Great morning out putting in some kayak miles on our local reservoirs. Calm and cool when we started this morning, warming up by the time we finished. Water is warm, calm air. Some surprise pix coming up.... hold your breath.

First some scenery

Ok, now the cool surprise pix. While we were paddling along the edge, I noticed two fighting rocks! Turned out to be two very large Snapping Turtles mating... latched on & hissing and rolling over & over. Oblivious that we were there a few feet away watching the activity.
loaded uo as thumnail pix... it’s hard to make out head or tail

My question is did you get that in auto picture mode? I love that you were able to capture the colors. That's why I bought a gently used w90. Also after reading reviews by professionals and why they liked it best, it seemed to be a camera I would love. I do.

Haven't had the Kane mat plugged in for about 5 days. Have the usual afternoon storm coming in right now.
Wonder what temps go on in the burrows they dig so they don't cook in their shell. I know they do siesta every day.

There's cats here that eat my backyard birds and walk dirty cat prints on my Camaro, crap in my gardens, so after I speak to the cat owner and they keep allowing the cat to be outside and annoy me. I set a live trap and take the cat for a road trip. This is what I caught last night. I think it must be pretty young as he's just not as big as what I have caught beforeView attachment 298428
I have a cat problem too. The same issues. I have a senior cat living in my home that's never been outside a day in his life. He screams his head off if he accidentally gets out trying to follow Joe. My home doesn't stink but the neighbor's cats make my yard stink. It really aggravates me that they allow their animals to be exposed to outside diseases and pests. The problem for them is the "pet" brings it home. However, I adore opossum. They have a big toothy snarl and hope and pray you're scared. If not they'll play dead I guess.?

Wow I will keep that in mind
Welding was a good choice for me when I was 19, I also went to a trade school to learn how to weld, burn, carbon arc welding and reading welders blueprints. I was State certified in multiple types of welding and burning, worked in Shipyards, on Bridges, Welded on high pressure steam pipe underground. I retired from the Port of Baltimore, working in the Crane Maintenance Department and Fab shop, climbing hundreds of feet in the air. Was not afraid to climb, my nick name was Monkey Man, welding can be a hard job to deal with because of working in different climates and weather. Welding is a dying trade because most young people want a set down job. Welding is a good trade, and if you apply yourself, you can make a good and honest living. Good luck on the choice you make. Don't be afraid of a little hard work.
