No, YOU Ring Him Up

Today was another slow day at work.  We had a client, but he didn't show up until around 1pm and his testing was done around 3.  We were using an altogether different machine this time.  This one unwound plastic from TWO rolls at one end and wound them together as one roll at the other end.  It also trimmed about an inch off the edges as it went.  Fascinating!

I tried to hurry home to get photos of the crazy windy neighborhood near my apartment while it was still light out.  Unfortunately, I got cut off by a truck and stuck behind a really slow car, plus it has been rainy and overcast all day so I really was racing against the odds.  I was thinking it would have been perfect to catch the neighborhood in this weather, because it looked so desolate and eerie.  I snapped this one on my way to the car while I was leaving the office.  Much to my dismay, I did not beat the sunset to my house, and the following pictures don't do the neighborhood justice.  But maybe you can see JUST well enough to have your interest piqued.  If the sky had been clear, there probably would have been just enough light to take some real photos, but unfortunately I missed it literally by minutes.  I did, however, get a dirty look from a weathered old fisherman, a look that said "what the H-E-Double-Hockeysticks are you doing in my neighborhood?!"










Hopefully when it's lighter out I can get a picture of him too. Maybe he'll even pose with some mangy sea-cats.















That's all I've got for today.  Nothing too funny this time.  Oh, but I did get this great picture of the parking brake in my car when I accidentally hit the camera button while I was climbing in:
