I did it with reason and Rhyme

So, to those who I have had the pleasure of meeting here online via this blog and still read it – leave a message and I might let you onto the Uhaul!

Long stories always are boring and usually change nothing.

I will stop by here once in awhile as I do have a few years worth of time into this blog.

I am not saying that this blog is closed or dead I am just taking a break from it. Things I wish to blog about are being stifled (to cut off (as the voice or breath) b : to withhold from circulation or expression). Most of the problem stems from my main email addy. An identity I have used for many, many years, is taking a break.

A kmilyun’s color changes more or less with the color of the objects about it, or with its temper when disturbed. In a cool, dark place it is nearly white, or grayish; on admitting the light, it changes to brown, bottle-green, or blood red, of various shades, and more or less mottled in arrangement.

Some Kmilyuns are loyal šŸ˜‰

Ready, set, Hide

Sometimes you just have to wonder – the “what the heck were they thinking” type stuff. Then there is the “what the heck are they up too” type stuff. Not to be confused with “ugh?”.

I am not answering anymore emails today – period.

Some are circular conversations, some are honest questions, and others are, well, I am not sure.

I would share them here but unfortunately this blog apparently is read by those you wish did not know it existed and not the one you wish did. Never happy am I? LOL

I am thinking changing my email and only telling those I want to emmm ….. it might be time to stop the complaining and go for it? Trouble is the one I wish to stop is my main addy that I have had for years. I wonder if I just ignored all incoming mail other than renewal notices etc., only allowed certain peeps through the filters and send the rest back addressee has moved to new diggs and if you were not on the uhaul you were left in the trash can would work?

I was smart enough to use a gmail email addy for the photography group – my box is now at over 3,000 messages and still counting. Most are just notices – someone joined – someone posted a message – and so on. Others are how do you do this or this is not working. Others leave me wondering how I should respond if at all?

If anyone tells you that managing a group is a no brain’r – well then their brains are obviously far more advanced than mine.
Kmilyun needs to hide šŸ˜‰

The Hunt for Orange

The photo group’s challenge this week is the color orange.

Here I was trying to find orange using yellow and red gels.

The Hunt for Orange

Depending on your monitor set up – it is there. That is another problem when viewing others images, sometimes they just look brown to me. Both monitors show exactly the same colors so I am thinking when the producer of the image processed it their color correction was off or my computers both show the wrong thing – ummm.

carrotpeals

But the carrot pieces above look orange to me and on the shot with a tad more exposure the pic on the screen looks like the pieces of the carrot. Maybe if I print it I will know for sure.

Meanwhile – off on my hunt for orange

I can sail the ocean but not the Lake

It is one of times where I am sitting here wondering how the heck I got ripped off LOL. Well, I did not get ripped in the sense that the product was bad, or problematic, but in the way thatĀ  it wasĀ  misrepresentedĀ  by the retailer (not theĀ  product’s producer).

I wanted to get the GPS maps for the lakes and rivers in Calif. The guy at the Sportsmans Warehouse in Reno told me that the BlueChart America’s map package had all the lakes, rivers, and the ocean topo info along with all the bouys, hazards, etc. Well it does not! It does have most of the rivers in N Ca up and the bays and ocean but no lake info. Well doesn’t that just suck. Once you open the package your stuck, let alone after you unlock the maps area of your choice. AUGH!Ā  I searched the net prior and found info leading me to believe the lakes were covered but I asked specifically to be sure. Does it cover the lakes? YES was the reply. Are you sure? Yes I am positive. Well bite me!

So, I guess I will have to take my GPS unit out with me when I got with other peeps with much larger boats ocean worthy LOL. Now anyone have the lakes??
