Well... Been awhile since I popped in I see...
Good work getting the camera through the boer wars. On to Waltzing Matildaland.
Since I have been here I have...
Hiked the Grand Canyon in June with my daughter and niece, rim to rim in 45C temperatures.
Learned how to etch glass with silicon carbide
Acquired a number of possessions from people who have passed away around me, such as a LaMond carbon fiber bicycle, a freezer for my garage, a rather nice SV tripod, and oh yes.. a Rollicord. Unfortunately, no one left me several hundred thousand dollars to allow me to retire.
I am planning another work trip to Aachen in a couple of weeks. No chance to visit Ireland I am afraid but there is a possibility in October!
I learned how to make killer rye bread.
And I am allergic to shrimp.
Life sucks.
Anyway, I await the day the camera comes to Northern California. Lots of chicken being sacrificed on the altar/pyre of the weber grill.
