I have a good excuse

I think I was doing pretty good about keeping this years Project365 current, but I got sidetracked. My girlfriend, Tanya, came into town; then we had to do all our tax stuff and we had to make plans for the year. As a result, I got delayed and now I am going to play catch-up again. Day 67 was a warm and sunny morning. Tanya is going to love the weather when she gets here tonight. I also discovered that the Charger makes a pretty nice canvas. Wednesday is beautiful. We open all the doors today as it is warmer …

Not a good month for groundhogs

I have to admit, I never gave much thought to what a difficult job Punxsutawney Phil has. February is a terrible month to try and see your own shadow. I live in Southern California and it has been a real chore to try and get my shadow every day. I can only imagine that the difficulty level is extremely high in southeastern Pennsylvania. Day 55 of Project365.

Beach Day

Even though I am self-employed, every once in a while I like to take advantage of Federal holidays. Since Monday was President’s Day, I decided to take Buddy to the dog beach with my daughter and her two dogs. My picture of the day for day 52 is of Buddy and a little friend he made.

Tough day for Project365

I probably did not give enough thought to the weather when I came up with my theme for February. After all, this is Southern California, weather is not supposed to be an issue. Tuesday provide no sunlight, so I had to improvise for day 46 of Project365.

Winter Green

Was a nice morning. Sunny and brisk out. I normally would have gone out for a bike ride, but Tanya had things to do and she is coming out tomorrow, so I decided to stick around. Took a nice long walk this morning, did a little laundry, then took a ride out to Newport Beach to try a new sushi place with some friends. The company was great, the food was good. That is the problem, I judge all sushi against Gu Gu, and anyone that has been there knows that is not fair. All in all, a good lazy …

Colder than I thought

Yesterday, Buddy and I wanted to show our solidarity with friends and family that are being hit hard with the winter storms. To achieve this, I put together a little “snow scene” as we would imagine it to be like in Indiana or Wisconsin. I have to admit, I was a little surprised to see that our snow still had not melted by this morning. Granted, it had not grown in size, and schools were not being closed as a result, but for Southern California, it was pretty cold. My photo of the day for day 34 of Project365 is …

Barger Harley-Davidson Chili Cook Off Photos

Last Saturday, my buddy Phil and I took a ride out to Canoga Park to Barger Harley-Davidson for their open house and to check out the chili cook off. It was in the mid-80’s so while it may not have made for ideal chili weather, it was a great day for a bike ride. The chili was pretty good. What surprised me was that I liked the vegetarian version best.

I can say I am anywhere

One of the advantages I found to my picture of the day project is that when I look back through the past year I can look at a photo and almost immediately remember where I was on that day. The weather around here lately makes it look like I am somewhere other than Southern California. Day 3 of 2011 finds me still home but it looks like I might be in Indiana.

Different year, same weather

I decided that I was going to discontinue visiting Indiana in the winter, but the way things have been around here lately, I do not see much difference. Yeah, I know they have snow, but it is not as nearly as wet as rain. My picture of the day for day two of 2011 was taken on another dreary morning in Southern California. Rain, rain, please go away.

Time to start a new year

I am going to continue with my photo of the day project, also known as Project 365. While I really had to force myself to complete the project for 2010, I did it and I am glad I did. I had thought about switching it up a little, like have a different theme each month, but I am not sure how I want to approach this. I guess for now I will see if I can do an entire month with me in the daily photo. Last year, I made it 18 days before I started using photos of inanimate …
