      OK....Happy Saturday, GSR!!
      Well, after sifting through all the idle chit-chat, missing photos, and all that, I think I have a tally...
      (Confirmation would be nice)

      With one vote, dorkburger
      With two votes, storm 64
      With three votes, Gustovh

      And with five votes for the win, kerrfunk!

      Nice photo KF, I dig it!

        Thanks for the votes, y’all. I had fun setting that one up. I don’t know why there’s earth being moved, but half a mile west of my house there’s a mansion (town founder kind of thing) with an open acreage, and this project is on that property. That’s not my church either but it looks nice.

        Thursday I asked my neighbor if she wanted to help me with a photo. She drove to the site with the shovel and she took the pic.

        There was a foreman taking pictures of the dozers, and he was none too happy when I parked my bike there, but he got a kick out of it when I explained what I was doing. One take was all it took.

        I keep thinking “dusk” for a theme, and I’m going to take a dusk photo this week instead of pulling one from my archives. I can’t require you to do the same (can I?) but I can encourage you to follow suit.

        Dusk. A new picture.

        Edit: I enjoyed a nice photoshoot on my neighbor's property on Tuesday evening.
        Here's my submission and sample:

          By the way, next Friday is the thirteenth. Might think about that for your dusk photo.

              It's in the Krusty's Inner Circle Mission Statement:

              "Krusty's inner circle is a completely unorganized group of grumpy individuals uninterested in niceties like factual information. Our main purpose, in an unorganized fashion, is to do little more than engage in anecdotal stories and idle chit-chat while providing little or no actual useful information. And, of course, ride a lot and have tons of fun.....in a Krusty manner."

                  That's the noise you get when the oil is too cold and you jam it into first.

                      Humm, Kerry, maybe bye then I can figure what is the significance of October 13th.

                      hee hee more idle chit chat.

                      Sunset around here these days is about 7:15pm..... (and then twilight, then dusk portion of twilight before dark)..... maybe I can arrange something, somewhere....
                      not this evening, looks like 48degF, windy, rainy, cloudy.

                      ANd thanks, Kerry, for the story of your "digg" photo.

                      Oh, Friday the 13th.

                          I was using the sunlight to check for holidays in the finish on these plywood panels. After sunset I had to improvise.

                                Ah, Ok. Was that a typo or a phrase in finishing defects I’m not familiar with? And now I’m adding to the idle chitchat.
