My hip aches so bad today, did yesterday too although it eased up as the day went on but two days in a row of waking up with cramps and just couldn't get comfortable. Kinda forgot after the stroke I had this like every damn night! lol I hope it's the damp and it eases up, maybe I'll just keep the AC on tonight and see if that helps. Or I'll just moan and groan and complain to you people!

Complain all you need to, sister! It sounds painful. Has anyone given you any PT, or recommended any yoga? Some of the yogic hip openers can help.

Sorry. Anything you can do or take? Something bring it on?

@jcdeboever , safe travels.

Thanks bud, so far, so good. I'm at the pickle park now eating my lunch. Raining, gloomy.

@limr..... Lookie at what I got today for $20.00.... yeah baby. Other than the leather, looks to be in good order. Hard to say until I get a pack of film in it.

I got me one of them! Actually, I have 2 SX-70 cameras, but one of them was the *cheap* model of the day and didn't have this fancy covering, which now looks about as nice as this one does. Dry rot or some icky kind of decay.

Pop it open, clean those rollers, bay-bay!!! Pretty sure you can make it workable, look here.

Running a quick errand today and saw a lemonade stand to benefit victims of Harvey in Houston. The mom said the kids had raised over $400 today just with people stopping when they saw their sign.

Nice!!

My suggestion is to also get yourself a frog tongue for that thing. Polaroid camera film shield for folding-type cameras

Impossible Project film is crazy sensitive to light exposure and it's really important to keep it shielded from light while it processes (takes 30-45 minutes). No matter how fast you are grabbing that print after it shoots out of the camera, the damage has been done. I even go as far as to turn the camera towards me and bring it close, so that when I take the print out of the camera, it can be immediately pressed against my body to keep it shielded and then slipped into a pocket or camera bag.

One of the churches I drove by this afternoon had huge stacks of clothes, towels, and shoes they were getting ready to package up for Houston.

That kind of stuff is great. Usually, I just give the kids a few bucks and keep going.

@SquarePeg Not sure if it was the same one but on the national news this evening there was a little boy selling lemonade to help the TX victims. Didn't catch the location but I thought it was NE. His family had recently moved from TX. The kid was in a cowboy hat and a Superman cape. To cute.

Now folks, don't get this twisted. If it were my kids, I would teach them to do something good for someone and don't tell anyone and they may have not. Just saying.

I haven't seen anything around here for Houston/Corpus Christy but I haven't had time to look, today.

I am contemplating a jaunt to the Dark Side . . . GIS boss brought this in for me to look at. It's his wife's so he can't negotiate but he told me to bring it home and look over it. I've loaded a 24 exposure roll of Fujifilm XTRA 400 to see how it performs. Batteries are dead so there's no meter but I can around that.
