35 days working from home in the book. I did discover a new positive about working from home this week. I had to go into the physical computer mine twice this week because Apple products suck. They really do. I have nothing positive to say about them. But that isn’t… Read More »You Know, I Hurt Myself As Well
This is the last collection of random pictures from 2019. Everything else that is left in the 2019 backlog belongs to a collection of pictures. Such as family portraits or senior pictures or a wedding. Enjoy: I can almost see the light at the end of the 2019 backlog. But… Read More »Stochastic
30 days working from home in the book. Although for the first time, I had to go into the mine to do something that couldn’t be done from home. I can’t put into words how much I hate Apple products. The fire of a thousands suns. That is the heat… Read More »ADM vs. Boone
25 days working from home down. No clue how many are left, but I’m guessing it at least 2 more weeks. This week with my extra stay at home time, I mopped my floors. All of them. Not counting the basement. We don’t talk about the basement! I also cleaned… Read More »Elainie Homecoming Ch. 1

14 work days of working from home in the books. I think the last time I indicated that I was starting to get a system going. Now I can say that I’m starting to get comfortable working from home. I don’t mean that in a bad way. I’ll pumped when… Read More »Minnesota State Fair #1
Happy Maundy Thursday! Traditionally I would have been a the Computer Mine for a full hour by the time this was publishing. However, my mind would be thinking about tonight’s worship service at the Boone First United Methodist Church. Maundy Thursday is traditionally one of my favorite worship services of… Read More »Mish Mash
People have actually asked me what I have been listening to while I have been working from home. I just finished off Day 9 from work from home and my listening choices have reflected a little bit what they are when I work at the office. Now I can’t listen… Read More »Yesterday is Gone Now
Day 4 of working from home in the books. Another positive about working from home that I’ve discovered is the extra sleep. I didn’t think I would sleep in, but it turns out, I sleep in about an extra 45 minutes. The weird part is that Naima also sleeps in… Read More »Fly Iowa: The New Blood
Day 3 of working from home. I thought I was going to talk about how a positive of working from home was how soft my feet are becoming. But I’ll cover that at a later date. Today’s positive about working from home is that Naima has actually started to hang… Read More »I Always Credit My Enemy
Day 2 of working from home is in the books. The positive I learned about working from home today is that the bathroom is only about 10 feet away from my work from home desk. It is always open. At the mine, I don’t know if people’s bowel movements sync… Read More »Fly Iowa Lives
I took Thursday and Friday off this week to watch basketball. Obviously there is no basketball right now. There is no basketball for at least a month and there is no NCAA Tournament this year at all. I wasn’t sure if I was going to still take these two days… Read More »I Don’t Know Why You’re Mean to Me
The pictures in the folders 2009-09-02 and 2009-09-04 are from two separate but nearly equally great events. A couple of the pictures are from Alligator Shirt Day.

Another big week for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Double digits for the 17th week in a row. Double digits easy. Easier than walking a Thunderbird.

Ever since the first time I flipped through THE PHOTO JOURNAL and landed on Page 109, I knew exactly where I wanted to take that picture. I flipped flopped on what I wanted the subject to be, but I never waiver on the setting. It wasn’t until a week or… Read More »A Photo Journal – Page 109
The pictures in the folder 2009-02-24/Arizona_Day_8 are from my last day in Arizona after the CMM had wrapped up.

Waiting to be… Read More »2009-02-24 – Arizona Day 8
