The first official cookout of summer is on the first official day of summer.

Apparently we have chickens in our neighborhood now.
From the parking lot at Lowell General Hospital early this morning. I was just there for blood work ahead of a check up next week but I couldn’t resist. Best bumper sticker ever?
Rush fans get the significance.

Photo a day number 289 of 365.
This also marks 2112 days in a row with a post in this blog.
I think I want today to be the last day for both projects.
Today is fathers day in the united states. If you are a dad or if you are someone who plays the dad role in your family, then happy fathers day.
This year is the first fathers day we’ve had since my father passed away. Jen and Bellana went to the grave with me. I am so grateful to them for that gesture. It means so much. I miss my father quite a bit, and I miss him a little extra today.
Lily seems pleased that we are home.

That camera I bought on ebay a couple of weeks ago? The Nikon F-401? The camera with the autofocus that was going to make my film shooting life so much easier?
The aperture dial doesn’t work. It just spins, it doesn’t click. It doesn’t actually affect the lens’ aperture at all. Not even a teeny tiny bit. If you try to use the aperture ring instead of the dial as a work around? The camera doesn’t fire.
Failure. Total. The lens is nice though so I probably won’t send it back. Anyone know any place that fixes cameras?
Want to know the scariest thing in the world?
A passenger on a plane sitting next to you is holding….
A ukulele.
The horror… the horror…. The horror…
