Rusty - Well worth the wait!! Very nice image. The photos are great and I really like the treatment you gave them and the bulletin board background!

Bill

[Byron Gale]

Rusty,

I can smell the sawdust!! Nice set of toys, there.

Kimi,
You betcha, anything that says "... will kill you ... cut off arms, legs ..." , is a tool - no doubt about it. The stronger the warning, the better the tool ("better" = more fun to use) and the more points you get for coming up with it :D :D

Rusty

[kimi_boo]

oh boy... I got points!! :D :D :D

[billz]

Steven - You take home brew to a new level ... crushing your own grains is quite impressive! Wonderful photo, and you're right the CrankandStein is probably a better photo than the drill. Certainly a better name!

Kimi - Yikes! Hope he gets it back to the rental place before any ot those things happen. Even if it didn't qualify as a tool I sure as heck wouldn't argue with it. Nicely done.

Gail - No wonder I don't like the dentist.;) Great image.

Clara - Great old tools! I love the smell of planed wood.

Byron - I like the circular presentation and the B&W suits it well. You got a nice sharp photo as well.

Suzanne - A darning mushroom! Very appropriate for the theme and a nice entry.

We're off to a good start for the week .... keep them coming in!!

Bill

[Byron Gale]

Suzanne,

There was always an old light bulb in my mom's sewing box... I'll be she would have enjoyed having a tool like yours, though!

Byron

[Bayla]

Suzanne,

I have one of those as well! My kids, who belong to the 'chuck away' generation think I'm mad when I tell them that I used to darn sock and sew up holes in stockings and tights......and I'm only just over 50:D

Bayla

[billz]

Bayla - Good shot ... I like the way the DOF falls off along the stethescope hose-thingy. And none of that stuff looks nearly as scary as Gail's.

Ellen - Those are gorgeous. You've forged a friendship with a very talented person.

Suzi - Beautiful shot ... and yes, appropriate. What's the background??

Pat - I'm sorry. But, err, ummm, it's very pretty????

Bill

[bayhli]

Good come-back Bill! :D

[Ellen]

Lots of varied tools- from crankandstein to big danger and/or pain to Suzi's moody shot to Pat with my least favorite tools in the world, another fun one so far, Bill thanks.

[billz]

Fun entry Gary ... glad you got it posted.

[GaryK]

Thanks Bill

It has been one of those weird weeks, with nothing normal happening and all of a sudden it was the weekend.
Daughter had her commencement last night (Ontario Scholar I must add). I had a flash mob geocaching event today. Came home from that and daughter's University football team was playing some sort of cup game, so we had to watch that (they lost):mad:.
Add to that all the stuff going on with the forums and such. .. and I was still earlier than normal.:D:D

[TonyW]

Gary: Glad you got one - I missed this week. Too busy playing with my new GPS (took advantage of the Canadian dollar). That flash mob geocaching event sounds like a riot. Never heard of them before. Going to have to organize one around here. What with that and getting ready for a trip to the UK next week I missed most of the forum stuff. Sounds like it was a good time to lie low and wait for the dust to settle ;).

Tony

[bayhli]

Glad you made it Gary - NOW we are really back to normal here. :)

Enjoy your GPS Tony - I was surprised to learn that many in this small community are part of an extensive Canadian/U.S. "treasure-hunt" sort of thing with the GPS. Sounds like lots of fun actually and if I was a little younger...

As for our Canadian dollar, I can't help but think it is soooo the right time for that 40D! I wish....

[TonyW]

You're never too old to have fun! I was out Friday with 3 other geocachers ages ranging from 60 to 75 (I'm in the middle). One we found required knitting a complicated pattern in advance to get the coordinates. Way beyond my capability but my sister-in-law who is an enthusiatic 65+ year-old UK geocacher and a knitter came to the rescue and did some long distance knitting for us :D

Which one did you get?

The event was kind of cool. It was a World Wide event and I am not quite sure if we were just lucky to get noon or if everybody did it at noon their time. They had an all nighter in Milton last night ..I'm just not that savy yet and don't have enough geosense to go plundering in the dark.:)
I mentioned the flash mob to my son he said "cool .. they have flash mob raves in subways in europe"
Aparrently they pick a place and time everybody converges for 10 min with thier ipods/walkmans, dances around, then disperses.:D

Pat

Link up with somebody for a quick hunt or two, you might be surprised.

Gary: have to confess that after many years with Magellan I finally went with the crowd and got a Garmin (MAP 60Cx). It's just like the Nikon vs Canon debate although in this case the decision was a bit easier.

That is supposed to be a good one. I was thinking on that one for the boy for Christmas, but I have a feeling as much as he enjoyed your event, he may be more into his computer. Mind you my GPS is in Waterloo right now.:D

I overheard the photographer at the event yesterday say he could hook up his GPS to his Nikon. A tad excessive for me.. I mean I do want to enjoy what I am doing and not worry about all the technology.

What he also said is that he syncs his camera time and gps time when he goes out for either a cache hunt or a photo shoot.. gps logs the route then he syncs the times up with some software so his photos are gpsed via the time stamp. Good idea.

[TonyW]

Sounds a complicated way of doing it. The next generation of cameras will likely have a built in GPS so the camera knows where you are (they are already available but aren't mainstream yet). They write the coordinates to the EXIF data and PSE5 and 6 both can read it and put the location on a map. Easy enough to do and I've done it manually for a few pics but I've yet to find a real good reason to do it. If I know when I took a pic then I can usually remember where I took it - or at least close enough. Not sure knowing where I took it to within a few metres offers much of an advantage unless you're in the real estate or surveying business or something similar.
