If I could have any ship from Star Wars as a personal ride, I would probably chose an X-Wing. Only because I am not a gear head and I think Millennium Falcon maintenance would likely be beyond me.
X-Wing on film:
X-Wing on digital (with a cameo from BB-8):
This post is just an excuse to post another film shot because I am anxiously awaiting an email saying that the two rolls of film I shipped to the lab last week are done. That’s all this is. Also, X-Wings are cool.
I pulled double duty this morning and it might throw off my whole day.
I went out early for car music, but on my way there I stopped downtown for some film photos. I took my Nikon and Dad’s zoom lens and finished the roll that was in the camera. I went to the dam and our little downtown shopping area and took a few pictures. I did not bring my mirrorless camera, but I did bring my point and shoot, just so I could have something to post here.
The sunlight was really nice for a change. It was a good day to go out.
After a short trip downtown I went to the movie theater parking lot and put vocals on three songs. I could have done two more but my voice was starting to get tired and I wanted to get home for some breakfast and a shower before work.
The one thing I failed to do this morning was my 30 minutes of exercise. I am going to have to get that in a piece at a time throughout the day. I failed to close my exercise ring on Saturday, and I failed to close my move ring (calorie counter) on both Saturday and Sunday. That ends today. No more missing rings, even if I do have a day where I am feeling sick. August starts tomorrow and I want another perfect month.
Until then, here’s the obligatory clock pic.
Check it out, I got a little blurry background with my digital point and shoot. Epic, bro.
What is that blue stuff up in the sky? I haven’t seen anything like that in ages. It’s supposed to be grey and gloomy up in the sky, not blue and beautiful. What’s going on?

This was the scene when I got home from work tonight. Take a load off, Lily.
“Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty, Little Ball of Fur. Happy Kitty, Sleepy Kitty, Purr Purr Purr.”
I worked in this building for a few years starting back in 2004. The view is pretty nice. Today was the first time I had been there since pre-Covid. I wouldn’t mind working in this building again except that we have two buildings that are a bit closer to home. This one is pretty far away.
I snuck out for some more singing in the car this morning. I only had three songs ready to go and I finished all of them. That’s two days in a row. Can you believe it? Now I have to start writing lyrics again. Ugh.
The view from the “studio” today:
Obligatory clock pic from the drive home:
Finally, when I got home I saw this. The fire hydrant in our front yard is in a bag. There is writing on the bag that you can’t see here that says leak detection test, or something like that. Interesting? Maybe. Maybe not.
I put rhythm guitars on three songs today, and lead guitars on two. I went direct, even though it’s not nearly as much fun as using a speaker. Oh well. I could hear Jen talking on the phone upstairs when I started playing and I didn’t want to disturb her. I figured I’d be a nice guy and keep things quiet.
Oil changed, inspection sticker acquired, groceries purchased, and a bunch of Power Ball quick picks snagged. Now what? Music? Probably lunch first. Maybe a Doctor Who or two.
We used to live in this house.
Also, meow.
