Did a lot today…

For a Monday, it felt like a Monday.

Does that make sense?

Accountability Group tonight – looking forward to that. “Good Fun” sums up a couple hours of Hacienda chip-eating and peer-to-peer question asking… That’s probably NOT true for a lot of people, though.

My web-buddy Ken told me today about a link: www.dropload.com – he wanted the hi-res images from my asbestos factory photo shoot, but the directory was like 50-megs (impossible to e-mail). This website allows you to upload upto 100-meg files to their server and they’ll keep it for 7-days – plenty long for your web-buddy in South Carolina to download it! Cool, huh?

Had lunch with my Youth Pastor buddy John Bryan @ China Palace. Good eating, though I kept it to one plate of Chinese goodness. (Jess is making steak tonight!)

I also found time to look at my newest eBay-purchased item: a 1963 Benjamin Franklin half dollar coin.

“Why?”, you may ask, would I bid and pay just under $2 for a 1963 half dollar coin?

“Because”, I say, I’m going to make a ring out of it. That’s right, a “ring”. A SILVER ring (1963 was a year they were STILL making coins out of “real” metals that had worth)

Will it work?

I have no idea, but you can expect the photo diary along the way for sure..

Look what I found – here.

This is going to be amazing.

This morning I headed out to the abandoned asbestos factory in Winona Lake with my new digital camera for some photo-shooting goodness..

While at the old factory, the Parkview Helicopter flew overhead and I got a good chance to use my 10x optical zoom! Check it out:

Yesterday morning (at about 11:30AM) Phil Stuller called and woke me out of a sound sleep.

He asked if I wanted to go to Ft. Wayne with him! I said, “of course”!

the typical “from dashboard shot”
We drove to Ft. Wayne, and it was fun because Phil drove – I usually am the one who drives to Ft. Wayne when Jess and I go – so it was fun to be a passenger for once. I got to enjoy the beautiful sights along the way:

Bird Attack
After we arrived in Ft. Wayne we enjoyed lunch at Chic-Fil-A (yummy), a visit to the local Best Buy – where we found the world’s largest computer monitor, jumped on the web and took pictures of our blogs on the monitor:

After Best Buy we were off to Ovation – an amazing home-theater store, then to Family Christian bookstore as well as the Anchor Room Christian bookstore.

I found something VERY disturbing in the Family Christian bookstore:

I have no words.
The ride home was super – I took this shot through the sunroof and had fun playing around with my new camera all day:

Did a logo for the Eastern Michigan Kid’s Camp this year.
