I have an app that alerts me when there will be a good sighting of the International Space Station. I only had about 10 minutes notice, so I grabbed a tripod and tried to get a shot of it streaking by, but I missed the focusing.

Tried getting a macro of a little bug, but couldn't get the focusing right. It probably needed to be focus stacked, but I didn't have a tripod handy.

A bush in a neighbor's front yard caught fire. They got it out before it spread, but it threw quite a bit of smoke. There was a house that burned down in the neighborhood a few days before, so everyone was a little on edge.

I've been spending a lot of time trying to level the boards under the treads so they're flat and don't rock. It's really time consuming. I'll be good to have this project completed.

This is the tool we used to cut the treads correctly. I tried to use it to also cut the risers, but it was too long, and the measurements were slightly off.

We've got the treads cut to size and set in place so it's starting to look good, but still a lot of work to do.
