The Coffee House

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.

I meant to say one time use cameras. You're right.

I did grab it. Under 10.00.

Still have my AE-1. Sadly the shutter is now sticking from lack of use. Was looking at the Elan series, but those are really holding their value.

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.

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

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.

Gary has been playing with this idea for a while as he purchases a lot of mixed teas. Most of the ingredients in the teas Gary buys are grow in his yard.

Do you have a preference of film camera?

I think the F, only for the 100% viewfinder. I'm working the shutter on this FM today. Next up is the Canon AE1. I had a difficult day with the 100mm e.

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.

That is messed up.

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.

Fair to who, you? Pay the guy back. That is bush league on your part. Gary is a great dude and doesn't deserve that. W

Ok. We shouldn't be hashing this out here. I never meant to screw the guy. I had a laptop quit on me, then when I did get it working work got so intense that I disappeared for quite some time, even abandoning photography entirely. Now, I'm back, and have the ability to pay Gary back. I looked in my inbox and there it was, so I'll take care of it and make it right.

Ok. Now that we're done with that, we should carry on.

Indeed. Please let the involved parties work this out privately.

Morning. Turned on the news and they're talking about a nor'easter hitting Tuesday. 5 to 9 inches expected. I should have stayed in bed.

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

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

Ours do (both Fire/EMS and Law Enforcement), and it spans generations.

I'm glad to hear that. Only about 60 percent of our operating budget is funded, so we are fortunate that the residents support us as they do. The only real problem we face is the constant turnover. We are strictly volunteer, no pay involved. Most who join have no idea of the time commitment involved, and quickly tire of it.

The new glasses. Not sure if I like them.

 

[davidharmier60]

They look ok. My shortest (bottom ) of my Tri-focals need to be stronger. That's why an 8 power loupe stays nearby.
3.25 hours today. Shopped for my Sister before leaving the store.
No big plans for the day.
About to have cereal.

I don't think they look bad (from the man with little fashion sense LOL). Conservative but not frumpy.
