... Sole pesters Tessa to play with him but Tessa isn't interested. My parenting style consists of leaving them work it out on their own. It does get tiring though.

I found "whitebalance" in vuescan color tab is quite useful for more natural color - of course WB adjustment in PSE or LR is essential but far better than "Auto" of vuescan WB setting caz it cause high saturation ( yes, too high ).
... 久し振りにうちの猫。いつも lovely :)
BTW I shot some photos using another flexpar ( 0.5m - 1.0m ) and the result blew my mind !
I gotta upload another photo today and catch you up later, my friends.

Here are pictures of Cosmo the cat taken during the holidays ending with New Year's Day, 2023. They were at home in Ypsilanti, Michigan. He is a good looking 16 year old cat, but last year, the vet found all sorts of old cat problems. He has cataracts, is on thyroid medicine and eating wet food - and that makes him very happy. I want to showcase him for the album for this calendar year's Project 365. What better way than to make him the picture of the day!
My sister's old cat Tina has no problem with identifying the contents of the pots on the table, while eating fish in her house you have to get used to the silent hungry glances from the cat.

I hope I can upload one more photo today and catch up later today-
This old girl (and she is very obviously very old, though we aren't sure HOW old) is one of the regular strays that hangs around. She knows my car, as soon as I drive up she comes hobbling out to see me and meow at me. She just loves the attention and she's a complete sweetheart! :)
She's really not a stray, she has a home, she's just more like....one of our outside cats, really... :)
A little Cape May history. That's our family Cape May house - The Longfellow House - in an 1886 photo. This is house has been in our family since 1851.
The girl in front next to the fence (to the left) is my grandmother's mother (my grandmother would have been 105 years old this this year).
This house is on Hughes Street, Cape May's oldest residential street. Since this photo, the only major change - the house was raised back in the 30s, and we added a kitchen section in the back. This street is home to many wonderful victorian houses, and during climate weather horse and carriage tours clip clop up the street every day. Very cool stuff and we are quite fortunate.

Eighteen and a half year ago my best friend was born - happy birthday to Maksio! Long live the king! :)

He preferred the lavatory to a regular cat bed. This was taken about '95. This is the oldest photo I have of Blueboy. He was about 10-11 years old
Rupert lived an amazing 21 years. This photo was taken during his last year of life. I loved Rupert so very much and he loved me. He vocalized a lot and was quite a poeple cat. He loved attention had no trouble getting it. He could fetch like a dog and yet he hated dogs. Notice one ears is half-missing. He lost it in a cat fight when he was young. He was always in cat fights until he mellowed out in his middle years. In the last few years of his life, I started calling him Old Man. I'll never have another companion like Rupert. He was one in a million.
And eating ravenously. He seems to be fine, but he's missed me badly, so he keeps rubbing around my legs and meowing. He's jumped into my lap a few times. Plainly, he's glad to be home. The vet sent some antibiotic ointment, that I must apply twice daily.
My kitty is getting too old to take care of herself on her own as she's 15 yo now, which means 76 yo in human age! So my family and I are trying to take care of her as much as we can. :)
I'm currently trying to follow an old advice I've been told by someone some months ago, which was taking more pictures of my regular and daily life, so here is it! Just trying!
SOOC-crop.
rest in peace bob and jake. hope you found each other and you're snuggling again.
bob the cat was adopted 14 years ago from the hamilton spca in hamilton, ontario, canada.
he was marked for euthanasia, but i just couldn't let that happen to him. he was just a little kitten at the time. for all his 14 years he was a wonderful companion to me, and to jake and to all the other animals in my home. thanks for being a great cat bob. i miss you very much.
sweet jake...at my side for sixteen years. my constant companion through it all. a fast friend to everyone you met...human and otherwise. sleep well my little man. there will never be another dog like you, and my heart will never be the same...
... to let the sun shine on every part of her body whenever there's a sunny break ... but she also knows there is nowhere it feels better than on her old back. Ahhh!
Sally is an old lady who is at peace with the world. In human equivalent years, she's 72 years old. So am I.
This is how she says hello.

