Once active (and muddy) and fruiting vintage bottles, it now lays barren and frozen. Might not become active again until spring.
I came across a little fishing lure box full of picks today while I was digging around for something. I thought I'd share this photo of some Van Halen picks that came my way during the '98 tour. You can see the Austin Powers-themed Michael Anthony pick and the Japanese pick. The green Tortex-y pick was a really common one on that tour.
Down at the bottom, though, you'll notice that yellow D'Addario Light Medium .027 pick. That came out of one of Ed's guitar cases. His tech was like, "Wanna see what Ed actually uses when he's not throwing picks to the audience?" So he opened up the case of the purple Wolfgang Ed was using a lot at the time and there were a handful of those in there. He's like, "Take a couple. WAY more hip than a signature pick."
Anyway, then on the right you can see the white one with the, "Have a Nice Day" thing. There were a ton of those little slogans on various picks. Anyway, it feels almost exactly like the yellow pick. That was a few months later. Ed musta been like, "Dang ol' stage picks need to feel like mah Ol' Yeller!" Or something. You can never get a straight story about anything from Ed, so I make up my own narrative.
Incidentally, D'Addario used Imperial measurements, so .027 was actually .027 of an inch, not a millimeter. So in "normal" pick sizes, that's about a .68 mm pick.
Digging a Hole

This scene greeted those of us trying to drive down my street today. What they are trying to accomplish remains a mystery, although our postal carrier speculated that they are doing some repairs on the sewer. I find that unlikely, though, since the sewer is on the opposite side of the street from where they are digging. There's a hose with water coming out of it in front of the Chevy on the right, but I can't see the source of that hose. It disappears from view in front of the left-front tire, and I can't tell where it goes from there. "Curiouser, and curiouser," said Alice.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
Today we were digging a trench for the fence we're putting in for the Kingdom Hall. We worked from 9am-2pm. It was hot, the ground was incredibly hard, and we had faulty tools that kept breaking. We loved it.
First we put down a string and broke through with the tools, then we moved the string and did the same on the otherside. After that, we started removing the grass from on top. After the grass was off, we softened the soil by digging into it and breaking up the clumps. The dirt was mixed with clay and rocks, so a few of the tools broke and bent. It was actually extremely hard work in the incredibly hot sun. Good news, the clouds rolled in after we were all done. Figures. :]

An impromptu clam digging at the Shine Tidelands State Park. We came across a spot where we hit our limit on the little neck and the butter clams in no time. ktula made clam pasta and clam pizza from our harvest. The pasta was top-notch. This was his first attempt on making clam pizza. It was a bit too oily, soggy, and too fishy.

I took this macro photo a while ago using my Vivitar 70-300mm, a 20mm extension tube and my Nikon D3300. I hope you like it.
