I do need to shoot more people photos, need models, to upload. Sports and cycling photography is going very good, trying different things with strobes to make the lighting better. This can be difficult when trying to move around.
Right knee that I sprained on the 4th of July is recovered, but knee is stiff at times nowJackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427740215970448619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334076.post-51102984780721628052008-01-28T10:55:00.000-05:002008-01-28T11:00:08.453-05:00Tooling design is way to slow, so I decided to retire, semi that is. Time to devote more time to riding my bike and photography. Started doing microstock photography last January, in the fall I began submitting photos to midstock agencies.Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427740215970448619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334076.post-1158931346660954202006-09-22T09:09:00.000-04:002006-09-22T09:26:28.646-04:00Click here to view a short video of Marconni resting on my kilt, take today with my Canon G-5Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427740215970448619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334076.post-1089914900394369582004-07-15T14:06:00.000-04:002004-07-15T14:08:20.396-04:00Created and published my first web site, not too bad if I can brag a bit.

Had to call Dell and get mad before I got a supervisor to authorize my taking the 'puter to Personal Business to get a $15 network card installed - works fine now. Now I have two 3 gig machines, more than I need, but doubt I will ever need to get a new one for work or what ever. Think I better start doing web sites or some other Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427740215970448619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334076.post-1087915249652486462004-06-22T10:40:00.000-04:002004-06-22T10:40:49.653-04:00AH-4 tuner after lightning strike Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427740215970448619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334076.post-1087914364827293232004-06-22T10:20:00.000-04:002004-06-22T10:43:42.806-04:00Been away for a bit. To much work in February - not on the rollers but twice, I paid dearly when I got outdoors. Bought a Dell 3 gig putor at the end of Feb, very nice and fast machine. Been doing a lot of RTTY contest since 1st of the year, fun but nothing serious. Lighting hit the long wire on 21 May, the AH-4 tuner is destroyed. The coax was out of the radio, but the control wire was stillJackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427740215970448619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334076.post-1058958144412368492003-07-23T07:02:00.000-04:002003-07-23T07:09:26.710-04:00On the way to Seattle to the 3d Battalion 4th Marines reunion - love to fly, but hate the hassle in today's world. Sunday will drive over (up ?) to Mt Rainier and breath some fresh clear mountain air again, it has been far to long since I have been in the mountains. Only wish I could take my bike and ride some trails in the north west. It will be good to see the guys again and relive many old Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427740215970448619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334076.post-1057340031511160572003-07-04T13:33:00.000-04:002003-07-05T07:42:01.706-04:00Got rained out at the Sparta Field Day so I came home, put the radio equipment away, and cleaned up. Jeans and new tee shirt ruined from the rain jacket I borrowed, not color fast. Went to the MARA site in the late afternoon and had a good time, made 16 phone contacts. Need to get my CW speed up so I can work more in the mode. Made 3 rides this week even with the weather as hot as it is.

Sent the radio to Icom last Monday, $58 to ship, probably will not hear from them for a while - it didn't arrive in Wasington until Friday. Need to get on the bike, but with 55 mile an hour weinds yesterday and cold with rain no rides this weekend.

After a phone call to ICOM it is probably something more and should be covered under warranty - I hope.
Saturday - Did a couple of hours of trail work at Egypt Valley then rode a lap, need to spend more time on the bike - tired.
Today went out a 7:15 for a cold (41 degrees) ride, tired from Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427740215970448619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334076.post-934814292003-04-29T14:58:00.000-04:002003-04-29T14:58:37.250-04:00Took the cyclocross bike for a ride on Kent trail - only 16.7 miles - after finishing a design. Cool today, about 61 degrees when I started, nice for riding. Going to try and get my fat body back in riding shape so maky by form will come back and can doi the Iceman this fall. Better get in the trails soon. 2:30 checked into the OMISS net, conditions not good today so I didn't make any calls,Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11427740215970448619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334076.post-934222272003-04-28T17:14:00.000-04:002003-04-28T17:52:18.000-04:0013 April 2003 Tower went up day, thanks to Ray, N8LRF for doing the tower climbing and Phil, N8ITY for all his help and advise (not to mention pushing me to get a tower and beam). Except for not having the bolts for the top section, it went up in about an hour and a half. No complients from the neighbors yet.
