May As Well Be The War Room!
Tonight is the last scheduled batch cycle of the legacy application I've supported for the past 10 years.
And the month that follows will surely be challenging and interesting to say the least! Goodbye, old friends, COBOL & JCL. Hello, Java & SQL. May we get along well!

Fishing The Schuylkill Banks
The Schuylkill Banks is an ideal spot for fishing right in the heart of Philadelphia. The tidal Schuylkill River is home to more than 40 species of fish. Common catches on Schuylkill Banks include catfish, perch, sunfish, carp and bass. Depending on the season and river conditions, you may also catch shad, eel, and a wide variety of other marine life.

It's All A Blur In The Morning!
Stickman knows not to jaywalk lest he ends up as roadkill. As seen at the corner of 17th & The Parkway, Philadelphia, PA.

Vintage Gear - A Family of K-mounts
My introduction to photography was through my Dad's Pentax kit. It consisted of a K1000 body w/ a 28mm f/2.8, a 50mm f/2, a 135mm f/3.5 and a 70-210mm f/4.5 zoom.
The original Pentax 135mm lens was sold and replaced with a Takumar 135mm f/2.5. I added two 50mm f/1.4's, a 55mm f/2, a 90mm f/2.8 macro , a 200 mm f/4, a 400mm 5.6 (not in this photo) and a 500mm mirror lens to the kit. The Chinon CE-5 was bought from Ebay to replace the K1000 as the film-advance mechanism malfunctions. Manual exposure and focusing make me think twice before pushing down that shutter button.
B&W and color images captured from this kit can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/jomak14/sets/72157603182365623/ and www.flickr.com/photos/jomak14/sets/72157603182483597/

Bike Locking 101: FAIL
There used to be a spiffy new commuter bike & tire attached to this wheel! Sadly, the owner failed to properly secure the frame to the rack. I'm sure he felt bad about the loss and having to 'hoof' it home that afternoon. I feel bad for him, too.
