Ware the coming of the ghosts and goblins!

I put my 2 week notice in at work on Monday. Hard decision, but I was no longer happy or comfortable at the present location (for a variety of reasons).

Future plans are in the air, but I am not worried, in fact I am a bit relieved.

My last day will be Oct 29th. I have about 14 days of sick leave that they will not pay me for, so I am using them. I will be working very short days and going home “sick” early most of the time.

Last weekend I was again in Galveston. This time at a model shoot at the Railroad Museum. It was fun and I learned alot. Namely that I need to practice on people more and use advanced lighting. Here’s a shot:

Last weekend I was going to go camping in Galveston (actually Bolivar) and meet some fellow photogs for some photo opportunities.

Well, disaster struck Friday night: I was putting up the pop-up tent trailer that Dawn & I bought a few weeks back, and the rear cables broke (or maybe the pullies for them) and the whole rear of the roof collapsed. Luckily a friend was also camping there in his pop-up and I was able to spend the night there. Sat morning I hooked the trailer back up and drove back to the mainland and hit an RV repair place in Texas City. They informed me that they don’t do cable repairs, and the only place they knew that did them was a place up 290 in Waller.

So I took the trailer back home, and by then Dawn was able to go out, so we went back to Galveston for the day and took the dogs. We stayed until after dark with the photogs and I was able to get a few nice pics, of which the lighthouse profile below is one.

I called around this week, and visited a few places to see about repair options. I found a place (actually near BW8 & Gulf Freeway) that does the repairs, the quote was good, but the next appointment date they had open to begin work was the end of this month. Tomorrow I will make the appt and arrange to drive the trailer there for repairs.

Edit: The trailer goes in Oct 29.
