This is terribile! I caught the Minister of Mayhem playing with a toy mouse yesterday

What's so bad about that, you might ask?

Only this--if he has time to play with a mouse, then the plotting is over and the Ministry's operation underway, whatever that might be--feline underground nuclear testing, the invasion of Kansas, an attempt to gain control of the high seas and hold the world to ransom...

The only thing we can be assured of is that it's something awful, and even SuperGoose may not be able to stop him this time!

Taken with my cell phone.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a question about my 45 year old table saw motor konking out. Rather than getting a new motor, I found a refurbished Ryobi 10" table saw for $122 delivered. The original arrived broken, and I got the replacement yesterday.

The price was appropriate, but it will be a good second saw. I'm having a problem with the safety features. I cannot get the riving knife and safety cover attached. I am also unable to get the anti-kickback piece attached. If I follow the directions and put them in place, they are not secure enough to stay there, and I cannot lower the blade lower than about 1".

Unless you have this saw, you won't be able to help. As I said, it's a long shot.

I've been checking the forum daily for the last year and finally decided to send in some shots. All were shot with my Nikon D800e. The Flamingo and the Mandrill were at the Columbus Zoo and the dove was about 2 feet outside our front door in the Petunia hanging basket where she had made her nest.

Flamingo - D800e w/Sigma 70-200 2.8 at 92mm. 1/1,1250 @ f5.6. ISO 400

Mandrill - D800e w/Sigma 70-200 2.8 at 135mm. 1/320 @ f4.5.
ISO 400

Dove - D800e w/Sigma 105 f2.8 Macro. 1/250 @ f3.5. ISO 100
Handheld because I was afraid the tripod would disturb her.
