A Taylor's Barograph.....

is in my possession... its a pretty cool machine... unfortunately requires electricity... so maybe only good for winter use... i'm giving it a trial run... and it works!!! went to the Flea Market in Waldport, with Bonnie Jean.... it's always a source of amusement if nothing else... i didn't see anything that perked my interest, and was waiting for ms bonnie jean to finish her puttering around... looked in the 'goodie' case, and there it was... just screaming to come home with me....i'm always a sucker for quirky stuff... next i'd like a wind/gust recorder of some sort.... i remember as a kid, my parents friend had one, was very cool on a windy night... watching to see how high the gusts got... i read somewhere that canadians are notorious weather watchers... i'm right there with them... nothing like a good thunderstorm or snow storm to get the heart rate going :D ..... so i poked in Taylor's Barograph in Google... and up popped one for sale... $145.00... i paid $45.00... i don't feel so bad now....

been on several excursions of late... thought i'd post a couple of the pics....wandered over to Beaver Creek Rd... on the north side of the Alsea river....

i think i'm in spring mode... my 'grass' roots are showing

i'd have like to gotten closer, but there were 'things' in the barn.. generally ppl don't mind you photographing old barns.. but the contents are a different matter... politeness is the best route... in my estimation anyways....

i took other photos but nothing really spoke to me... i kinda like this one...... some sort of watery plant that was doing a gentle dance with the current....

added a new Blog... thanks to my friend Pat.... Idleworm... LOTS of cool info, fun to read ...

I heard....

a flock of canada geese.... in the fog... flying north.... spring is coming...

I saw........

a van... parked across the street... surfboard and owner... sleeping .... well at least until ms dora gave a 'good morning and why are u parked here' woof.... the occupant stirred sat up long enough to observe some old lady with her 2 scruffy dogs.. and down he went ... back to dreaming... perhaps of surf and women.... perhaps thats where that saying in the restaurant world came from... Surf and Turf.... testosterone heaven... LOL....
anyways... seeing the van led me down memory lane... right to wondering how much a van would set me back... i miss my old camper van... shadow and i had a LOT of fun in it... when i met mark, we travelled north america in it.... went 20,000 miles in 3 months.... was a very awesome fun and great learning experience.... perhaps a time machine would be kinda fun... but only for a visit... :D
sooo i was looking in the classifieds... (one NEVER knows ) and lo and behold i found this advertisement hmmmm $59.90 for a van like that?? i wonder if they realize that the ad is wrong!!! but perhaps i should call them and say... i'll pay cash... and get it quick.... seems like a nice van... i'll bet it loves gas ... a LOT......

I saw a bush........

on t.v. this morning....... sometimes a bush needs to be trimmed... shaved as u will....
personally i prefer the bush in the woods... filled with berries, sweet and ripe for the picking...mmmmm huckleberry pie season is coming..... well in a few months :D
