As I write this… In the passenger seat of the family truckster, we are closing the end of a great weekend.

Jeffie was able to get Friday off from work, I was able to find cheapish hotel tickets, and the Puppy dog had all of his shots up to date. It was the perfect storm coming together.

It’s Friday morning, 7 am. Jeffie’s Uncle Greg was in Mobile, AL prepping, and would be wearing his arm out in 12 hours for Mardi Gras. We intended to see that.

(warning… Don’t read anymore if you don’t have high speed. More pictures than any post prior….)

So anyways… We bought a family membership to the Adventure Science Center in Nashville at the beginning of the Fall. The new Planetarium was open, and is usual for most of these places, if you go twice, you’ll pay the membership off.

We’ve been twice in the last week, which is surprising to me. But then again, it’s a large playground to them… It’s not like they are going to actually spoil the fun learning anything.

Ok, So, I’m at home this morning, waiting on the new air conditioning and heating unit (Number 2!) to show up and replacing hard drives in my laptop. We’ll do that one in another post soon. This blog is definitely going to have the Feast and famine thing going for it in terms of content delivery.

ANYWAYS…. And then Jeffie comes driving up. 10ish. That’s not right.

Well, It’s been an interesting last couple of weeks. A while back, my dear wife started talking about me putting some of my photos up at the Library. Timeframe – Next July… There is a backlog.

Turns out… the backlog apparently works differently.

Well, it’s been almost a month, I suppose it’s time to actually POST some pictures.

You didn’t think I’d finish that Sentence and live did you?

And we’re going to do this a bit differently this time. Ordinarily, I’d go in, and drop three hundred plus pictures into Gallery. The server would choke trying to generate thumbnails, people would look at 10 pictures, and it’s over.

Not this time.

We had a blast of a time, and there was a significant amount of wear placed on the shutter of my camera. 50+ Gig of photo’s. That’s a pretty significant hurting on the laptop’s hard drive. Not to mention it’s going to take a significant amount of time to sort through those pictures, tag them, and process.

So, I’m going to try something different. I’m going to upload one picture at a time. Some will have commentary, some stand alone without further comment from me. I’m going to try for one a day. They will undoubtably be out of order, as I’ll do things as I see them. Eventually, the server load is going to happen, as I’ll still end up loading the Gallery, but that will probably wait a bit.

So, without further ado…
