Tronde,

I am already getting anxious about the February topic. Even most of our snow has left and it is kind of ugly and dirty looking out there in the wilds. We are also do for a 30 below zero snap at any time!!!

Trond Saetre · January 10th, 2008, 04:13 PM

We only have snow up in the mountains so far.
Here at the coast, it's just rain, rain and more rain, so yeah, it's mostly a brown colored nature here these days. Wouldn't mind a little snow for a change.
30 below freezing? Ouch, find all your warm clothes, Dale!

This is me captaining my brand new (old) sail boat on lake Tahoe...Still learning to sail but dang I look cool, eh? :)

Had a look down the thread, and thought I could add myself. But then it took a while to find the photo - the only one I have, taken when I was leading a natural history trip to Greece. The scarce swallowtail butterfly landed on my finger, and someone had a camera handy. Let's see if I can work out how to attache the picture to the post!

Now, I'd better get back to work, so that when the weather does clear, I have time to take a camera out - maybe stills, maybe video . . . . . . . .

Hello All:

This an excellent thread I'll dig out a picture shortly and post it. I've been out of touch for sometime now. I'm back after installing a new power supply, mother board and RAM not that I wanted to but following a batch of serious power failures I ended up with a fried computer. I'll keep this short but want to post a warning more or less. We were out of town, computer was off and plugged into a surge protector, my printer was accidentally left on all other items off. During our absence the local power supplier had some serious problems with one of the generators which caused long brown outs and power out conditions. We returned from our travels to a dead computer nothing absolutely dead. Packed it up and dropped it off to the local geek after hours or messing around...conclusion during the brown outs etc. power goes up the USB connection into the mother board and presto you need a MB and power supply. The new board is an upgrade so required different ram.

So I'm back and ready for the next challenge.

PS: Dale I'll get those pictures to you shortly.

Brian

Kinda late getting mine in here. This was taken by one of the friends I have coffee with once a week. All of them are both retired military and retired Civil Service.

I had just bought a Kodak Z740 5MP with 10X zoom as a "knockaround" camera and it was being passed around so everyone could have a look at it.

One of them snapped this as it came by him.

Not much use really, but this is me in Dorothea Quarry.

Jurgen Geevels · January 20th, 2008, 04:38 PM

This is me : >

Rob Evans · January 21st, 2008, 06:47 AM

Don't really have an "filmy" shots of me online, but I did a little piece to camera last year - it was very much UWOL inspired actually ;-)

And it makes me think that spring isn't too far around the corner......

Rob!

That was wonderful! You are an eloquent narrator and you describe the visuals so very well. This just might be the thing that will bring Brian and his 2 year old granddaughter back to a peaceful state of mind.... either that or it might be the straw that breaks the camel's back... I hope you can enjoy this Brian!

Rob, you are talented and passionate in your film-making... it will be so nice to have you and everyone back to a fresh start next month so we can soak up all this talent again... it got a little thin there in the end last year with a wholesome crop of the main-stays opting to take a swim.

Thanks for the clip, as I am here at the computer it is 6 degrees F and snowing. All the animals are in, so Brian you are not alone... our chickens and ducks are in pure pandemonium couped up in the houses, the goats however seem to take what comes in stride...

Here's to Spring, and UWOL 2008!

Cat

P.S. Dave Robinson, what a tease you are! Now we will all be able to pick you out in a police line up for sure...HA!

Rob Evans · January 21st, 2008, 04:03 PM

Cat, you're more than welcome ;-)

Brian McKay · January 21st, 2008, 08:49 PM

Cat believe it or not but the storm rages on...this is completely nuts. It's a full week now. In all my years up here the longest has been three days and here's the killer the temperature with the wind chill is now minus 59 degrees C or just in case anyone was wondering that's minus 74 F. Tires on cars and trucks are going flat just sitting the bead on the rim lets go and instant flat.

The little girl is amazing away from mom and dad for the first time and not a tear from her but my eyes are red and sore....I love you little girl but enough is enough LOL...Just kidding we do what we have to do.

Bob I've tried numerous times but I get a link error. Too cold for video I guess. Cat I hope the animals will be alright....for me its way too late LOL
