The life and times of a true knucklehead – No photos to be used without permission
As I mentioned previously, I got a used Canon G9 and then a week later the G10 came out. Well yesterday I had to go and get the G10. The used G9 shall go on ebay. Regardless these are the 1st photos from the G10.
Next month my 5D Mark II – Dude Killer will be shipped, I can’t wait.
While in Phoenix at the gas station filling up my rental car I came across a large number of men’s club ads. It reminded me of Vegas where it’s just openly flaunted out in the street. Of course I had to pick up a couple, just for the blog you know.
Had to go to Phoenix today for quickie.
I’ve always admired the wide southern view of the bay from terminal 3. Of course the 3D going to 2d… it doesn’t look all that impressive on the blog.
I found out that Jon was playing in Walnut Creek on the night before the show and he was nice enough to get us tickets. For the opening act, a pair of ex-Cirque du Soleil handstand acrobats performed as the orchestra played. It was quite impressive.
Of course it goes without saying, it’s hard to outdo Jon.
I had an emergency job in Honolulu. On top of that I to do it over the weekend and I couldn’t bring Sandy. I did manage to get some shots of the local kids having a good time at the beach.
Before heading out to the airport I made a quick trip out to Hanauma Bay to grab a few shots.
The ducks are always entertaining. This morning I fed them and as usual there were all these duck fights. This is so funny for me because while the larger ducks fight for dominance, the younger ducks don’t care and just eat all the food.
In this featherweight match Harold and Denny square off. They get in a clench. Harold gets in a underhook which allows him to take Denny down and gets in side control. Denny tries to cinch up a Kimura, but Harold is too wise for that and he applies a beak lock on Denny til he taps out.
Sandy tells me I watch too much UFC….
Tonight we had another Fridate in the city. Sandy brought me to the Cosmopolitan Cafe, where we enjoyed a Ahi & Salmon Tartare appetizer & cocktails.
For our entrees, Sandy ordered the pan seared Yellow Fin Tuna while I munched on the Sturgeon special. The shared desert was the Banana Pecan Galette.
With full bellies we ran back to catch the 7:30 ferry back to Alameda. Ah life is good!
I wanted to get rid of my G7 in favor of the upgraded G9, so I got a used one on Ebay. A week later Canon announced the G10, Doh!
Here’s one of my 1st shots with the G9 with our always grouchy model Judy (I don’t pay her OT).
Not wanting to waste the frying oil from Labor Day weekend. We’ve been frying some more. Today I fried two Turkey Thighs and a couple of Cornish Game Hens for dinner while the Princess relaxed.
Now if I ever catch those ground squirrels that been digging in my yard, why I’ll…
Yesterday we flew down to San Diego to take part in Sid’s 40th Birthday. We also found out that he is the 2008 Alhambra United Golf Club Champion. It’s the most prestigious golf tournament in the San Diego area for high level amateurs.
