Title: Friday, May 29, 2026

Morning all,

Headed to 87 degrees later today, possible stray shower as well.  I have a trip to Costco planned for later this morning.

Only hung one of the backdrops yesterday and it was a bear.  It kept falling off the wall, maybe it needed more tape, but I'm hesitant to use more as it can tear the backdrop (did have a small tear removing the tape again).    Hope to get two placed today.

Jeff

Good Morning Jeff and all the rest that pop in. These are my two buddies that wake me up in the morning by licking my ear letting me know it is time to get up and take them out. Now if I can just teach them to turn the coffee pot on life would be perfect. Central Florida seems to be settling into its normal routine of 90 degree weather and afternoon to evening thunderstorms in area. Got an inch yesterday. 

I have the guys (ACL Tom calls us the Village Mafia, kind of fits) coming over for a couple hours of modeling and bull xxxx. Other than that just normal stuff. Have a great day.

Jim (plus Holly and Franklin)

Jeff, I've had good luck with Scotch delicate surface tape on backdrops.

I saw today on MRH's forum that Andre Ming has passed away.  He was a prolific poster and raconteur on multiple forums over the years.

Since my eyes are still in "funky mode", I've been doing a lot of household clean-up.  Two bags (one of cardboard, the other of general trash) ready to go out from yesterday, along with a box of stuff for a thrift store.  MUCH more to do.

Good morning, Jeff, Jim, Dave and later arrivals.  Clouds are closing in, so if any mowing is to be done today, I need to get off the computer.
