  2. I cut my hair into a boyish pixie. First picture taken in January. Second in March. Third this morning. An editor friend calls it the Brittany Spears school of grief management.

  3. Yes, I set the title up on a platter for parodies..... For the first time in a long time I took the camera set up for photos on a dive today, I normally have it set for video. I took a few pictures so for those of you who are 'dry-landers' here are a few critters living just beneath the waves Plumose Anemones. They stand about 15" high. They are actually an animal not a plant and catch things in the frilly top and pull it into their mouth which is located at the top middle. (You can see the indentation on the background ones) The white things near the ground are actually tube worms A swimming scallop about two inches across. He is open and you can see his orange and white 'lips' that are actually the outer layer of their organs. The little black dots you see rimming the top and bottom are actually eyes. They have like 32 sets of eyes. They detect more light and darkness changes as opposed to 'seeing'. A rock scallop. Unlike the swimmers they are attached and do not move around. They are also much bigger, this guy was around 8 inches across

  4. We social distanced in the RV this weekend. We got out the heat and went into the woods outside of Flagstaff. These little guys were everywhere. Also woke up to a nice little herd hanging out in the meadow. A buck, four does and five fawns.

  6. 2 years ago I bought an antique spinning wheel for WoD_P that was made in 1796 in Kentucky. Traveled with the family when they went to Texas. Was with the same family till I got it 2 years ago. It was still in pretty good condition but needed some work to make it back into a good spinner. For the last several months I have been researching spinning wheel restoration. Wasn't sure if it was a project I should try or send it to a professional. 2 weeks ago started working on it. No nails or screws in this wheel. All joints were pegged with hand made pegs. Some pegs were missing and parts were very loose. Wood drive belt tension screw had the threads stripped. Leather flyer bearings needed replacement. I won't go into all the details how I did the repairs. It is now finished and works great. I still want to turn some new bobbins and speed whorls on the lathe but that is to make it more functional and not part of the restoration. I know some of you have seen the wheel and restoration pictures on facebook and instagram. Finished wheel. This picture shows the wear that the treadle got in over 200 years of use. This wheel will be used by my wife at our early 1800s reenactments.

  7. A sea anemone, a bit different than the plumous. The tentacles have small nematocysts to stung prey to pull into the mouth. If you touch one edge it will try to pull your finger in. About 14 inches tip to tip across A small sea slug, about an inch long. Think garden snail with no shell

  8. I was called the other day by an entomologist asking permission to come see my lighting bugs. He missed them and is going to have to wait until next year. But I did learn my population is the southernmost population of Photuris frontalis in the US.

  11. My son was over for the weekend so we went diving. I have two 1950's original style Jacques Cousteau Aqua Lung double hose regulators as just antique show pieces. Over the winter my son rebuilt them to make them diveable and at the end of the day we threw them on just to do a 'vintage' dive.

  17. I walked a few miles, purposely wore restrictive clothing so I wouldn't attempt to run. Good thing because after a mile or so I felt pretty good, was tempted to try jogging, but by the time I got back to the car my back was starting to spasm.

  26. I just bought 100 used tennis balls from the tennis club. I would love to do a video where I drop them all in front of the dog, but I am not positive how he would react. And, I don't want to clean up the mess.

  28. Not far, but in this heat & humidity, and my inability to take it easy, I'm usually soaked. Which, actually, would help with the social distancing thing
