The Coffee House

Hey hosers. I made chai from scratch today. An awesome blend of black pepper, ground cardamom, ginger, clove, nutmeg and cinnamon. That's the masala part. I used a blend of half milk, half water, and loose leaf black tea with only a quarter teaspoon of the masala blend, steeped in a saucepan for a few minutes and strained into my cup. It was soooo good.

Exhausting day, but worth it. Today was our spring BBQ at the Fire Department. We hold two per year as our major fund raisers. Think giant block party, as friends and neighbors from all over the district (60 square miles) turn out to eat and socialize. Had a few new babies on display, a few that aren't babies anymore, and sadly a few whose passing left a hole in our hearts.

If I recall Michael ... you cashed a check I sent you a long time ago and I have yet to received my Nikon F pentaprism in return. Shouldn't you be taking care of your debts before buying more stuff?

I guess it is time for you to disappear again.

I did, and I'll own up to it. Hence why I offered to PayPal it to you, and will be mailing it instead.

In all fairness, I did receive a FREE Rolleiflex that I traded for the GX.

Perhaps you gentlemen can take your dispute to PM, rather than air your grievances in the Coffee House. It simply isn't done.

Sounds delicious. I think I need to give that shot.

Star Trek. Amazing what they could do back then.

Just noticed in Thursday’s New York Times, that Lawrence Krauss, the physicist who wrote “The Physics of Star Trek,” has been suspended from Arizona State University while they investigate a story on Buzzfeed alleging inappropriate behavior. ASU says no complaints were ever made to them, but he was still banned from campus while they look into the matter.
Beam me up, Scotty. We’ll look for intelligent life elsewhere.

But film is all but dead.

It's mostly amateurs and artists now. Cherish that!

I am both.

Let's hope the last group wasn't on display.

Hmph. Spring forward. I only have approximately 26 watches to fix.
And since I lose an hour I say good night and have a great Sunday.

It was so easy, I wondered what took me so long to give it a go! I guess I was intimidated by the list of spices and clueless on how to get the proportions right. Came across a good article and recipe, and was very happy sipping the first batch.

Time to toss the chai in teabags.

Nope just memories. I'm not sure if municipal departments develop the same closeness with those they serve that rural volunteer departments do. The members, thier families, neighbors, church members they all become an extended family of sorts

Cold Pizza for lunch. Not usually a formal dinner on Saturday. And that's all I got.
Film camera Canon EOS650. But film is all but dead.

Not completely dead. There's been a bit of a revival, if what I read is correct. Didn't know you had one of these. How do you like it? Any tips?

Just found one at a thrift store. Haven't shot film in years, but thought it would be nice to use some of the lenses I already own. And an excuse to get a couple others.

 

[davidharmier60]

I shot mostly Airshows. The EOS650 was a fantastic upgrade from an AE-1 with a power winder. It automatically reads and sets ISO. That might irritate some. But as I recall it was pretty easy to overcome and add or subtract a stop or two. If you find one for a good price I'd say grab it.

Most of their business was instant cameras, and the market for that is DEAD.

Au contraire. Fuji Instax is pretty hot these days. And Impossible Project just bought the rights to Polaroid (name and I think equipment, though not formulas) and keeps producing updated products under that name.
