Making bread

   It's Sunday afternoon and I'm making whole wheat bread with my bread machine in the basement.  I have a little cabinet with most of the ingredients (see picture). And alot of wheat (not shown).

My neglected helicopter

    This is my small electric radio controlled helicopter. I've had it for more than a year. I haven't flown it much because I fly my UAV instead. What's a UAV, you ask? I won't tell unless some one asks.

     So I fly this around the house in winter when I get bored. I took it to work once and flew it in the factory, like 50 feet in the air, real scary! That was about a year ago, maybe I'll take it there again soon. Jan. 21, 2011.  end of blog for today.

Grandma

I will attempt to up load a picture of my grandmother and her friends from long ago, like 1912 or there abouts. Wait while I try. . . .  Okay, The girl in the middle of the back row is my grandmother, Ruth Roberts, she seems to be having a good time. They are apparently having some kind of party or get together. It would have been on the lower east side of Milwaukee, not too far from Astor and Knapp Streets because that is the area they lived in. It was a fairly new area back then and I don't think there was an upper east side at that time, or it was probably being built.
         In the front row on the right is Elizabeth Morgan, she has her arm behind that guy, and where is his left arm, and hand? It seems the girl on the left (Elizabeth's sister) isn't very happy about this situation. And his smile, that's no ordinary smile, that's the smile a guy whose wildest dreams are finally coming true. Is Elizabeth tickling him? So much going on in this picture, it's one of my favorites.
      But it was just a passing moment, over in a minute, a situation that was over in a minute and eventually forgotten. Except that it was caught on film, and will now live on forever in digital form.

Nothing new

Jan. 3, 2011, Tuesday. Nothing new. Going to work today, for half a day. I took half a day of vacation today so I'll start at half time.     Bill S.

Getting started . . . my first blog.

   This is my first ever blog. What's this all about? Can I write about whatever I want? . . . I rode my bicycle today, it was cold and I got tired. I am trying to ride my bike through out the winter. I rode it last week in the rain and through the snow and slush and dirt and mud. I finally got around to cleaning the bike, but first I took a picture, I'll try to put the picture on my blog. Wait here while I try to up load it.
      The point is, look at how messy it is, but it looks better now, after I cleaned it.
