Some of the old buildings at the Chatfield botanic Gardens. About 100 years ago this was a dairy farm. But the cows went on strike, apparently they were union cows, and refused to give any milk, saying no money no milk. This put the farm into bankruptcy, the county confiscated the land for back taxes and the cows were all sent to the slaughterhouse. The union called It a great victory for cows everywhere. The End. Wait for it to animate.

Always glad to hear that you're moving ahead with your plans to retire as a full timer.

Luckily, I don't live or work in a big city - I would classify it as "Suburbia". It's not terrible to get around here, but it was much easier in the Midwest for sure. This is the fourth truck I've owned, plus I've also been assigned several work trucks in past lives and I did miss having a truck. However, none of those past trucks had the crew cab or the extra height of this one, so that's taking some getting used to.

Luckily, Amazon is great and they send me another ladder as soon as they realized that the first one was lost in the mail. I have it now and hope to start on the camera project this weekend, if the weather cooperates. It's one of the collapse versions, so it should be easier to store in the RV.

I'll be interested in hearing how your ladder and camera project works out. My telescoping collapsible ladder is old and takes two men and a boy to open and close it because of all the dust and other debris that's accumulated inside of it that can't be cleaned out. Which is my fault because I never kept it stored in a protective bag, and would leave it sitting out overnight if I was working on the roof, and in the desert that's never a good idea. I've been thinking of replacing it so hearing about how yours works will be helpful.

Good report on the ladder, that sounds like what I would be looking for. I wish my ladder was either a little harder to use so I wouldn't feel bad about throwing it away, or a little easier to use so I wouldn't mind keeping it. Right now it's right on the edge of too annoying to keep but not annoying enough to throw away. Just keep your ladder clean and you will probably never have to deal with the problems I'm having.
