Welcome to my new site!

My previous web site was rather long in the tooth and was due for a serious content rewrite. It was built of HTML and CSS with no AJAX or JavaScript, the technology was, therefore, obsolete.

Instead of migrating the content, since most of the articles and pages were also quite old, this website represents a fresh start. That is to say, does anyone really need to read an article regarding the pros and cons of SOA or an introduction to cloud computing today? Didn't think so.

North

This is North, our fourth Golden Retriever. We raised North from ten weeks old. He had a few serious health issues at first and was a bit undersized, but our vets quickly got him well and growing. 

MEFi data

This is Crusader's document for MEFI engines. Both Mercury and Crusader used GM's MEFI system as it came from GM, so much of this Crusader manual applies for Mercury engines, too.

Stereo Repairs

Many years ago, while in college, I purchased a stereo system for my dorm room. I updated and added to it slightly after graduation, but mostly, these are the pieces that I bought while I was an undergrad.

Recently. I burned out my speakers, which started an entire process of repairs and updates. Here are a few of the repairs.

Car Shows

I have a few older cars that qualify as classic cars. I did not set out to collect classic cars, it just happened. Some of the cars I bought new, I kept long enough for them to become classics. I wasn't my intent when I bought these cars to purchase them and park them  in a garage for 20, 30, or 40 years. Time has a way of getting away from you until, suddenly, a few decades have passed.

Backyard

This is our backyard. The original owners of our home were gardeners. When they owned our property, the yards were beautiful, which our neighbors related. However, the people from whom we bought the house did not care for gardening or keeping up the gardens, so the backyard was overgrown to the point of being wild.

Boating

I've been a boat owner for a very long time. I bought a car the year I graduated college, Isabella, and the following year, I bought my first new boat.

It's a wonderful activity for so many reasons. It's a lot of fun. it gets you outside and not just outside but outside and on the water. There's nothing better than being on and around water.  ...and the more water, the better. There's lots and lots of water in the Atlantic Ocean. We sometimes vacation on the boat and when we travel with the boat, our dogs accompany us.

Kodak T-Max 400 (400-2TMY)

Digital is nice. There's much to love about digital, especially being able to quickly review a photo and adjust camera settings to achieve a particular look. Still, when it comes to photographic looks and mood, sometimes you simply cannot beat film.

Photo

After many years of being away from film, I wanted to try it again. And why not go back to where I started, with black & white photography?
