Since you have a fondness for big ma...Hey Ernie,<br /> Since you have a fondness for big machinery, next time you are in the neighborhood you ought to stop by my mill and take a gander. I have three nice big machines in there. Pretty expensive, too. I'll be paying for them for a few more years. Then I get to make some money with my business. I just got my big felting machine last week. Wow! Anybody need some felt?<br /><br />I've never been to Mexico either. If I do go, I want my daughter with me. Not only does she speak very good Spanish, she looks half Mexican, (or Thai, or Chinese, or Native American) She is half Chinese, but wherever she goes, folks thinks she is one of theirs. She is pretty cute, so that probably helps, too.<br /><br />When I visited Hong Kong my second trip, I was using my poor Cantonese to communicate, and had a blast trying. They really appreciate the effort.<br /><br />In Taiwan I bargained for some stone carvings. When we began negotiations the price was $200. As we were walking out the door, the price dropped to $2! You had better know what the price should be before you begin your bartering.Aunt Janetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-74650699981531171582010-01-18T22:57:46.524-08:002010-01-18T22:57:46.524-08:00I love Mr. Thystledew's photos and his site. ...I love Mr. Thystledew's photos and his site.

A better camera does not make better pictures-a better photographer does. <br /><br />for beginners, it is best to get more time behind your camera which will lead to more passion and more experince plus it will be the main way in a few years to take photos. It's in the archer, not in the bow.photo contestshttp://contest.wdthepowerofchoice.com/bgb-photo-contest/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-64766166456976244642010-01-18T15:10:04.432-08:002010-01-18T15:10:04.432-08:00i have an aerial view of a mill in laytonville,but...i have an aerial view of a mill in laytonville,but don't quite know how to send it?? can i scan it,then send it???<br /><br />i also have some distance pics of the mill down by the Briceland bridge,taken from our house.but i don't think they are good enough??<br /><br />also have a few logging pics taken out sprowl creek in the late 50's<br /><br />BTW ERNIE,i stumbled across the Altimeter out of that plane that crashed down by the river!ROSS SHERBURNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-19318833571795202722010-01-18T14:29:29.208-08:002010-01-18T14:29:29.208-08:00I do have a few aerial views of sawmills...I do have a few aerial views of sawmills...Ernie Branscombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391160783604462511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-5117719115172900122010-01-18T14:27:26.125-08:002010-01-18T14:27:26.125-08:00Well, I don't know of any two better people to...Well, I don't know of any two better people to send me pictures of Sawmills than you two!<br /><br />my email address is up there in the right hand corner of the front page.
