I had to return some amazon stuff to the ups pickup n it was warm enough for Kookie to ride n back so we made it to Mt P 

The last family I got to take a pic of .. thinking how can I get em all lined up so no faces were blocked, I did a pretty good job but forgot to change the settings back from soft focus.. 

The trees bare so I put em in the last sky pic I captured .. wish I did a couple more.. thinking how to get this many n said last time I had a bunch was last summer when I took pics of a soccer team hmmm and found the guy with this family was the coach :)

 #risingpark

 Saw this guy out on the rock when I came up n took his pic with his camera then later got to take some more, saw his skate board and tried to get a pic of Kookie on it to show Austin n Mickayla she is ready to boogie with em 😋#risingpark

 When I see names written in the sand, I like to take pics to preserve them .. thinking they might find it someday .. n let me know 

#risingpark

 

Guy was sitting down on the rock n got him to stand up to include the fairgrounds in the pic, a bit hazey but a pic he can share.

I also took pics of a couple different parents then 3 girls with their cameras.

Had to go back to town today .. overcast but figured after I got stuff done we would make it to Mt P.. didn't figure I would get any pics but some kids were coming down n I captured them and there were a couple pics I took b4 n never got around to posting em.

Hazey n Kookie was bugging this guy so I got moving quick #risingpark

.

Same time but the mist was not in the background and the flash brought out nice color.

#risingpark

Today I spotted these guys coming down n I think I took one of em.. or more pic b4 n the kid said he had a Saint Benard too. My trip was worth it ... If you know em tell em where they can copy their pic.

Hopefully I am doing my last trip to the hospital (out by the Chevy Dealer) for this year..early in the morning and there is supposed to be a big snow. I could wait but wanna get this stuff behind me.. just for a few more months.

Maybe b4 coming home I will stop on Mt Pleasant (25th)
Driving the Liberty when it is nasty out, Kookie scouting around.

#risingpark

Before coming down I spotted this girl stretching n asked her if she was a yoga girl.. no but she could be . Here is one of their local groups n a couple Yoga girls I have met here

#risingpark

Had to go to Krogers of course an excuse to come out to Mt P, I talked these pups into taking a pic of me n Kookie, then a took a few of them.. my camera and theirs.

I goofed off on fb too long .. a girl waved when we were going up.. must know me n Kookie. A guy pointing out the deer n Kookie slimed him.. 

Clouds coming fast b4 I fot up the hill. I saw this guy doing pics n did a candid n helped him a bit figuring out stuff n took his pic with his camera.

#risingpark

I spotted these guys n their pups n thought it would be a good pic :)
#risingpark

Took a pic of these guys at post 32. It took a couple tries to avoid reflections but I got a good one.

#risingpark

This guy standing over on the edge looking at his phone.. I told him to get rid of the phone n i would take a pic.. after a copule this one was good.

#risingpark

First I did this guy n he said he wanted one with his girl n so I just thought about that shot .. came out nice with the big scary clouds coming benind em.

#risingpark

The girl's girlfriend poppped in for a pic.. I like it where I can stand up a bit higher, pointing the camera down to get the fairgrounds.

#risingpark

Getting dark n I was gonna try jacking up the iso and do some multi pics.. they didn't turn out great n then I did the flash, I liked this one the bestus.

The storm was coming and I drove the truck so I had to arrange stuff so Kookie could get in the front seat.

At the bottom of the hill Steph n her pals popped up .. starting to rain .. was gonna show em some pics but we had to flee.

#risingpark

I got my hair whacked off yesterday, washed it b4 going in n never thought, when I got home it lookied like a porkupine .. 

The girl cutting my hair asked did I want this or that, n told her I wasn't going to the prom.. at this stage no one cares .. just don't wanna be so scary to make em flee. 😏

Took Kookie out n it was nice, checking stuff on the computer n out the window a big blue sky n so looked at the weather forcast looks great for this time of the year.

I saw two pups n their mom yesterday n thought about yearbooks. People can change so much in a few years .. but I found if you look at the junior year they r easier to find.. only if you get lucky.

The best pal I ever had through school n I got into some stuff as the years went by I found he lived over in the Dayton area n went to visit him. I was at his house the hour that Nixon resigned.. n took a pic of the tv screen.

After years went by I looked n looked then I saw his name in the class alumni of his sister's passing.. there I found he had died some years before and had been living back here in Carroll Ohio ..

If you went to Lancaster High School here is their fb group.

A couple times people asked where the Jeep was. If it is nasty I don't drive the Jeep or truck but I have been driving the Liberty.. has K00kie on the license plate. (bought the wrangler nov 2014 and just has over 14,000 miles on it. Lots of hair n dirt but that can be cleaned by the next owner)

On my way back to "normal" I hope.

After being stuck in the tunnel for testing 3 times, poked, xrayed guess I am doing ok .. there is a story about my kid bring me home n stopping in a gas station..but better not go there.

Today did a doc appointment for another minor thingy .. out on grandville pike .. past mt p and on the way back I stopped.
Kind of gloomy didnt figure any one would be there so I did some pics of me n Kookie n pasted em together..

