New job fun!

[rbiemer]

I'm cooking for a small camp for the summer and that is very different than my last job but I like it.
The pic is the view from my kitchen.
I'll have better photos to share in a week or so.

Summer in the Adirondacks.....

So nice. I have some clients in the Catskills, NY has some beautiful places.

 

[Jocko]

Now that's a view from the office! 🙂

cheers, Ian

 

[Xmas]

Sure appreciate pics from middle of no where, It was when I got bored in an aircraft from St Louis to Baltimore, that I really realised how big it was...

Congrats, Rob! Enjoy your summer. 🙂

 

[SCOTFORTHLAD]

Good on you Rob---sounds as though you've fallen on your feet😛

Hope the weather stays good,

Brian.

 

[Stephanie Brim]

Can I come work with you? 😀

 

[mjflory]

Rob, congratulations -- it sounds great! Photo opportunities should be abundant.

 

[rbiemer]

Brad,
It's Raquette Lake.
Stephanie,
Sure!
Rob

Sounds like a good job in an excellent place!

Now that takes me back to an ex who liked to summer in Old Forge. That part of NY state is beautiful. If you get down to Inlet, check out the Red Dog Tavern if it's still there.

Good times...

 

[rbiemer]

Am going down there tonight actually. Any one you want to be remembered to, Al?

Not in the lunchmeat sections around here, I'm afraid. Closest we have is Vi-enna sausages. No Okra to speak of either.
Rob

since you'll be chefing (I keep picturing chef from south park) - introduce the kids into the culinary delight of souse (you can get it in the lunchmeat section --- read the ingredients when you find some as well as sodium and other contents

 

[Scarpia]

souse is a cullinary oddity -- texture of it is about like wet linoleum, sodium content is thru the roof - it's pig tongue,brain,feet,intestines,a little bit of every imaginable undesirable part of the pig 10,000 times worse than the worst hot dog legends...

Sounds like Philadelphia scrapple-can't get that in NY either although it was available 40 years ago. If it was Biemer would probably get fired for feeding it to kids.

Gee whiz, if you give away the secret of it, my relatives down Tupelo/ New Albany way are going to complain about the souse shortage!😀
My last great-aunt that made her own passed about three years ago and took the recipe with her; my great-uncle is just as glad about that as some of the rest of the famil;y is upset.

Rob--as long as you're in Inlet, check out Mary's gift shop. Tell Doug and Betty hello and get a doughnut in the coffee shop. Tell Paul from Atlanta sent you...

 

[rbiemer]

Paul, I've been down to inlet two or three times so far; it's close but I don't have much free time--today off and then about a month straight through--and I'll spend that in the woods.

I have a few photos to share but I haven't had time to do any post processing so I'll give a link to a Picasa album for those interested: they are my selections from the first four rolls I've got back. Not all are RF camera shots. And I will be putting some few into my gallery here but for now they are too big and I need to do some spotting and probably minor levels/contrast adjustments.

I am thinking of bigger film next time--I have a TLR with me and will be getting some 120 in a week or so but I'm thinking 4x5 or 5x7--this may be the excuse/need to get one of the FSU 13x18 FKD cameras. 😀
And there may still be a darkroom in the facilities across the lake. There once was and I don't know if it has been simply unused or the space changed into something ...the person that can tell me isn't going to be up here for a little while yet.
Almost too much fun this summer!

Nobody would remember me anyway, but I loved their Buffalo Wings. I suffered for days...


I was last in Old Forge in 1987 or 88. I need to get back there someday. I did recently get as close as Wurtsboro on the south end of the Catskills to visit a relative, but the Adirondaks are farther than I care to drive these days.
