My watches

These are all my watches. 

From Left to right

1.  The left watch is my newest addition.  It's a quartz watch I bought for a dollar from Marion Joyce.  She found it in her late husband's stuff, not running and sans band.  I wear it to the North Museum so I can tell the kids there is a quartz crystal inside vibrating to keep time.

2.  The white and black Ironman was my second Ironman.  When I saw it, I really wanted it, but the $30 was a real stretch at the time, and it seemed like an extravagance  because I still had my original Ironman (next).  It's probably 15-20 years old.

3.  The black watch is my original Ironman.  It's been through several batteries and many bands.  The front buttons are a little sticky.  Could it be 20 or 30 years old?  It was my first real watch.  Annisa wore it for a few weeks last year when she broke or lost her own black rubber watch.

4.  The watch on the right has a face that lights up when you push the button.  Unfortunately, the date always goes to the 31st, so in months with 30 days I need to advance the date.  But sometimes I get the AM and PM wrong, and it rolls over to a new day at noon.  It's such a frustrating problem, I seldom wear the watch.  It's 10-15 years old, I would guess.

Thanks for reading.  You are free to resume your normal productive activities.


Von's gift to Jody

All this stuff came in a box from Von and Jordan for Jody.  Postage was $105.  HK dollars, of course.

CSA 4th week

Good haul from the CSA today.  This included the CSA conundrum "unlimited garlic scapes.". I still have some from 2 weeks ago!  Anyone know what to do with them?

Assateague 2013

Here are 214 Photos of our Assateague trip this year.  I am a lazy editor.



If any of you use Google storage to save your photos, and then you join Google+, you might get frustrated because the tools to link an album by pasting the cover in a blog, or by linking to a slideshow, seem to disappear.  Google wants you to share the photos on Google+, and that's it.

The work around for now is you need to sign in to Picasa Web Albums and then look for "Link to this Album".  We'll see how long Google lets this work.  I'm not a big fan of their consolidation of all their stuff on to Google+.
