My Scenery

                            Scenery doesn't look like much because of the drought.
                         Drab browns and grays are the palette colors instead of green.

                                        The pile of dirt with a tractor on top is new.

 

                   Compare that picture with this one and see how much they can do in a week.
                                               This picture is from one week later.

My Candy

                                                     This candy is good.
                                   You probably can't find any of these where you are.

My Start Screen

This page will be my new start screen. Has text only. Pictures take forever to load during start up.

                                                                           Have to fix it myself.

My Clothes Dryer

My clothes dryer has been "marking" my clothes.

The problem has been getting worse lately.

I decided to disassemble the clothes dryer to see

what the problem was, and

if it could be repaired.

I found some buttons.

Lots of buttons.

That explains where my buttons have been going.

Next I found ten years worth of lint.

The clothes dryer will probably work a lot better

Without this brick of lint clogging up the air flow.

What could have sheared off all these buttons?

Perhaps it was the edge of this big hole.

I had found this weird item in the laundry some time ago.

More than a year ago.

At the time I had no idea of:

What this item was,

Where it had come from, and

Why it magically appeared in my laundry.

It certainly is lucky that I didn't throw this thing away

Even though I didn't know what it was.

I tend to save things like that,

in case I might be able to solve the mystery later on.

It fits perfectly in the hole!

Mystery solved.

Clothes dryer repaired.

My Dirty Job

                                    The city father have decided to leave the
                                          street sweeping duties to the local
                                                        homeowner
                                               because of budget constraints
                                     so take a little pride in your neighborhood.

                                                I know it's a dirty job

                                                Someone has to do it!

                                               Whoa oh ohoh oh!

                                                          I did my civic duty.
                                    Now I have a few blisters.  Need a better broom.
                                                 Something with a bigger handle.
                                                            This one is too small.

Lost And Found

                          I have been finding some unusual items on the sidwalk lately:
                                         A sheared-off bolt which is rather large,
                            and a few smaller nuts which might have fit the small bolt
                                                          once upon a time.
                             A sunglass lens which was in the street, though not broken.
                                                  A control switch legend tag.
                                                     The innards of a PDA.
                                  And an item which I would call a carabiner for chains.
