And Back Toward The Light

I seem to have working scanner software again, and will be posting more art shortly. And I've acquired a garage-sale digital camera. It's scratched-up, dented, and discolored, but I've got most of the gunk off of it, and it's working; and its "best" mode looks to be good enough for the web. Just after selling off all my staffs. :) I also am now able to access the pictures on some older digital cameras given to me by friends; despite issues of non-maintained proprietary access software and no-longer-made storage media (which do not apply to the garage-sale find, though the issue of the maker going out of the digital camera business does.). These things are what I've been working on instead of commissions for various patient people. Those are next on the agenda. Maybe also fitting in some more information on carving things. (And cooking. And house repairs. And....)

But first I'm going to Consonance, the San Francisco Bay Area filk music conference. (Filk is the musical tradition of the science-fiction community, see Wikipedia for more information.) There will be lots of music, singing, workshops on music and singing, and a wedding. I'm packing my songbook and drums.

Meanwhile, the dental work continues nicely. Trees are blooming on the local streets. I've been getting more fresh air and sunshine, and am feeling well. Mmmm.

Yes, there were a number of stunning shots of an old automobile transmission, and several views of of flooring and plumbing installations.... :)
