The day so far
Mar. 31st, 2011 12:13 pmUp early for a few reasons. Loki's internal alarm went off early, and had to get up shortly thereafter for Project: Pergola. Mananged not to stumble around too much. Go me.
Took all the camera kit out from trip to The Pinnacles, and cleaned it. Good thing for UV filters over the lenses. They had dings and scratches from the wind blown sand, but the lenses themselves are fine. Wing had to take his camera into the shop, as there was lots of visible dust and dirt on the sensor. All fixed now.
Sorted out some photos on the SD card. Tried out the Soft Box for the external flash, and it made one helluva difference. Ziggy, our ever patient (at times) model shows the even lighting without the harsh shadows and hard glare highlights.
Been chronicling the pergola repairs. It's coming along fine. Ziggy is most put out that her playground (cat enclosure) is currently offline, so I stood at one side of the yard, and Alan stood at the other side. Then I opened the back door. Loki came out, and then Ziggy did. She started caterwauling and yowling. Loki jogged over to see what her problem was, and she darted back into the house. At least she was placated. Will do it again this afternoon when the Mark quits for the day.

I found this funny
Mar. 31st, 2011 07:11 pmI have been seeing these ads about DVDs. They come with the DVD movie, and two other formats for you to use on different media players. This is announced like it's some big favor.
What the hell do they think I (and millions of others) have been doing with their DVDs already?

Raising the Roof!
Mar. 31st, 2011 08:00 pmThe last part of the pergola should be finished by tomorrow. A few of the roofing sheets are already up and bolted into place. Will be quick work to finish the rest.
Then comes the finicky task of putting the cat enclosure back up. We have been letting Ziggy wander a bit under supervision, but she needs her 'outdoors'. Also, it's a way to keep the other cats from wandering at night.
