    You gents are making me hungry with all this talk of Lamb and steaks. Best rack of Lamb I ever had....believe it or not, was from an upscale Sushi place by me. Who woulda thunk it eh.

    Skip,
    Thanks for the teaser pal, but we are waiting on that "more to come" stuff. Patient putzes that we are...

    I (really) like lupines... I've been meaning for the past couple of weeks to get out and photograph some of the local stands of 'em... today, I finally did. They're a bit past their prime, but still (to me, at any rate) really gorgeous.

    It was a gorgeous day here - these photos don't really do the day, or the flowers, justice. I shoulda used a longer lens to get more "dramatic" images.

    Among my favorite highway signs in the country -- the spot, south of Boston, on I-95 South (which is actually known to all in the environs as 'route 128'... but that's another story) instantly, magically, turns into I-93 North.

    I don't have a photo, though, sadly.

    EDIT: well, this guy does -- sort of.

    i was just on "that road" last weekend. It's all 95 to me as i'm from East New York. Remember, Mass only exists from the Cape to 95. In some circles, Boston is the state of Massachusetts.

    I see from your photos above that the weedwacker has been shelved...

    At a brief glance I thought that said "Blowtorch Audio TWERKS"... my business trip to Bloomington - Normal, IL and lack of sleep must be catching up with me.....

    Thought since it is Ron and Russ, I wouldn't be TOO surprised if that was what it actually said :wink:

    Why isn't the Pacific ocean on the left of the picture? Because he's facing north, maybe?

    we had a thunderstorm barrel through this evening -- not a mid-Atlantic grade frogstrangler... but not bad, either (and we need the rain).

    The family and I just got back from a couple of days visiting friends in central Oregon so we had to take the long way home and stop at Crater Lake. It did not disappoint!

    It was pretty unreal! The lake is so clear that you can see about 140ish feet deep with a secchi disk so the only light that gets reflected is in the blue and purple spectrum. It is also cleaner than any tap water.

    We actually had two acres of "future telephone poles" (red pine) on our property when we bought it in the early '90s -- they were widely planted as a cash crop in Northern New England in the (???) '60s. Our stand, unfortunately, hadn't been well maintained even before we bought the land. Over the years, we lost more & more to ice and wind (they were too close together for their age and size and could fall like dominoes). We had to have them harvested and pulped when we built the house. Not something I relished having done (tree-hugger that I am).

    We still have to figure out what to do with that hillside :-(
    Right now, it's a breeding ground for invasives mostly. I posted a photo of it recently here to some thread (I think)...

    Sorry for the hijack; y'all know I cannot resist myself.


    PS The Crater Lake photos above are fabulous.