Search my electric soul for the hidden man within” - Miracle of Sound
I have a problem, and I think anyone that's played through Deus Ex: Human Revolution can understand. I just can't get enough of that sweet, sweet black and gold. This board is a bit of a mash-up of both cyberpunk and retro tech and I couldn't love it any more.
The Space65: Cybervoyager; what can I say? I had seen the original Space65 doing the rounds, and found it wasn't doing too much for me, but I saw the Cybervoyager drop earlier this year, I knew what I was treating my self for my birthday. I didn't quite know what I wanted to do with the board theme wise, so I went black for the case colour, and got a couple of varieties for the badge and accent colours; the gold was a shoe in, and the grey and e-white were just come options to go with whatever I needed them to. I'm not much of a fan of RGB, but the shine-through on the badge, and the diffuser really add a nice bit of spice to the board, this is about as tasteful as I could ever want RGB to be.
These switches were a long time coming. I had come to love the Gateron Black Inks from a previous build, and with the silencing options offered with the Cybervoyager, I really wanted to make the quietest board that I could; enter the Gateron Silent Black Inks. To further build on the quiet nature of the switches, I added some lube, and switch films to shore up the tightness of the switches, and sound profile. I opted for the stock springs in these as I already have a number of boards with heavy (80g-180g) springs so going for the slightly lighter 70g weight is already quite a novelty. I really dig how light they feel, as you glide across the board, even the bottom-out is pretty subdued (as it should be), and sounds almost like a pitter-patter of rain on an insulated tin roof.
As for the plate, I really love the look of the carbon fibre plate, and with it being one of the firmer options in the market for plate materials, it really helps keep the smooth linear action of the switches consistent, and sharp; that and the carbon fibre pattern looks super slick The smokey coloured Durock stabs are an absolute treat also. Not only do the housings match the look of the Black Inks, but the gold stab wire adds a nice bit of colour to the inside of the case. Nothing new as far as lubing them went, but I was curious to try out the 'Band-aid' mods. Basically, there's a small pad of fabric (more often or not a plaster, hence the name) placed under the stabiliser, helping to cushion the sound and feel ever so slightly. I hadn't been keen to try it prior because I really like the feel and sound of the plastic on PCB, but I am pleasantly surprised by the final result here. During the group buy, the kit had noise and vibration foam pads in it. The noise pad is designed to sit between the circuit board and plate and help trap the noise inside of the case, and the vibration pad sits in the bottom of the case to reduce any vibration between the circuit board and the inside of the case. All in all, both pads do a fantastic job, and the board has a really solid feel and sound to it which can be attributed by all the different aspects of the build.
As I said earlier, the board was sort of supposed to be a one colour fits all, with a primary focus on the black and gold theme. I have already used the MT3 Serkia set and fell in love with the shape of the profile, and look of the keycaps, and mashing it up with the grey/off-white alphas from MT3 Susuwatari as a thought that I had only briefly entertained. Now, having seen them side by side, I couldn't see anything matching it better; unless I get my hands on a more gold-than-yellow and on black keyset. The Suswatari set was supposed to by my first MT3 set, but it took more that 18 months to go through the process of making the moulds, and matching the colours from the designer. In some ways the massive delays that the set saw were a blessing in disguise, as my expectations of the set had dropped so much. But when I saw it in person for the first time, I couldn't have been more pleased with the final result. The Susuwatari colourway was inspired by Studio Ghibli, and while I'm not well versed in their movies, the warm tones, and retro colours really sung out to me; that's where red accents come from along with the cat novelty. The artisans were from my collection that I felt help add some more depth and matched the overall theme pretty well, and the EMP is just there for fun.
The cable was what I got when I first branched into the world of detachable USB cables, and it was only supposed to be a colour that went well with anything. After a while, I realised just how much I dig the black and gold combo. So in a way it was the cable the sort of sparked the whole build
Well I think that's another one chalked up for the 'endgame', and I can't wait to see what changes might happen with it in the future, just don't go looking for the “/?” key...
