I spent all day Saturday finding and buying a new gas dryer.
Just when I thought everything was okay, the dryer goes "Belly Up".

So I'm called out on a computer repair job, and I met some fine folks.
Brian and his mother Juanita.
The job started two days ago, and I finished up today.
There's actually more to do, but none scheduled until after the holiday.
As it turns out, they would make FNG jealous.
I'll post a few pictures of my adventures.

Nobody said the armorer and others weren’t at fault. Not unlike a bartender that over servers a driver who kills people. The bartender’s culpability does not alleviate the driver of his liability.
In Baldwin’s case, his actions and decisions were particularly egregious. Not only did Alec Baldwin serve on the board of an international firearms safety board, we know for a fact he has been instructed on multiple occasions on the possible outcomes of the actions which Alec Baldwin took to end the life of Halyna Hutchins.
I've worked on movie sets for years (Back in time) and only after non union craft were hired did the sets have safety issues. Now I'm not saying the union worker wanted anyone dead, but IF an effort to force the production company to rehire union labor by "creating an issue" went south and Halyna Hutchins was shot, I blame more that the guy that pulled the trigger.
Yes, the armorer dropped the ball, but again, one person doing two jobs, against union rules/wishes.
The entire cluster fcuk could have been avoided if the "Producer/Trigger Man" paid more to support the crews.
The crews were short on help, (Money) this created problems, (money) non union crew hired to
continue production, (money) sudden escalation in problems. (money)
Like many things, "Follow The Money".
Disclainer: I was sued by the union for doing more than one job on film sets. The issue went before the NLRB, and the union lost. (1)I drove the truck with film equipment. (2) I ran the generator. (3) I ran second unit camera. (4) I ran the Nagra IV sound recorder. (5) I supplied grip equipment. (6) I supplied electrical for the generator.
The picture is Rich Little, filmed in Beverly Hills March 1971 where I was doing "Still Photography" also.
