Damn... those big Gra Lab timers are nice. I miss mine!

Great snag JC! Maybe I need to start checking the thrift stores.

Yup, $5 for the timer, plugged in and it works, $2 for the tank, never used with instructions, warranty card, and adverts for their chemicals. They also had a working on scope that I could use to measure shutter times, $50. I would snag it it but don't plan on fixing cameras.

This week it is predicted to be a heat

Phhhfffttt! When the temperature AND the humidity top 95, then I'll sympathize

... Gary suspects he'll never get your sympathy.

Okay big guy, dump the developing tank ... keep the timer.

Lol, yup....the tank is poo poo, I failed to inspect it closely.... poop. Lol.

Well it's 7:27 p.m., it's still 91 degrees outside and a big ole' thunderstorm is about to roll through town. 70 mph winds, golf ball size hail, torrential rain, the typical flat lands thunderstorm. Hatches are battened down and the wife is on the road to Chicago for the weekend. Two cats and one dog are pertnear dead asleep, and the other dog would be watching the weather channel with a frown on her face if she could operate the remote. She hates thunder and fireworks.

Get out and shoot!

Well they say the wind is up to 90mph. The leading edge is past us, but the storm is moving from NW to SE which is unusual for us. Lots of rain, wind, limbs down in some places. Typical Kansas weather.

No problem, get out there.

Nice mild night. Backyard view, cell phone

Got to love it. Went from 91 to 63 in less than 5 minutes. When storms roll across the plains they roll.

What's wrong with the tank? And the scope what?? lol You got my attention!! I have a Gra Lab timer, so far in darkroom equipment I mostly have trays & tongs and a wonderful Kodak squeegee for prints etc. I've used for alt processes.

The update so far on the young man just sent back from N. Korea is that originally it was said he'd had botulism/food poisoning and they gave him a sleeping pill and he never work up. There was a press conference today with the doctors and he has neurological damage with significant brain tissue loss. They said it's usually the type thing seen in someone who's had cardio pulmonary arrest with an inadequate blood supply to the brain for a long period of time. It's just, I don't know, so inhumane to have kept him over there this long; seeing on the news him coming back to the airport that night, the dad spoke at his high school today, just brought tears to my eyes.

Anyway, I've actually been kind of watching some baseball tonight, the Congressional game, which has been pretty cool. I'd usually be watching a Caps hockey game!
