saddle over his shoulder.
Stiver says his father, Jack Stiver worked on the Ilwaco railroad for a time, pounding spikes into rail ties. Eventually he met and became friends with Deccio. The father worked at Deccio's riding academy, part time in the summer, mostly in the barn. Stiver says his dad was one of those fellows they call pilots - the guys who shovel manure out of the barn and pile it here and pile it there.
On the special occasion of his father's 90th birthday in 2002, a photograph showing him as a young man standing in front of the riding academy was published in the Chinook Observer. Jack Stiver, who will be 97 in August, now lives in California.
Tom Stiver says most people who hired horses at the Seaview academy either rode them on the beaches or in pastures or farm trails located south of the barns. He said the academy had six to 10 horses for hire, and some out-of-town folks boarded their horses there.
"The boarding of horses was big business for the stable," Stiver said. "People who owned horses and lived in Portland or elsewhere and wanted to ride when they came here to visit, kept their horses there."
Stiver said he got a lot of free horse rides as a youngster, "and it was always fun for us kids going over to the barn, sitting around and watching the customers." He said he played with one of Deccio's younger daughters.
Stiver also said Angelo Deccio was widely known in the area, and "wherever you mentioned his name people around here knew him."
Deccio operated the riding academy until he died, and then his son Dale, known as Doc, took over the stables until his death in 1993. Then the building and the business were sold and the old Seaview Riding Academy closed its doors for the last time.
Our Portland friend and neighbor who rode horses at the Seaview Academy is Elizabeth Clifford, who from time to time came to the Peninsula from Portland with her parents as a youngster to visit her cousin.
"I remember going to the Seaview Riding Academy in the summer when I was about eight or 10 years old," Mrs. Clifford said. "It was really a nice place to go riding. My favorite horse there was named Blackie, a great horse with a nice disposition, who would do anything the rider wanted to do."
And so it goes. Folks who rode horses there in years past have fond memories of the Seaview Riding Academy and its colorful proprietor, Angelo Deccio. His was the local riding stable with a grandiose name.
(After Dale Deccio's death in 1993, when the riding academy closed, its buildings and property were sold to Douglas Rank of Redmond. Rank's brother Richard operates the nearby cabinet shop once owned by his late father.)

Wrangler was not happy with being cooped up in his carrier for a trip to the Vet. The good news is that, other than being a little overweight, he is generally a healthy kitty.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I wanted to remind all my wonderful friends to educate themselves, as early detection and regular checkups are so important......♥
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.....!!!
Hugs Tom
Each of the three crewed Skylab missions from May 1973 to 1974 were staffed by three astronauts. Since these were the longest missions ever conducted in low Earth orbit, one of the top science priorities was to collect medical data on the affects of long spaceflights on humans. The crew members served as test subjects for these experiments. Scientist Astronaut Joseph P. Kerwin, science pilot for the first manned Skylab mission and a medical doctor, conducted a physical exam for Astronaut Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr., the Skylab 2 mission commander. Kerwin conducted the exam in the crew quarters wardroom of the orbital workshop developed by the NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala, which also built equipment used for research. Conrad almost literally stands on his head in the weightless¬ness of space with only a restraint around his left leg holding in position. The Skylab crews added volumes to our knowledge about how humans live and work in space.

Went to the vets today for his checkup. Everything was alright until he checked his heart out. Askum has a heart condition, no worries it's not that bad but it restricts him from his favorite games ; fetch, agility, and swimming. He can play fetch but only for like 15minutes a day.
“CHECKUP ON HIGH--AP artist Ben Valdivieso has pictured the moment yesterday when the Apollo 7 astronauts fired the steering engine that will guide astronauts to the moon on a future flight. It was the most powerful maneuver ever performed by a manned spacecraft. When it was complete commander Schirra reported that “the machine performed beautifully.”
I’ve come across several of Mr. Valdivieso’s works while of course, searching for space stuff. I’m sure you’ll agree, the gentleman possessed serious talent. As an Associated Press artist, I ignorantly assume that he was called upon to portray a diverse range of subjects, so who knows what other excellent non-space works by him are out there. Unfortunately, I’m sure I'll never see those...my loss.
I like the creative touch of the lights of major metropolitan areas across North America.
Continue to Rest In Peace Good Sir:

Little Burrito had his appointment with the neurologist today, to determine if he will need surgery or not. Specialist said surgery is not indicated at this point, which is happy news!! He is to continue his resting, no stairs or jumping or running, and he needs to lose weight to put less strain on his spine. He's a grand little rester so that's no problem. Cutting back on his food is not so easy. He takes after me and he does love to eat. But we're going to work hard together on this and get him slimmer!!
The clinic at which the neurologist works is still on Covid rules so I couldn't go in with him, which made me sad. He always looks so abandoned when they take him through the door. He does fine without me though, and makes it clear he is delighted to see me when they bring back to the car.
The main camera is in the shop for a thorough clean and checkup; the weather is shocking and like everyone at my latitude I now work longer hours than the sun.
All that has actually been good for me as I am now heavily investing in studying my subject: history, composition, processing, printing - as much as I can. I have been finding Ian Plant's books and videos to be hugely informative and would recommend them strongly.
This has always been one of my favourite shots, but my original processing had some of traits that I am trying to avoid: a fear of shadows which results in my artificually lightening them beyond what the eye saw; a sea that is brighter than the sky; a loss of that dawn feeling; a loss of saturation in the highlights (lost because I dodn't know how to target that area without overdoing eveything else); over sharpening and finally a comp that followed all the rules - I admit that the balance of this new framing isn't typical, but I needed to capture the heaviness and dominance of the pier without giving up or handing over to the sky: this framing does that I think.
My original version is in the comments below.
Finally, apologies for not keeping up with my daily obligations: my wife and I are sharing the only PC in the house - hence me doing this processing at 4:30 in the morning.
Doing a checkup on the air conditioning unit up in the attic. I wasn’t able to work in the workshop due to very high humidity and rains throughout the day, but maybe tomorrow I can get a lot accomplished there!
