They may be expensive, but they are very useful to have around! For example, the 10" works quite well for loosening the water hose from the faucet.

I didn't have time to dig deeper into the matter.

One of those days. Sunrise was just clouds, but pretty fantastic ones. Drizzled late in the day, so my sunset spot was not worth hanging around. Went back (up the hill) and there was a great rainbow, and went back down for the "real" sunset. I posted it in my "thanks for the hearts" thread. Thought I would do something out of the ordinary.

Rearranged my musical scores and straightened up the house while inside.

I'll mark the day as "productive" but it was one of those fantastic photography days.
Sometimes, nice stuff happens!

Yes, I use channellocks with the "square" opening for the hoses. Pretty much the same without that tang or whatchamacallit.
