Listen and Learn

It was a dark and storm...no.. done that... It was a sneaky and somewhat nice Sunday day. Mothers day by the way.. Yes I did call my Mother... did you if you could? Well good. So then...


A quick clean up of a very old and very small picture. It could have been toned out but I wanted to clean up the image without losing all the age.

I spent this day thinking about what opportunities I missed this morning not going out ballooning. See the winds were on the iffy side and blowing straight for the Pueblo.. so I expected that no one would really fly.. but some did.. and it looked kinda okay. Not for what I wanted to do but better than I thought... So I didn't go out.. Sucks but hay.. balloons... . I did go over to Youtube and watch a bunch of how to and review videos.. These guys I watch from time to time are pretty funny if a little goofy and they do have some good information if not a little skewed now and then... Also mind the language.....but they are good at getting information across..

Funny how the contradict themselves.. yes.. even if they are cliche shots you should still try them out... new perspective on old types of shots... its all about your choice...

Yeah.. and some funny stuff...

Izzy snoozing on my lap. Taken with my Samsung phone cam. Nice detail here. She is always fine with staying in place while I try getting a good pic of her.


I found out that Fallout 4 is due out some time... and I have gotten bored of Borderlands after getting done with the Pirate Booty thing... So I downloaded Fallout 3 New Vegas as my disc seems to have dissapeared....

While waiting for that to dump I played around with container floor plans. This is a basic. Positional. It could be much more compact but I wanted to see if I could fit in a king sized bed, a full sized jacuzzi tub and some serious storage. It worked. Pretty cool. I even figured out an end main metal door closing apparatus so that at night or when you leave you can lever the doors closed and locked remotely. Interior glass doors on the ends. Fun while I wait for the download to finish.

Saw this on Imgur... very funny.. had to repost... If you have played Fallout you will completely understand the references. Downloaded and played enough to create a character and kill a few huge geckos then .. yawn...

I have my xbox linked into the same monitor I use for my Surface. I can switch back and forth. I had another computer hooked in too but someone wanted to play WOW with it so I had to remove it. Switching between three was a bit crazy anyway. I have used Kensington trackballs since they came out... in that off white with two clunky buttons..Now.. there is a version above this one but I like the ability to scroll with the ring instead of the ball.....and... so very precise.

Then after I stopped playing xbox this popped up on Imgur and it was worth posting too.


A short and funny day of things that do not mesh.

My facebook banner for the day... hard to find the 145 number on the sky dancer... Good luck.

A double layer shot of the sunport sign. This is the old sign too. If I brought out the LEDs then I lost the sky and most of the sign. Had to layer two then blend in each for the best contrast. It came out nicely.

I believe I will have cereal for dinner..... as my fingers go numb from pinky to middle and back.
