The Sunsets and sunrises on the water are very hard to beat where ever they be! And your right, 85 degrees and gorgeous sky views do tend to make it not seem like the holiday season.

Thanks Al, for starting a nice thread!

Cheers all!

Thanks FW and Merry Christmas to you,
I hope 2021 is the year of the WA trip, that cheese I have been holding for you is well aged now.

:lol: Me, too!! Unfortunately, those IPAs I was saving for you are long gone!!! I promise to restock for the trip!

I'm counting on that cheese when I finally get there, Bill!!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Best of a NEW and wonderful Year of 2021 and anything else you might want or need.

Through this year this site has kept me sane (somewhat) and focused.

Instead of anything else I have spent good time doing tasks, adding stuff on the boat and just sitting in the slip and drinking champagne some days

Hoping 2021 is better for all of us in whatever ways we need or deserve.

Tim

Nope...two houses up our street. Photo taken out of our (second floor) living room window. Good thing I love snow

Let hope 2021 sees the boarders open and gatherings for happy hours with friends and family.

Good grief. And here I am complaining about netting all the leaves out of my pool from our latest “cold front”.

48 degrees and a 17mph north wind! Brrrrrrrrr. It even blew off one of my chair cushions! ?

Happy Holidays to all and thanks for supporting TF year round. This remains a great forum to learn from others and share experiences.

Egad...the HORROR!.

Grit your teeth, channel your inner Cro-Magnon, and get out there to laugh in the face of the elements! That cushion may flip into the pool!!!!!!!!

Hell no! I’m not going out there again until it warms up past 60 degrees. My hands are still frozen from holding the metal pole on the leaf net for crying out loud.

I’m hunkered down, absorbing the warmth from my chemical firelog. [emoji51]

Have a good one all, stay safe and have fun

Truth be told...I'm kinda following your lead on this.

Since retiring, I get up, peek outside to see if it snowed, have a coffee, walk the dog, shovel if the driveway needs it, come inside, relax for while, have lunch, shovel again if I have to, maybe have a nap, peek outside to see if snowed some more when I wake up, shovel if I have to, relax for a while, maybe split some firewood, have dinner, relax for a while, then maybe shovel again before bed.

We were supposed to get 2 feet today, but it was a swing and a miss with only 6 inches on the ground.

Sometimes projects inject themselves into my relaxing time. Only a couple months into this retirement thing

I feel your pain, Bill! I actually had to don work gloves because my pool pole was so cold! I might have to postpone work this until I can find a jacket! Fortunately, I stowed and secured my cushions before the storm.

 

[cardude01]

Murray,

I’m looking forward to following your retirement activities. I need some motivation to get off my a$$ and do something productive/fun.

Buncha wusses; scared of a little cold so you sit around taking pictures of your feet.

Murray,

My wife always wanted a workshop, so we built a 10x12 insulated woodworking shop in the backyard this summer. She (with minor assistance from me) built & sold a bunch of 'mountain shelves' this last month. Paying for itself already

I've been getting to know our Epson P600 printer. Just received some Piezography K7 ink prints from a pro printer today, and me-thinks the P600 prints are better with deeper blacks, which came as a big surprise.

The new year will see the darkroom finished, then I'll take a whirl at platinum toned/hand coated Kallitype's...that should keep me busy for a good 6 months, at least.

Then...(drum roll)...I make my choice of which printing process works best for my photography and start working towards website sales and/or gallery representation.

Or...I'll have a nap.

Think of myself as epochisodic (my word) rather than periodically lazy

Dare to Dream!

A smart man once said 'When life gets hard, eat marshmallows.'

I think it was Abraham Lincoln.
