Very cool

 

I sort of needed a small part of my dad in the new kitchen. We redid the kitchen 25 years ago together. I missed him a lot when we had the kitchen done this past winter.

 

That would make it difficult

 

Very cool.

 

Happy to hear your back is doing better. Slow and steady

I have my dad's kitchen table to add to my kitchen and the buffet he made Always good to have a piece of the 'rents

evening folks

Stump #3 about 3/4 or a little more dug out... hind sight is 20/20 when it comes to putting it that close to the fence

 

LOTS of upper body work... good thing the girls behaved on our walk... shoulders are a little stiff tonight.

How's tonight?

 

Do the shots seem to be working? You think they are worth it?

Yup!!! finish this one and one more... Sure hope the last one isn't as big a pain as this one is.... Lots of roots in one area, making digging a pain in the butt. But, this too shall pass (even if I have to get some charcoal and a couple bottles of lighter fluid!!!)

 

I can see it now...Susan running around the yard watching little puffs of smoke and fire shooting out of her yard in random spots lol

 

but the stump and roots will be gone!!!

How's it going B?

 

It's going excellent , well mostly lol. Dealing with a very difficult customer, lots of emails and texts to the boss to cover my butt. I'm good but she's trying to find everything to nail me to a wall

How are you?

 

There are difficult people everywhere - I'm special don't cha know?!?!!?

I"m good. Still busy at work, but that should end mid - late July. I should be caught up by then... then boredom Oh, well...

 

That's exactky the attitude she has.. We are doing this work for free and she's finding everything to complain about

 

Most people getting stuff done for free are more appreciative of the work being done... Just grin and say "yes, ma'am" and keep thinking to yourself... this job will be done soooooon!!!

 

I'll have it done tomorrow, no doubt about that. I'm getting the heck out of there lol

Yup I do everything in email and text. No chance of the customer manipulating conversations

 

Looks like fun. I wish the camper was done so we could go camping already...

Yep, we got a ton of rain that day.

Camera is working fairly great. The weird thing is playing with all of the extra settings, like close up, portrait, landscape, etc. I feel like just setting it to auto does a better job at what that specific setting was supposed to do. The one I do find useful is sports. It sets the shutter speed lower than auto usually does (1/1000, while auto usually does 1/250) and burst mode is automatically on. Other than that I am still learning about some of the manual settings.

 

That last tip was how I learned where to put the shutter speed when messing around on shutter priority. haha I tried taking some pics with really fast and really slow shutter speeds that turned out horrible.

I'll have to look for the bracketing feature.
