Evening, Gents! Hope everyone's had a good weekend. Well, tomorrow's Monday and that means the new guy is starting at work. Yay! (that's dripping with sarcasm) This is going to be interesting, because...nope! Not going there. Anyways! Had a good weekend. Got some cleaning and organizing done, not a lot, but started it. Got up this morning and decided to go down to the town dock for some early morning photography. Missed sunrise by like an hour, but had fun. I've been at it for a few years now, so consider myself an advanced amateur. I don't have a lot of people calling me for photography gigs right now, still establishing myself, not that that kind of stuff is happening right now anyways, so I head out for practice when I can. Portraits are more my thing, but I do like landscape photography, so I practice when I get the chance. So I'm taking the time to really hone in on my photography skills and get some practicing in. These aren't much, but here's some pictures I took yesterday and today. Hope you enjoy. Have a good evening and we'll chat tomorrow.

Early morning at about 6am. Picture unedited. Nice houses...not a bad way to wake up, huh?
Edited slightly using Lightroom
This is in my neighborhood. Took this one to practice taking pictures of shade and sun...though the sun dipped behind a cloud just as I was taking this picture. Nothing spectacular about this image, more for practice than anything.
My uncle's a retired engineer from the state highway dept. of New Mexico, and he has enough common sense for 2 dozen people. He's told me stories that makes me shake my head. And his response has always been, "I know." But that's the government for you.
I can't stand liquor, so it's beer for me. I got seriously drunk once in the Navy, ok, it may have been more than once, and it involved a lot of brandy. And I mean, to the point that it went from shots of brandy to full-blown glasses of brandy...and this was on top of several beers, both American and Japanese, two tequila's and beer chasers at a Mexican restaurant in Japan (don't ask, I honestly don't remember the food), and two Black Russians. I swore off liquor at that point. I hurt just thinking about it.
Now I see why your boss asked you to clean out your office. Might as well since you won't be back. Well, an early congratulations on retirement. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

'Morning all...
I'll be spending the day disassembling the interior of one of our cars to try and stop water from pooling on the passenger side floor. I rather like the vehicle in particular, but I'm at a loss as to understanding who thought it'd be a good idea to have the sun-roof drains running through the interior side of the A-Pillar.
I deal with Local Goverment, generally for planning applications, and some of them are a funny bunch. A little power or a little knowledge are equally dangerous things. When they are combined, they are compounded.

I'm into tequila right now. Literally. I really like bourbon, but outside of Pappy van Winkle, I can't drink bourbon like I can drink tequila.

Pizza party sounds great!!! I'm back to working from home, and my retirement date from that job is August 31. I still have a two week vacation to WDW scheduled and a month of sick time to burn. My boss asked me to clean out my office. So, we won't be returning to work until after Sept 1.
