I decided to tackle a closet today and found a bunch of old floppies in a box. Old backups to computers that I no longer own. There was no question about any of them- throw them out!!! Along with the VHS cassettes in two other boxes.
I'm packing for my trip to Montana. I'm going to be a volenteer at the Primal Quest, one of the worlds largest adventure races.
The Seattle Flickrites have a weekly challenge for a topic, and this week is 'Heat.' Many people will not remember that 'Heat' is a term used for a firearm, often called a 'Heater.' So, 'Packing Heat' means you would be carrying a concealed weapon.
My weapon of choice in this shoot was a Rock Island Armory Match Grade 1911-A1 semi-auto pistol. It carries 8 rounds in the magazine and 'one in the pipe.'

At the fish market on Grand and Chrystie. There's a whole lot to see in this one, you should really view large on black
I'm still trying to get ready for Friday... Which includes walking around in a tank top and khakis carrying random pairs of underwear.
First Sunday in August, and decent weather, inspired a trip to the Irvine Valley College monthly fleamarket. Having recently adopted a "If I can't wear it or eat it, I don't need it" mantra *, I came away with all of my money, and a few photos to share.
* Records are the only exception to the rule - but I rarely find albums reasonably priced at the flea markets - but I look anyway.
This would make a kick-ass name for a rock band, as well as killer artwork for their first album cover.
Given that we're basically going to be camping in our new old home for several months, I'm trying to be super-orderly about the packing because chances are that a lot of things won't be unpacked at all, so if I want to read Harry Potter, I want to know what box it's in!
At the end of our expedition the porters arrived and here everything is weighed before being taken down.
We follow a similar routine every morning, which includes spending about an hour packing medicines and vitamins for the day's clinic. These are all donated, and include painkillers, medicine for acid reflux, allergies, hypertension, some antibiotics, vitamin and mineral supplements. Often the medicine is inadequate when compared to our modern first world hospitals, but for these people it's the only choice they have.

I need to get some regular colored pencils...I tried using a bit of color on this...but since the are watercolor pencils, it mostly washed away with the paper of course.
Grab your Newton, Powerbook Duo 230, modem kit, and a cellphone the size of your forearm and hit the road, Jack! (See the original size for details.)
I think my iPhone does the work of all of this stuff combined!
