Not sure why anyone would want to hang a guitar under a helium balloon, but it makes a cool picture. From a video, has a mirror finish that's reflecting the clouds. I notice they used a probably cheap Chinese made guitar, single pickup and look at the spelling on the name. Wonder if they ever found it later.

Some granddaughter pics from yesterday.

Picked her first carrot. Not very impressive, but she liked it. Some of the 40 butternut squash I counted behind her, was a good year for those.


Moved the crappy Ariens mower out to the shed. I had to replace less parts on the previous over 25 year old belt driven MTD than on this thing in less than 5 years. Still has problems, will probably always have problems. Would have been cheaper to buy a new differential (original wore out) for the MTD and I'd have a better mower today. I bet the hydrostatic drive in this crappy mower won't last near that long. Unfortunately I managed to get the neighbor's shed in the upper right corner. Even with that his back yard looks a lot better than mine.

Evenin, Moldy. With those Grandkids think of all the gym fees you're saving.

Yep, crawling around on the garage floor yesterday cleaning up the old oil the 2 year old tipped over is probably why the muscle above my knees hurt today. Lots of getting down & getting up involved, has gotten difficult the past couple years. Granddaughter realizes that, gets stuff off the floor for me without even asking. The boys just make everything harder for me, a day with the 4 year old and I feel exhausted.

Finished The Pacific series today, final episode was about what I expected, mostly skipable. Had a thought watching the previous episode with a friendly fire sequence, any of the vets here have any experiences with those?

Yesterday watched an Australian movie with a lot of seaplane sequences. Seems Aussie moviemakers don't know any more about airplanes than Americans. Well, maybe a little, it didn't dive into the ground when the engine quit.
