Who are you?

[IIC]

Well...this Sony Digital Camera is really confusing me...The instruction Book is about 50 pages...Why can't they just have a BASIC page...Geez

Ya know...originally I taught my wife all this VHS and DVD stuff...But I don't even know how it works anymore...In fact...we have 3 different remote phones in the house...I hardly know how to use them...I rarely answer the phone anyway unless I recognize the name or number...Which isn't often...All my important calls come on my Cell anyway.

I don't even know how to use the coffee pot.

Reminds me of back in the 80's...My Granny called and said someone gave her a computer...She wasn't interested in learning how to use it...So she said I could come over and take it...I did...But it was a 10 key calculator...

Oh well...I guess I better get back to the instruction book...I've used digital cameras before...But this one is complicated

....have you heard about the forest fire on the BlueRidge right behind WW Boxley (started Saturday)? Originated near Villamont and goes on into Montvale.... it has burned over 3k acres now! The entire side of the mountain, all the way up to the parkway is charred.... The dude who dumped his woodstove ashes near the woods behind his house is in deep do-do.lol....I saw on the news last evening that they'll fine him $100k-$200k for the cost of fighting the fire.... The "US Forestery Service" has a helicopter dumping water (from the "Peaks of Otter" lake) on it....

I took some (tripod) pictures Monday night from a hilltop pasture (on my farm) of the fire. As I had the shudder open (manually) on my 35mm this HUGE flame shot up about 150 ft (estimate) I got it on film. I guess a big ol dead pine or hemlock caught fire and made that flare up. The fire is about eight miles from my farm (as the crow flies) Fortunately the wind has kept the smoke out of our valley, for the most part. I was in Troutville Monday and it was all smokey all the way over there.... I'll post the pics when I develop the roll.

I posted the above on 03/08/05.... I just had the film developed today and here is a picture of that fire. It's grainy because of it being 35mm converted by Walmart onto a CD. The actual photo looks better. Hard to beat digital photography imo....

I've got some good rabbit hunting pics I took last month. They're in my 35mm. When I use up the roll and get em developed, I'll post one of the "gang"....

I posted the above on 02/20/05.... The rabbit hunting pics were on the same roll. Here's a picture of me and my rabbit hunting buddies. This picture was taken on my farm near where I snapped those forest fire pictures.... The forest fire was in the opposite direction though.... I positioned my camera on the dog box on the tuck, set the auto timer, then ran over and got in the picture, my buddy "Kenny" was looking at a toothpick.SsSsSsssss!

Here's a picture of Kenny.... Looks a lot like Elmer Fudd if you ask me.jejeje!

where are the rabbits?

where are the rabbits?

Well, I didn't think to photograph the rabbits. This Photo of Kenny and Pete shows some though. There are several in those plastic bags and one on the tailgate of Kenny's truck. I'm pretty sure most of us had already put our rabbits in our vehicles by the time I got out the camera. I carry a little cooler with ice in my truck so mine won't spoil before I can dress them. Now, I always gut mine immediately after I shoot one, that helps to keep them from spoiling too.... I forget how many we shot that day, maybe ten or twelve total. We've got a hunt happening here this Saturday morning, I'll try to remember to take some more pics, maybe I can get some of the dogs on chase.

I guess that was after deer firearm season, since no one is wearing blaze orange. Funny though, if you get shot through the head, you're likely to be just as dead no matter what season it is.

If you ask me, Pete looks a little bit like Doug in that photo.

Rob, I am touched by your concern for our safety.

To put your mind at ease, we always wear orange during a hunt.

When hunting rabbits you wear a game vest or jacket that has a rear pocket to put your dead game into (see photo below of Pete). When you deer hunt you don't wear a game vest because a deer just won't fit in that little compartment in the back of the vest.

In the photo you mentioned everyone had already removed their vests.... But you will notice that two hunters did have orange hats on.... btw, We really do try hard not to shoot each other in the head anyway, but if you knew Pete you might indeed be tempted to....SsSsSssss!
