Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

There isn't a lot for amusement out in the wild prairie - you pretty much have to make it yourself. Dad always had this camera in a saddle bag. He only graduated the 8th grade before my drunken grand dad "farmed him out" to work - and not get the pay. Dad left home at age 13, he said.

Anyway, he said the 8th grade teacher liked him and gave him this camera for some accomplishment relating to how he placed in the final exams. ( He got his GED in the navy)

Here we see an Agfa D6 box camera. An early day point-n-shoot. SW

That is really neat. Like my old razors, that will probably still work after all this digital crap has gone the way of the wild goose. LOL (IF you can find film for it)

Got a few "priceless" items from my dad rattling around here and there.
