Yay!

Well it should get interesting (and probably a bit slower) next month . . . the Deputy Fire Chief that hired me as a GIS Intern, and our biggest customer (19 out of 24 map projects this year) is retiring.

Who is his replacement? Get your name in front of him/her. Let him/her know that you are the one to go to?

Understanding that it is a 10MP APS-C and I have a LOT to learn about it.... and don't have a computer with which to post pics....
I'll see what I can do.

Gary had Willie, his handyman, come over yesterday for a quote on his leaky patio roof. Gary has been applying bandage after bandage on the sucker, but has yet to find the source of the leak

Gary many, many years ago, our office building was constant problem with leaks. The zero pitch and the built up roof had seen it's better days. A friend recommended this company Commercial Roofing System - Single Ply PVC Roofing Company | Duro-Last Roofing, Inc. it has performed great. 20 years and still going strong. It worked so well that we had them install the same thing on our screened deck roof. Again no more problems. I know back then it was expensive, but it has been well worth the price.

Thanks for the tip. But it is only for the patio. Torching a new membrane down it the trick. The roof is slanted coming off the house ... and that's it, no pitches or angles. Easy-Pezy.

Howdy Hosers! Been a busy couple of days for us. Just back from the hospital for xrays for Princess's thumb which she bent back playing softball yesterday and was swollen and bruised this morning. No fracture, just a bad sprain. Of course try-outs for the HS team are in less than 2 weeks and it's her throwing hand... Hopefully will not be an issue by then. If it were today should would not be able to swing a bat or throw a ball...

Getting through the last of the photos I took of the softball team up in Maine on Saturday. I culled it down to about 150 photos. Want to get this done and off my plate by tomorrow night. I don't know how the pros do it with hundreds of photos, thousands maybe, per wedding. It's exhausting for me to have "work" that is not done and just sitting there waiting for me. It stresses me out. It certainly says a lot about choosing your shot and getting it right in camera and not having a lot of post work to do!

Been a busy day for me. Winds finally settled down enough to repair the roof of the tractor shed at work that was damaged during Fridays' storm. Then had to get some spare ladders moved out of the shop, crated, and moved into storage. Finish repairing the snow blower, drop the loader off the tractor and attach the blower for the storm tomorrow.

Back ... It has been a wonderful day. In the 70’s and Mary Lou and Gary dropped the top and moseyed down to Seal Beach for a pleasant lunch and a walk on the pier. Then we cruised down Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) to Huntington Beach. The weather was extremely clear and we felt like we could reach out and touch Catalina Island from one side of the car and also touch the snow capped San Gabriel Mountains from the other side.

Wasn't as bad as predicted. I got about 6 inches of snow. Other areas were worse. But it didn't end until around 2 PM today. The temps were in the low 30s, so it's heavy and wet. Luckily the big blower moved it. The little one wouldn't touch it. Yes, I own two snow blowers. For very good reasons.

Driving wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Winds died down. DOT did a good job this time. Unlike previous storms. Seems like it takes them half the winter to get their act together. Made it home in one piece. Spent about 2 1/2 hours cleaning my place up and several elderly neighbors. Some chose to leave it. Supposed to drop down to 10 degrees tonight. Rock solid by morning. Might regret that decision.

I'm really hoping the old March saying is true. "In like a lion, out like a lamb." Getting too old for this crap.

Hey hosers.

Got power back around 11 am. Hopefully we didn't get it back just in time to lose it again tomorrow. School has already closed in anticipation of tomorrow's storm.
