I have a few shirt boxes full of photos that go back as early as the 20's and earlier family portrait photos 1898. I have them organized a bit so they don't wear against each other. But scanning them in became to feel impossible. As scanning wasn't too bad. Cropping the photos out of the 5 or 6 I can fit on the scanner bed got so monotonous I never finished scanning them all or cropping them. I need to do that. The photos are cool as that age is rare to see anymore. They just drove out in the country and picked berries. Like there wasn't any fences or anything. They looked dressed up everyday too.

Wow, that is priceless!

I think 2 or 3 photos of my great grandmother survived! A box full is a massive family treasure!

Good for you.

My job is slipping into park. Not my doing. I have to remember to stay in my lane….

Hard to do.

Thanks brother!

I can’t really take pictures of the moon either. But I know Liliana has taken some very good ones.

Moon in the clouds!

When I bought my place, one of my brothers helped me shop for a set of basic tools. Just the stuff that's handy to have around the house for normal type stuff.
I've kept them organized and looking like new for 20+ years because I was taught:
Treat your tools well and they'll treat you well

Thanks to the handyman most of my tools are now looking like they were rode hard and put away wet. There's even a few missing that he "found here at my place". Honestly!

At least I know where they are - now the trick is getting him to remember to bring them back here the next time he shows.*

Irritating part - Yes, I can find something to replace them. But this particular set is no longer sold. So there is no replacing the part of the set if he doesn't return it. It will be a hunt for "something similar that will still work" at best.

I cannot wait for the day when he finishes these last few items. Then I can be done and never call him again.

Sad thing - he does decent work for a decent price. But he ghosts like a MFer and communicates for which makes dealing with him stress-inducing and maddening. Never again - I'll need to try and find a different handyman for any future jobs... and I will never recommend him to any of my friends/family!

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

That sucks, Likes! I feel your pain!
