Had a big (7.2) earthquake only 55 miles away yesterday. That’s been followed by a host of aftershocks…and today 40MPH winds.
My rear fence is really hurting again. I don’t expect the older tarp to last the night on the carport.
Checking the live map now it looks like it’s up to 533.

Amy Pictures
Took Amy to the west wetlands and the gateway park for some photos. Unfortunately the new camera and I did not communicate with each other well. The last shot was the only one I was close to happy with (and even then I’m not big on the composition and it’s not what I thought it was.)
Oh well, [...]
Time for a new window

CBG #2
Ok, so I promised a write up about building my second Cigar Box Guitar. I have a feeling it’s going to go a bit long so I may have to split it up into a couple of updates. But hey, at least that will give me an excuse to keep updates coming for [...]

In the meantime rather than post about my own CBG I’ve been building…which I really should do. I’m going [...]
Well crud…
Looks like my camera repair didn’t go so hot after all. For some reason the shutter in the lenses isn’t actually closing after the appropriate amount of time when used on that camera So there is a deeper problem.
Oh. And I know that both nevermindthesand.com and blog.dunephotos.com are having problems getting here right [...]
New Skill
Ok, I know I’ve promised a couple of people a weekend update. It’s going to be a bit longer…it’s really not worth the wait…but I don’t have ANY photos to go with it. And since the whole point of the weekend was photography that just doesn’t seem right. The chemicals are cooling right now so [...]
Oh yeah
Almost forgot. I also made my first attempt at a lattice top pie today:
I think it’s cooled now…and Amy just got home from work with dinner and some ice cream to go with it My first attempt at a lattice (could have used one more strip in the one direction) and my first [...]
