I felt it was time for another writing about my use of large format cameras. I realized it had been a while since my last writing on it. Last time was about why I enjoy shooting with a large format camera, and today I am going to talk about the equipment I use when I…

My Girls Got Baptized Today
I was going to post today about my car, but I didn’t have enough oil to fill it up, and something more important happened today anyways. My girls got baptized at church this morning. For those of you that don’t know that means they made a public confession of THEIR faith (not their parent’s faith)…
Recent Motorcycle Stuff
In today’s what has been going on post I decided to talk about a positive (that started with a negative) about motorcycle work. About a week and a half ago my wife came in from the garage and told me my motorcycle had a puddle of oil under it. I thought, WHAT? So, out I…
The 2024 Primary in the US
This is a wonderful year where the US gets to vote for president. The truth is I am not looking forward to it at all. I have been working on a blog about voting in general and it isn’t done, and I think I will post it closer to the actual election for president when…
National Parks (and Monuments)
I really enjoy going to National Parks. I have been to a lot of them. Most, if not all, have been with my wife and family. This is totally tied to the fact that my wife loves to travel, and I enjoy the outdoors (to a point). I have been to a lot of them…
Sledding, and the most interesting woman in the world

Girl Scout Cookies!
So it is that time of year when my 2 wonderful daughters sell girl scout cookies. They work so hard to sell cookies. They walk the neighborhood, the setup a table at our nearest major intersection, they do troop booths, and they talk to their teachers (both school and dance). This is all to sell…
One of My Personal Fears
I don’t fear much in life. I have mentioned before that I have lived a very blessed life, and that is one reason I don’t have much fear. I also know that God is watching over me and is with me all the time. As a result I don’t tend to live in fear of…
Skiing today
Today I got to go skiing for the first time this season. I was up at Sunrise Ski Park outside Greer. I got there early as usual, and was able to get my new RFID ticket, and also get on the slopes right away once they opened. Here is a shot from the beginning of…
I got it out – and a visitor
We got the car out. After about an hour of work I got the car out. I had to do a bunch of digging out under the car and under the tires. I also had to use a screwdriver to knock ice out from under the tired (somewhat), and then I stuck boards under tires…
