Hi y'all from the mid south of North Cackalacky " North Carolina" for the unsophisticated among us LOL. I'm somewhat embarrassed it has been so long since I've been on here. I always think about the people and Red and Fine. I've been busting my hump trying to keep my business going in this wonderful dynamic economy we are living through. My GF of 6 years might as well say wife made a Pineapple Upside Down cake with some RED in it so here it is. Kick me in the head I'm type II diabetic so I can't enjoy it. Hey they changed this site up a little to since I've been here.

iPhone shots of a visit to a Hibachi grill. Not great quality photos but shows part of the entertainment. It was fun but cost more that I was comfortable with. I had my arm twisted by gf and her two grandchildren.

Maybe some of these tutorials can help Nan. Lightroom can be a pain at first trying to understand the photo management structure. Once you get the hang of it, you will like how simple it is to catalog your photos and be able to go back to them. I keep everything on an external drive so you have to have it plugged in so Lightroom will know where to find them. It keeps from filling up the computer hard drive. Happy Lightrooming :D :shock:

Nan she appears to have an indignant expression but at least you got the upper hand and she is down. They can be so stubborn some times. Nice looking dog btw.

She stood tall and strong in her day,
Providing reliable transport for much needed hay,
Now she stands alone, lonely to her dismay,
Waiting on time and nature to force her into decay.

Did some panning practice...nothing special just trying stuff. :-D

Thank you Bill for the positive critique.

Thank you Nan for the WAY Cool.:-)

Yeah I still plink, plunk and click just not as much as I'd like. I still hang out in the shadows here to see what is being posted.

Poor ole Wiley E. Coyote never could get the best of the Roadrunner even using a lot of Acme's contraptions that seemed to backfire on him every time. I used to love the cartoon....beep..beep! I even had a '69 Roadrunner...hot car!
