Well, with 1000 km’s under my belt as a warm-up for this year’s driving season (yes, it was a late start for me), it was time to step up to the big-leagues and head over to Maine.  What prompted me to go?  Well it wasn’t the seafood, that was for sure – I’m allergic to pretty much anything that comes from the water.  I was purely in this trip for the drive and to see the sights!

Snappy Fridays – Guitar Tune-up

Before my last entry, quite some time had passed between posts.  Yes, this blog got neglected.  Well, I’m striving to get back on the horse again and post at least once every week.  My problem, what should I put up for this post?

RPOTD – Leaves and Grass Through A Chain Link Fence

This was certainly a strange photo which landed in my phone.  I think I may have triggered the camera as I was stuffing “Sammy” into my pocket. Fitting for a “random” photo!

W is for Water and Waterproof.  I use this cam if it is raining hard outside and too Wet to take photos or videos with my regular cameras. It may not be the best to use, but I work with what I’ve got! http://www.justwroteablog.com #alphabetsoup #jwab
