Have I ever mentioned I'm bipolar. The Arctic waters were a bit warmer, though (33F IIRC).

Dearest Jim:

Can I use that introduction? A little to laudatory? Gushing? But you have been so helpful. always showing a generosity of spirit...that guy-guy conventions be damned...you are dearest to me....lol

I did use the burn tool at maximum strength...that is over in Pending, and it made no change...so this has to be the settings on the downstairs computer, (re upstairs computer, from everyone's advice, went back to factory settings, re-positioned the screen so that I would be looking flat on....and these seem to have been good things to do!

As for Dave's polar bear swim...Yikes!!! triple exclamation points. I did text out some of these images as shot from my cell phone...and have several replies from Hawaii and from Florida that 66 degrees is an unbearable and crazy low number...to them.

Smile

Well, at least I'm working again...lots of trouble in this world of ours.

But not as effectively as I should be!!!!!!!!!!

Huh?

When I polar plunged into 29 degree water I didn't stay in long enough to learn whether there was an undertow. Or a leopard seal.

You know that you're over the hill, when your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill. Until then, don't stop trying. And even then keep on keeping on. Newton's third applies.

Foreground on both my monitors looks good to me. No splotchy components.

On the downstairs computer, foreground looks very splotchy...I may have to work on blackpoint and try again.

I went swimming after court, water temp 66 degrees, lots of chop and undertowns...I was going to say this to Dave but backed off...

I'm an old guy...and my goodness but doesn't my body hurt today! Even worse, looked into a mirror after coming out of the ocean...is anything as ugly as an old guy trying to do physical things!

I see you hung around till after sunset giving us another spectacular scene to admire. .
Ahha I see the mistake in this one, no way is it 6:00 PM so you need to adjust your camera clock back a few hours. I'll guess this one was around 8:15 or so since Siri told me sunset in LA was at 8:07 yesterday. Busted!!! Paul
