As a usual pre-sunrise senior riser, after powering up my downstairs living room computers at 6am, climbed stairs back up, laid back down then read pages 25 to 35 of the 500+ page Ray Kuriel "The Singularity is Near" best seller before feeling I had better things to do this weekend day 1 morning, especially a multi-stage image processing task I'd already invested at least 10 visually intense hours of dual window panel comparison for what looks sharpest, on Friday and then manually painting whatever section in manually with a sized image circle brush.. But gave me some motivation for brief diversions to break up my home bound days over the next couple weeks. Amazon Used book for $6.80 (incl sh) hardcover in my USPS box Friday afternoon.

So after getting up from reading in good through west morning window sky light, continued work on a 6000 by 4000 pixel San Jose Municipal Rose Garden close-up multi small rose subject with an excellent mix of warm pastel and light yellow colors. A dense ground hugging rose bush I shot 2 days ago on a light variable breeze Thursday morning that am focus stack blending 38 shots at different focus distances the software then chooses which shot file's XY small pixel zone has highest frequencies to choose that phosphor's shot one file source from the 38 possible shots.

Later noonish lost something of modest value walking on urban streets due to not zipping up a fleece jacket side pocket as I habitually do if going out but may leave open if am looking for something else to put in, especially sunglasses. Live and learn even for we olde wise ones. Mid afternoon lunch from 7-11 had a Twix Ice Cream bar then a Monterey Jack Chicken Taquito and binging on sweets while watching at now half time, Warriors leading Grizzlies. A few hot 3 point shooters but the bragger highlight will be with 2.1 seconds left, inbount to Ja Marant who with a strong 2 arm push motion sent the ball in from behind the half court line. Sure to be on this weekend's highlights.

add 8pm...
My plan hatched for tomorrow Sunday Mothers with chilly upper 50s partly cloud breezy forecast, will be to study the SJ Municipal Rose Garden map during the early morning and come up with a route I'll print out a highlight path for late morning with peak visitors going by every section of roses while wearing my GoPro8 helmet cam. So will want to shoot from the sunlit east sides of rose bush sections. Also will start by climbing up the perimeter wall for an overall view up a bit.

Recovering from helping hubby split firewood.

We had a couple who have stopped by 3 or 4 times wanting a load of wood.
Today hubby was here & they told him where they lived , to drop off the wood.

So he did ,, they weren't home .
When he got back,,asked me 'did they pay for that load of wood?' "'aaa,,no, thought they would pay on delivery."

Chances are we may never see any money.
