El port de barcelona (BCN's harbour), taken from Montjuic's slope (Hill of the jews), almost 2 decades ago on a P&S.
Flower sighted on a walkabout in Harrison, BC, last week.
Must have wine with that cheese? I prefer a cabernet, but not too much cheese

That's some insanely great lightning there. Harder than it looks to get balanced exposure under these circumstances
Yep...... I sneezed just looking at the photo!!! LOL!!! Goldenrod and Ragweed both get to me this time of year! The other day I noticed I was sneezing fairly frequently, especially when I had the A/C off and windows open in the house, and sure enough, when walking around the boardwalk spotted the culprit. My nose noticed it first......
hey, some of you know i was working on writing a class this summer, which set me into a panic when my imac kept shutting down (that was its own thread and my husband and son patched up my computer for me). it goes live next week. if any of you are interested in learning my macro techniques, send me a pm and i will send you a link to the class. this will be the only time i mention it, but i'm really excited by it. ? but i also don't want to really push the class here, because we aren't that sort of group. so end of story.

Good Luck ! It'll go fine , sometimes preparing a class takes more time than presenting !

'Your iPad Mini hasn't shipped yet either? I'm getting worried...'
Oh, blow your own horn. No one else will blow it for you. Not that in this pandemic mess you should want anyone else blowing your horn. ICK!
Good luck!!! You got this.
I think I recall you mentioning that you videotaped it, demonstrating various things you were doing and how you do them, etc...... Presumably there is also a written component as well, maybe a .pdf booklet to accompany the course as well? If it's not a live-as-it's-happening class then it makes sense to have a private forum set up for Q&A and discussion among the participants.
Where's the fuel
Baker Valley (rest area) Oregon. Twenty minutes into our drive the fuel gauge went from full to 1/2 full. I mentioned to my brother that a rest area was 3-miles ahead. After we pulled in and parked in a large commercial truck / RV area I got out of the passenger side to check the filler cap on the driver's side. As I opened the filler door, diesel fuel began flowing under the cab towards me. I looked under the cab to find the fuel tank raining diesel. A problem.
My brother called roadside assistance, and was told by the customer service rep that no one was available that day. Call back tomorrow. At 6:45am (our time) he called the service. From the time he called until 2pm, multiple lengthy wait time calls the service found a repair shop and tow truck for the RV. As we waited hours for the tow truck to come, later learning that the service sent him in the wrong direction and did not provide to him the repair shop location. More lengthy phone calls. The service tried to charge my brother $1,000 for a 70-mile tow (this distance is within his service agreement). The service agreement, tow truck, repair location got worked out; my brother was pissed.
The tow truck driver arrived, hooked up the RV, raising the front end (RV 10,000 pounds). With my brother and myself in the smart tow car we followed the tow truck for 55-miles to the repair shop.
Navigating with the GPS we arrived at what looked like an abandoned multi-vehicle garage, various well worn cars on the perimeter of a gavel filled lot. No indication that a business was active. With the tow truck, RV and both of us wandering around, I thought the service sent us to a business that was out-of-business. After calling the business number listed in the navigation info, my brother spoke with the woman who answered the phone. The roadside service never called the repair shop to let them know we were coming. Moments later a young man pulls up in a business name marked truck. I asked him if this business was part-time, he said that it is a mobile service. The RV was accepted by the shop and we left in the tow car to the nearest town with motels and dine-in eating 25-miles to the east.
When we arrived at the restaurant the shop service guy recommended, my brother checked his phone. A call had come from the service shop. After a call back and speaking with the service shop guy, he was told the RV was fixed. A fuel fitting release leaver had opened allowing the fuel line to disconnect. The fuel line was refitted and a zip-tie was placed around the fuel fitting release leaver.
We picked up the RV the following morning. The fuel tank was refilled and we were on our way back home. The repair cost - $80. Time spent resolving -
priceless.