Didn't take a good camera but the old sony is ok 

Did a pic of the phone with Kookie to time stamp it.

Kind of let down coming down n I spotted two puppies. I thought I knew em so I waited to see for sure. 
One of my favorite girls n her pups .. so glad to see her .. talked a bit.. hope I see em again soon 😋

Remembered to ask her name this time.

To Walmart next looking for pic frames they did not have so I bought their giftcard to order em.

Got my hair buzzed off, stopped at the pill store n gigity gig now typing this .

I haven't been out to Mt Pleasant much, hoping some of my fb pals capture some great shots 
I created this facebook group if u r froggy

"What song will they sing for you when you die."

People, pups in the lyrics of my song.. hmmm. When I post pics of them, I think they get views from my victims but when I post pics or our iconic places the views of magic mountain, they are most favored by all. 

Guess a song writer to change the lyrics of here comes the sun and I'll follow the sun for the composeition to be sung on Mt Pleasant during a sunset .. shared with others there n their puppies.

I have taken pics of people who work in different places .. some in scrubs or with med things on them. I sometimes think .. wonder if any of em I had taken pics of, might work in a docs office or hospital .. if I were there.

When they wheeled me back n their fancy pjs I must have been pretty groggy. A really cute nurse (with the mask not sure, might have had a wart on her nose) came n worked on me a bit. The last thought, I wonder if she might have been captured in my lens and damn I don't have my camera. 😏

The composition of my song .. the music begins with Here comes the sun with lyrics of the beauty we share

...  blended into I'll follow the sun .. I guess that is in us

01/09 

When I woke up and was out of bed, the phone rung .. ugh n I got my orders.

Back for a pre-test thingy b4 they put me on the rack and check my oil. I feel like a pin cushion and every place asks my bd and my name.. guess to make sure you r u 😏

To Walmart to take some stuff back, bought 6 pairs of reading glasses.. I have em everywhere n got some food for the day after.

Next to get a hair cut.. need one bad but they said 70 minutes.. so I didn't get one, would have missed the sunset.
Didn't figure anyone would be on top but at the crest Jacob was there (one of the pups I have taken pics of b4) then I saw this girl trying to do some selfies. I couldn't figure her flash n did a couple with my camera, if you know her make sure she finds this one.. should have taken a couple with her phone but thinking about serious stuff.
Sooo easy to see how much she loves that puppy 😀

First time to Mt P this year. 

Thought Luke might come up, I have been out of it but thought what the... 
Afraid I might have some problems, should have stayed home safe but I needed to do this.

Saw our fb pal coming down when we were on our way up.

I think these guys said I took their pic b4, but I don't remember that monster puppy #risingpark

This girl let me take a pic of her with Kookie.. thinking girls need to stick together :)
#risingpark

I spotted this classic shiloutte, then they asked me to do one they could be identified in, hope they find em.

 #risingpark

I saw these pals walking around n thought to gather em in one spot for this pic. There are photos of people in this magic tree from years ago.

#risingpark

My settings were out of whack these guys were super orange when I got home I decreased the color saturation, not too bad.

Then I saw a guy standing around in back n thought bet he is attached to em n got a pic of all of em together.. Kookie too :)

#risingpark

#risingpark

Pretty hazy but the story of pals sitting on the edge in many decades

#risingpark

These guys liked Kookie, wish I took more of em when the sun went down a bit.

#risingpark

Pretty sure I captured a better pic of these pals with their camera, tried to crop out the hazy background ...

#risingpark

I was gonna do a candid of this guy but he kept looking my way.. later I took a pic of him n his pal

 #risingpark

This guy wanted a pic with Kookie :) 

#risingpark

On the way down I spotted these guys n got this shot :)

#risingpark

Last week I was sicker than a dog, in excrucating pain in the ER with my kid that took me in. Finally after a couple hours and their pain med kicked in I got to take a nap. I hardly ever talk to any more than a few minutes, but there I was stuck n talked to my kid about stuff.

Until they use the roto rooter on me, they said if I am in pain just go to the emergency room.. duh.

When they do the deed (it was done years ago) it will be so painful for a couple days .. 

One of the pups asked what I did in the military, told em about starting photography in boot came, then my mind took me back, I think my mos was in communications, worked with coding machines, strung phone wire and climbed telephone poles.

Those poles were climbed by so many guys I got up a ways and my spike came out n down I went, the spike stabbing my other foot n they took me in, held me down and stuck a needle around the wound .. I was scared they would not let me come home because I did not get through it.

Now thinking how ancient I am, who climbs poles to string wire  .. I looked for my old discharge papers.. n dog tags.. guess they r long gone.. but I don't have to worry about the draft 😋

#risingpark

Spent New Years Eve getting worked on but I think I am all better now.. just wanna make it up the trail until June n the mother ship can come n beam me up to return home 😋

Kookie came to get n the pic when I did my show n tell braclet.. she smells everything for approval.
