Funny thing...when we go crabbing, we used to look for necks, but the drum sticks were actually as cheap & easier to string up! Good luck on the trip! Ps - careful with CORONA, it’s really on the rise there in Tx!
Well I have bought a pack of drumsticks so hopefully I have crab pics for you...
and thank you for the thought! We aren’t planning on socializing and should be avoiding the city all together. I keep masks, gloves and sanitizer in the truck..

Nice. People care and don't know what to do. It's kinda like what happened with a turtle that I somehow got stuck with a couple of days. The whole thing started when my next door neighbors found the turtle trying to cross a very busy street in front of our homes. Cats were also bothering the poor turtle. They thought Saphire somehow got loose so they brought her to me. I kept her a couple of days and fed her but released her very close to the spot she was picked up. She didn't leave right away so we watched from the living room window. First she came and scratched at my front door. Then she played around in my flower bed. Finally she left but she didn't try to cross the street again. There is a small river a couple of blocks the opposite way. I believe she went home. Hopefully a lesson learned.

Sounds like a happy ending !!!

I actually bought the pentax w90 on eBay. It wasn't the green one. But it's coming with everything that came with it including the box originally...and the book even disc. I don't care if I have to buy a new battery. I do feel that someone that took care of a camera in that way, I won't lose a dime.

Can’t wait for pics!!

Me too! But then I'll have to figure a way to post them. I guess I'll be using my computer more. Photo though is the only reason why I wanted to learn how to use one in the first place. I think I can post pictures through my email and it's linked to TFO. I just found that out a couple of days ago. I am ridiculously a non tech person.

What device do you normally use to view/use/post pix here to the CDR? You will probably have to purchase an SD card reader so you can move the pix from your camera’s sd card to your “computer” or ipad. Etc

I either take the picture with my phone or download it from my email or text first. Then post it from documents. I do have a card reader but it's old. So it doesn't use a micro card? I have so many cards it's unreal. Adapters the whole shebang...I'm a hoarder when it comes to memory cards. My biggest problem will be learning how to use the camera to it's fullest capabilities and being comfortable with that. When I checked out that camera online it seemed like it would be one I could really be happy with.

A really nice, sunny day here this morning & no humidity. Went out on our nearby reservoir for a few hours paddling.

I just really hate that you have to go thru such a scenic view. It doesn't look real lol we have the Willamette river running thru town.

One more question.....? How is Opo doing in the yard now?
He loves it. Today he has been under the shed for most of the day. Staying out of the heat. I just tried luring him out with food. I really don't want him there all night. Raccoons are my concern. Tried spraying with the hose. He seemed to enjoy it. I have some food out there. Hopefully he comes out or it's going to be a long night for me checking on him.
I want to put a skirt around the shed but still cautious about going to home depot with the virus. I know home depot will pick out the materials and bring to the door. But I am picky about my lumber. Dont like to get lumber that looks like a hockey stick. LOL.
I guess I will take the chance and get the materials.

Sorry for your pain. Hopefully the doctor can give you something for relief. When sullies get determined they will achieve just about anything.
