ULOG # 5 - Some Successes - Some Fails

Some Successes - Some Fails

This week has been kind of a mixed bag for me. It's not like it started bad and turned good or the other way around. It was all kind of mixed up! Oh by the way Mercury is in retrograde! Not that that should effect any of this.

Success

I could start anywhere but I'll start here... on a high note. I did a what's cooking challenge post about this the other day. Pan Seared Salmon. I had been out to eat with my wife Sheila (@swedegis) and our granddaughter Morgan. I attempted to recreate the meal Morgan and I had and it came out an absolute success.

Fail

I pride myself in my homemade pizza dough. It usually come out great!

I had some left over tomato sauce so pizza was on the menu the other night,

The dough started out normally. The yeast proofed nicely. I kneaded the dough and put in in a bowl to rise.

After an hour the dough still looked about the same. Sometimes it takes to get going.

After a couple of hours... still the same. To late to make any changes. Sheila asked "Can you still use it?" Hahaha. I'm pretty stubborn. I said "Sure Honey!"

It looked good...

But tasted ... ???

The third time the chime

For some reason the radios in our motor home had been failing, We've put in 2 new one already, The only thing that we ever listen to is SiriusXM satellite. So why not just get a radio from them! Duh! I ordered one online. It came yesterday and I installed it today! So far so good!

Fail

The other day Holly, the campground manager, stopped by the other day and told me about some cool mushrooms that were growing behind their unit. She knows that I've been going around the campground taking photos. So, I headed out with my little Canon Powershot. I though that I could get some great shots and different angles. I took a bunch of shots. I was using live focus because I was taking them from ground level.

Most of them came out like this:

This would have been a cool shot if the subject was in focus.

This was dinner last night. Risotto with grilled shrimp. This came out great!

Fail

I try to take a couple mile walk every morning. I pass a cow field each day. Cows usually are good models to photograph. The farmer usually rotates the fields that the cows graze in. This week I noticed that they are in the one close to the road. So armed with my camera, I was ready to get some great shots. But, the morning that I had my camera they were...

Of course, this morning, me camera-less, they were all right up to the edge of the fence.

Success

This afternoon, while I was deep into my dashboard doing the radio, Holly stopped by and let me know about a bird's nest that would be great to photo.

Well, this was a nest she had found that had be blown out of a tree by the storm. It had one egg in it. She said "Here! You can have it!" OK, so this one is staged:

Like @jaynie would say "maak nie saak nie"
