back in focus...for now

Cleaned up my camera today...at least on the outside.  Still lots of dust inside on the sensor and in the lens elements, but at least it almost focuses again.  To give you an idea of how bad it is - here is an unretouched image from two mornings ago with the moon setting.

Unfortunately, the shot of the day was still not tack sharp.  Got 3 more sheets of siding up...trimmed and painted the final 9.  65,79,39,0,B,0

Finished welding final bits this morning then primed the new steel.  Penelope slept through most of the work.  95,108,78,0,B

up'n'down...

Ladder duty for 4 hours this morning - working my way west.  Good temperature day but the winds got a little too breezy this afternoon to continue.  Will probably need one more gallon to hit all the little spots I seem to have missed - they are really standing out now that everything is turning white.

Cleaned up and showered down - contemplating a trip to the Starlight.  Roads have healed since the deluge but still some swampy spots to reckon around.   Decided last minute to stay home and enjoy the solitude.  All dressed up and nowhere to go.

Note:  1.  The live webcam from my .org site has been down since early June but will be up again full time in August.  2.  The limited edition of 100 hand made Field Lab tshirts is sold out - I will continue to make some for a short time if anyone wants one, but they will no longer be numbered.  88,92,68,0,B
