A client invited us to hear Sam Ham. He is a very motivational speaker from Idaho. Holly and I were delighted to be able to go.
This handwritten service log dates to the 1960s and contains the handwritten signatures of engineers who were maintaining the brewery's lift machinery several decades ago.

Dear Santa,
How do reindeer fly? How do you get in a house without a chimny? I hope you give all the children their toys.
With best luck and wishes for Christmas Eve, Alex.
PS I miss you.
PPS Thank you.
Today I saw this big plastic bin in my garage and remembered that it used to be my room in like, middle school. When I opened it I found every hanson poster I had on my wall (like over 300) and magazine clip outs of "hot guys" like barry watson and that guy from limp bizkit.
I also found this letter that was much older than everything else!
This is a letter that Elizabeth gave me in elementary school during class. She said I could borrow her Tamagotchi during lunch (they were sold out and I didn't have one yet ) and then said I couldn't and I think I was probably mad at her.
Part of an old piano dumped in the vicinity of the seawall, Georgetown, Guyana, South America. You can see what I think are the tuner's markings in blue ink.
Note the surcoat, strapped on the sides, worn over a coat-of-plates; a hauberk with half sleeves worn over studded and splinted vambraces (probably made of cuir bouilli); retention chains attached to the coat-of-plates on the breast through the surcoat; full round greaves; poleyns worn over cuisses ending in scalloped edges; a mail collar (standard), and sabatons.
Also note that Lorraine, the region where this effigy comes from, used to be part of the Holy Roman Empire until it became French in the 18th century, hence the German fashion.
A highly interesting article on the counts of Vaudémont and their effigies can be found here, in French: documents.irevues.inist.fr/bitstream/handle/2042/56494/AN...
Spent a few nights in hospital. Insomnia kept me awake reading my hospital notes with a crazy 80 year old women in the bed opposite shouting abuse at the nurses. Sometimes I wonder what the hell my life has come to.
Note the differing colour and placing of the celebrity names and what effect the revised lower panel without Wright Grille has on the look of the newer bus nearer the camera.

Some notes:
Lense: Standard 18-55- kit lense with 13 mm spacer ring. This spacer ring, from a set of three (13, 21,31, chinese product), is active and supports aperture control and autofocus (Amazon, approx. 100 Euro / set). In this application, this is not really necessary, because focussing is done best manually and aperture is fully opened most of the time.
The dew drops come from a small sprayer. :-)
