Todays Mission...

 
Been trying to regift what my lovely granddaughter gave me for Christmas but I can't find any  takers. Someone, please come take this cold away...
 
 We don't party to bring in the new year, we stayed in and watched a bunch of Johnny Carson classics.
 
So we decided to get out for a while today. Some fresh air, a little exercise. It certainly did me good. Sally had a good time too.
 
We drove out to the Mission at San Juan Capistrano.  There are only 2 more I have to hit to have been to all the original California Missions.  (San Diego and San Gabriel)
 
Ask Josh sometime about his trip of a lifetime visitng the others...
 
Hey Josh?...

The End is Near

Don't know about the end of the world but this is the end of the winter storm that just passed through Southern California.
 
This is a HDR (high dynamic range) image shot off of Hwy 101 just south of Mussel Shoals.  The structure sticking out into the ocean is the Ritchfield Pier.

Merry Christmas

 
Just back from Sally's company Christmas party. We wanted to get our picture in front of our tree tonight and I thought I'd share some of our Christmas decorations we have in the front room with you.

Economy and Additions part Deux

Well, its official, the economy is sucking...  Here in the manufacturing sector we been suspecting someone pulled the plug but its now official, we're circling the drain.
 
The company I'm with has cut about 130 jobs from their U.S. operations in the past 2 months and we were pretty lean to start.  I've had to lay off 3 of my guys in the western US and my dealers have shed some jobs and some have cut hours (4 day work weeks) to stem some of the losses.
 
All we can do is hang on....
 
In the mean time I'm using my evenings to update products on my Cafepress site and review, edit and create new products with new images. It helps put the fiscal problems aside for a while.
 
Along those lines I added a few new t-shirts in a new section I'm building TeeZ by AgentZ
 
Also added some posters to my Prints & Posters section.
 
Check them out...
