Never Mind The Sand

Ok, yeah it really need to start updating around here better.  Looks like the newer versions of WP have some better facebook/twitter and most importantly smugmug interfaces…so I may actually start updating this more often again soon.
In the meantime rather than post about my own CBG I’ve been building…which I really should do.  I’m going [...]

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 [...]

So there’s a locally owned chain of gas stations here in Yuma who offer a cash discount.  Overall this seems to be a very popular offering based on the comments I hear around town and see in the letters to the editor of the local paper.

The marines in town are having their “annual” (they started doing it more than once a year awhile back) training exercises here in town right now. At my old house it was a real blast, they’d land at a school two blocks away – but the approach they took came directly over my roof. [...]

Think of this as a continuation of yesterdays update. First off the dishwasher did well with the little red doodad finally liberated.

The fridge is now at a safe temp – but it’s cranked all the way up to do it so we are going to have to have it looked at…but it can hold [...]

I’ve had a nasty virus the past week. Saw the doctor on thursday and he gave me some cough medicine that really does a number on me. It does a great job at what it’s supposed to, manages my coughing and dries up the mucus like nothing else. But it leaves me [...]

I’ve been posting bits of my life online for a long time. I’ve thought about starting a blog many times over but never quite followed through. I maintained my personal website for a few years…until I ran out of space on the host and things just sort of froze. The next few [...]
