My cube for the I Got Wood project arrived today!!!
I knew it was going to be small, but I was still shocked when I saw it. I'm cack-handed enough at the best of times so this is going to be a real challenge - an exciting one.
Big thankyou to My Dog Sighs who's putting so much work in to the project and no doubt spending far too much dosh on it.
I saw this old milk truck in a pasture on Rt-44/55 near Ardonia, Ulster County. I can only imagine all of the home delivery's this truck had made.
I took a few shots of him, and he got really upset. So he turned around and looked like he's going to kick me. I got away before he could do it.
Got some sunshine with Haley. Still waiting for senior clients to roll in. The school year is over in like a month though.
So here's the story. North Carolina is apparently full of waterfalls. Sunday we were going to go hunting for a few. Bought a book and everything. Well I read the wrong page and got us to the end of a 4 mile one way winding mountain road with a rock face on one side and a cliff on the other just to find out that hiking to the one I read by mistake would have been close to suicide. Anyway, goofed that one up and opted for an early retreat to tacos and a movie back at my buddies place rather then drive all over the North Carolina countryside hunting down falling water. Next time I know how to better prepare and it was a good lesson in preparation since had then been an assignment it could have been disastrous. The next day I went around downtown Charlotte and sure enough I got a picture of a waterfall... :)

I got lucky. In many things in life. I got lucky to be at work with a great job in something I like. I got lucky I never joined the military like I once considered. I got lucky I never got my PhD. I got lucky that my job as Assistant Manager at Sabaro's didn't work and that my Assistant Manager job at the Dry Cleaner also was temporary. I got lucky to be working at a great company at Amazon. And I got lucky with this shot. I am sitting at work in the morning in a dark room with the shades drawn and only the light of my screen. I put the camera on timer, guessed on the f/stop and shutter speed and let it fly propped up on a kleenex box.
How this picture was taken pretty much sums up my luck. :)
Ça faisait longtemps que j'avais pas fait de selfie. J'arrive pas à ressembler à Jack Nicholson. Tant pis.
Et oui, je suis pas content.
Race Across America 2011
RAAM is a 3,000-mile single-stage cycling race across America. From the start in Oceanside, California, to the finish line in Annapolis, Maryland, RAAM athletes & crews race around the clock in an endurance challenge unlike any other.
I followed the RAAM adventures of British 4-man team Crank Addicts' as they charged across thirteen States to reach the finish line in just 6 days and 3 hours.
