September - October 2025

Not a "FB memory" as it certainly predates FB. My guess is it's around the time Shoemaker-Levy smacked into Jupiter (July 1994). Will Rupley: I've been looking for this photo (found it on the wall at Dad's) since seeing shots of your Unitron.

Sitting in with the Breakfast Klub

Open mic at Cafe 14, thanks to Dan Gilbert for the shot of me. Oct 23

At the Melchers estate. Oct 20

Light at the end of the tunnel

Youngster in the yard. Oct 17

Love those shiny frets. This is for the double-neck project, can't wait to see how it plays.

Not-so-small victory: doing my own fret-work (leveling, polishing). Very satisfying. I bought tools/supplies for this so long ago (before my summer got derailed) it's a miracle I was able to find them.

Lowest I've seen in a while. Oct 16

Small victory. Managed to catch it a hundred later too (65356). Hoping for 65432.

The first of several Kinks songs that were performed at Kent Lanes open mic. Oct 14

(Wasn't sure I'd be able to remember the lyrics it'd been so long.)

Another view.

I didn't think I'd do better than the Bluebird-berry-BIF, then this White-throated sparrow posed for me.

I haven't seen our Bluebirds since July.

Hadn't seen a Robin in a while either. 

Just for grins I asked ChatGPT to remove a twig that was in the middle of this shot.

FB says this Summer Knights gig was 5 years ago, putting it at Oct 9, 2020. Oct 9

The lovely Cedar Waxwing, a 7-year FB memory. Oct 7

Harvest/Hunter's Moon, first supermoon of 2025, she is still in the trees at my house at 8:30pm. Arguably more interesting that way. I thought Saturn was supposed to be nearby but I'm not seeing it. Good thing I looked when I did because it clouded over later. Oct 6

Longer clip (about a minute and a half). Photo by Raakesh Blokhra on Unsplash.

Short clip.

Merlin app says this is the sound of a Great Horned Owl, at 4:05am. (Star photo from another night.)
