Good bye my friend. I love you and will miss you.

I'm dying right now. I just had to let a family member and best friend go. I had to let Puddin go this afternoon after 12 years together; he was 2 when I got him. Good bye my friend. I love you and will miss you.

I have a heavy heart; I feel so bad. Puddin would sleep on my lap and watch TV with me. He would tuck me into bed at night and wake me in the morning. Puddin was a very sweet kitty and I miss him dearly.

I will get his ashes back and his paw prints in clay. I will keep them on the fireplace mantle or on the knickknack shelf.

I will get another cat but first I'll have the house professionally cleaned then replace the litter box with a brand new one.

When iPhone eMail keeps opening to an old eMail

noreply@blogger.com (Clyde Hoadley) — Tue, 08 Jul 2025 18:59:00 +0000

On my iPhone 8+ the email app will occasionally get confused such that it keeps opening to an older email message. When this happens I have to press the Back link to return to the inbox. It's annoying when it happens. It doesn't happen all that often, but often enough.

To fix the issue on my iPhone 8 Plus:

1) Open the email app and navigate back to the Inbox.

2) Simultaneously press and hold both the Home button and the Boot button (on the right side,) hold both buttons for a few seconds.

3) Simultaneously let go of both buttons. This should cause the email app to minimize and run in the background. If it doesn't, repeat step 2 until it does. It should not take a screen shot.

4) Press and hold the Boot button. Swipe right when prompted.

5) Wait a few seconds before rebooting the phone.

6) Give the phone time to reconnect to WiFi and to your cell provider.

7) Open email and see if that fixed the problem. It works for me on my iPhone 8 Plus, IOS 16.7.11.

The missing cataracts

noreply@blogger.com (Clyde Hoadley) — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 21:39:00 +0000

I had cataract surgery on my right eye this morning. I had the left eye done 2 weeks ago. Last week I did a simple experiment; I closed my right eye then looked at a white wall with my left eye. The wall was a bright white, but when I closed my left eye and looked at the wall with my right eye, the wall was noticeably darker and had a brown tint to it. I'll repeat the experiment next week once my right eye has healed.

Ham radio amateur television

I was successful at transmitting/receiving ham radio television over the Boulder Colorado amateur television (ATV) repeater.

I made a video about a rock.

noreply@blogger.com (Clyde Hoadley) — Sun, 13 Aug 2023 13:57:00 +0000

This is a rock called Biotite granite. It is a medium-grained, all crystalline rock with pink feldspar, gray quartz, and specks of black biotite - a type of mica found in igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Biotite mica is a composition of annite, phlogopite, siderophyllite, fluorophlogopite, fluorannite, eastonite, and many others.

Biotite is a rock-forming mineral found in a wide range of crystalline igneous rocks such as granite, diorite, gabbro, peridotite, and pegmatite.

Biotite has limited commercial use but may be as a filler in paints and drilling mud or as a non-stick coating on shingles.

Grieving Friends pinhole photographs

noreply@blogger.com (Clyde Hoadley) — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 16:52:00 +0000

These photographs are of the Armed Forces Tribute Garden Monument in Westminster, Colorado. The sculpture is called "Grieving Friends" and is by Bill Hueg, David Parvin and Eliot Summons. I made these photographs with the Harman Titan 4x5 pinhole camera with the 110mm f/250 cone. My light meter read 1/30 sec @ f/16 which computed to a 14 sec exposure on ILFORD FP4 Plus ISO 125. I developed these in ILFORD DD-X for 11 minutes.

Photographs made with a pinhole camera can take on an almost surreal appearance with a soft focus. One of the qualities of a pinhole photograph is that the foreground, middle ground, and background all have the same focus.

One ring to rule them all

I still need more practice with the Toyo 4x5 view camera, but I'm pleased with the result.

Toyo 45A 4x5 view camera, 1/8 sec @ f16. ILFORD HP5-400 black & white film. Developed at home in ILFORT DD-X.

This photograph was made using a Harman Titan pinhole camera with a 110mm f250 cone. The exposure was about 8 seconds. Unfortunatly I scratched the film, got fingerprints on it, and it had a lot of dust on it. I was able to cleanup a lot of it in Adobe Lightroom. I'm happy with the result.
