Not looking for romance, don't need to get richer, already married to a beautiful Asian woman.
Pinned
Given the profile photos of my many new followers today, let me say up front that I am already well provided with beautiful Asian women with large tracts of land. I'm looking for love, free money, and investment advice in roughly the same levels as my cat is looking to be baptized.
Went for a gratitude walk this morning, to see what cool things were in the world around me. Was not prepped for this level of cool. I'm not using a camera with a good wildlife lens. This is from my cell phone. She is in a no hunting zone and she knows it.

We were under heavy cloud for last night's aurora, but tonight we have clear skies. Shooting what I hope is star trails with the aurora.
Last time I was out here to shoot star trails I left shake reduction on, and the stars looked like they should switch to decaf.

Out here doing some night sky photography, and there's a massive buck somewhere on the other side of the road snorting at me.
If you don't hear from me, know that I died by venison.

Folks who own cameras, what are some challenges you face that you'd like help with?
I'm trying to put together an ebook and class to help the beginning photographer figure out how to use their cameras. Please share this post so I can get more feedback.

Even if there had been children attacking them, there are at least two things the military is unlikely to admit:
1. We were beaten by children.
2. We beat children.

While the world is full of outrage, it is also full of whimsey. This morning somebody's lawn inflatable became a hot air balloon and went flying over Dexter, MI. Many of us were very confused on our morning walks.

The tipping point for getting a 3D printer was the ability to quickly design display fixtures like this picture frame stand. We have a pop up market Saturday and can't use our regular display. This lets me put small framed prints on a stand on a table.

One of the great joys of summer is taking my morning coffee outside with the cat. It's very important to her, but she expresses that importance by sitting around the corner of the house from me.
If I go in she'll want back in the house.

Inventory sheet going into this show said I had two of these photos. We've sold three so far. This is either an inventory tracking problem or Max Bialistok level marketing.

Got a selfie with The Mayor, aka Lenny. He lives around the corner, so I don't see him that often. But back in June he spent the day with me while I did some woodworking in the garage. Lenny and I are buds now, and he makes the trek down the street to see me if I'm out.

Posting some cool things, because I spent the last three days at an art fair battling high heat and severe weather. And the whackadoodles. Three street corner preachers with portable amplifiers, and one guy with a beef against veterinarians. He had a sandwich board, for extra crazy.

It's true that we are governed by the whims of morons and megalomaniacs, but this has always been true. The secret to not giving in to despair is to seek out the things that are good in the world. This morning it was cool flowers, especially the ones with exciting bugs.

I would have loved to convert my Tacoma to an electric.
Nice one! Frustrated by the lack of a good fully-electric ute on the market, Mike Casey has made one anyway.
"So I found a really good, old Hilux ...We took an old Nissan Leaf motor and basically slotted it into the gearbox of the Hilux ... then put a battery box under the tray."

Y'all ever run into someone who just seems determined to be a loser? I'm not talking about people with shit luck or a rough start in life. I mean folks who can't imagine that something good could happen in their life. Even suggesting that people can have any effect on their own life makes them mad.
