Let there be light!
Greetings TRF,

I've changed a lot of light bulbs in my basement the other day (you'd be surprised how good it feels to be in a bright room) and thought it would be a great occasion to take a few pictures. Ironically, I turned the lights off in order to take them (it makes me wonder why I took the time to talk about those light bulbs in the first place...).

Enjoy!









I hope you liked them, feel free to comment!

Thank you Cru! Montreal is still safe but I can't say the same for my very dark basement!

Carl, I love the harmonica pic with your DJ! I remember playing that and the trumpet (not at the same time) in my youth nerd days! Overall cool pics! Thanks for sharing with us!

Unfortunately I've never had quite the time to learn how to play it but I do like to take pictures of it!

Thank you for the good words! Next time you come to Montreal feel free to pass by so we can have a little blues jam!

You got it sir! Sounds like a plan! As long as you let me know where the good eateries are in Montreal I will be down for a blues jam!

I was never really away...just very busy! Did you get my PM about you going to watch school?

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger again in the next few days. No decision yet and I still might not make a purchase at all, but if I do, rest assured, you will be the first to know!

P.S. I am still loving that Datejust of yours!

Enjoyed your pics. Great timepiece.

I love it how you relate doing household chores back to doing something with your watch!
