A couple of shots from the vault. This was the summer of 1997 or 1998. We were “working” at Theodore Roosevelt NP in exciting downtown Medora, ND both of those summers.
I am scanning the Theodore Roosevelt NP images into the computer. I didn’t use high enough resolution on the last set. I knew better, I just wasn’t paying proper attention. Doing a better job on these – but sadly the images really aren’t as good to start with. I have thousands of old photos.
Had lots of pictures of co-workers – at their desks. Setting behind vintage computers. With those cheap-ass little computer speakers proudly on display. I realized that I still have a pair of those speakers. Not absolutely rock bottom cheap – but close to. Setting on my computer work area, sucking power 24×7. And, I think the only time I have used them in years – is when I was testing them to see if they worked. Guess what aren’t on my computer work area any longer?
Mr C is going to have an unpleasant week. He broke a chunk off of a tooth that he knows he has to have taken out yesterday so he has to get that taken care of ASAP, he is going to see the orthopedic guy about some elbow bursitis on Tuesday, and on Thursday – he is having another chunk of skin cancer cut out (at the doctor’s office). So, I’ll have to be extra nice to him.
For the potential dental extraction – I stocked up the fridge with “mushy” foods.
But, it was a marvelously glorious early fall-like day here in the middle of summer’s dog days.
Wow – they had speakers! We had to put an radio next to the Philco/Ford Aerospace 102* and program loops to make tones. Grin.
Hmm the Tektronix terminals could do some things with beeps too.
Regards,
Dave
