This page is here so my
family and friends can see what I've been up to.
It's sort of what I would post on Facebook,
except the entries don't vanish overnight. |

A year later. |
|
|
|
|
| "Alicia" memorizing her lines while
a scene in
Zeroes is being filmed. I saw two guys quit their jobs 27 times while
Alicia was the HR person. The "extras" were confined to a
holding area with me, and when I realized I wasn't an "extra" I
got up and did anything I wanted. Had breakfast, checked out the
equipment, stuck my head in the wardrobe and makeup departments,
watched the scenes being filmed and chatted up the stars. It's
incredible what they do just to get the lighting right.
Thankfully, she washed all that crap off her face before we
left. |
|
|
|
|
| More roof maintenance. This time she
hurt herself. Bruised her ribs reaching for the peak. For her to even
mention it, it must have hurt. |
| |
|
|
| They paved the walking path in Lower
Gwynedd. The asphalt is still hot. |
| |
|
|
| KYW AM1060 antenna. As seen on the way
to visiting Andrea's dad. |
| |
|
|
| Started a battery collection. I need
something to display them in. That red Eveready 9V in the center is my
favorite. |
| |
|
|
Coating the laundry room roof, and
annoyed that her picture has to be taken.
|
|
| OCTOBER |
|
|
|
| The drone. Can take video and still
pictures at the whim of the operator. Will modify it to take out ISIS
positions. |
| |
|
|
| Assembling a digital clock from a kit
(that had no instructions.) |
|
|
| Making the "special" battery holder.
Cardboard tubes and construction paper. |
|
|
| Clockmed the clockmeister. Off to
school to show the teacher, then to see Obama. |
| |
|
|
| Sumneytown Pike, looking south from
route 202. Freshly paved with no traffic. The paving job was a work of
art. |

Actually, it's an ancient part of a horse's bridal, with a big rusted
buckle. |
| |
|
|
| Fixing a leak on the car port. |
| |
|
|
| Swing out back had to come down
because it rotted on the edge. The yard next door looks like a junkyard.
Used to be nice. |
| |
|

This one on Schoolhouse Road. |
| |
