i think I threw mine in the trash in early 90’s.



I normally bought 36 exposure rolls. If I loaded the film carefully, I could often get 38 pictures on a roll. For some cameras, you could buy a different back to install that would allow you to use rolls with about 100 frames.
I normally bought the 36 exposure rolls or made my own. Still have my collection, 4 Canon AE-1 bodies and a pile of lenses. One is the all black body, the others are the black and silver. Dad also has his own that he bought new. I even have one of the auto winders.

So assuming I can work around the rain, the 92, aka the red Ranger, is about to get new rain guards for the windows.

Saw new Polaroid cameras on the shelf at Target last weekend.

It was weird to see them.

Who knew Target would be the first company to master time travel...

Now that you guys in the Midwest got over your snowflakes, the trucks came in with the vaccine, so the Redhead and I went down and got our second shots. She was gorgeous like usual even though we went down at 7:30. Like last time, she’s fine and I’m kind of achy.

Then we went by her house and I fixed the garage door frame where it was pulling out in the right top corner. Between these two, the Redhead was very happy and appreciative and she was smiling at me and winked. Whew!

Then I stopped by my mailbox, and the seat covers came in for both rangers. They are terrific! I wanted some graphics, and I was very surprised that they did the graphics perfectly, and they are heat pressed onto the covers, not just stamped with ink. They came from designcovers.com. They are very high-quality covers, they will look like the OEM covers quality-wise, but they are relatively easy to slip over the top and then fasten the fasteners that hold them tight.

By the end of all of this, even with fooling with the lawyers, I believe I was actually sexually aroused.

I’m pretty sure it was the seat covers...

my exhaust came apart on the way home, had to rig it all back together again. I do like the noise when I downshift and the muffler isn’t connected.

Always carry a coat hanger in your tool kit!

If it's not broken Don't Fix It!
Drove it into the city to stretch its legs. I gave it a full tank of fuel with a bottle of Isopropyl alcohol injector cleaner mix in prevention of frozen fuel lines so my beer fetcher can still fetch beer when I want it to. I can't argue with how faithful it is as it has only left me stranded once and that was a new part that went bad.
