We're back !! Our ten day adventure has ended and we're still alive and kicking (barely). As the regular blog readers know our original plans had to be scrapped so we had to devise a fallback plan. In hindsight this was a good thing because we made a lot of planning and travel mistakes. For example, while both grandma and I talked about taking along a gait belt in the end we both forgot to put it on our pre-trip lists.
Anyway it was a good trip to visit our son whom I hadn't been able to visit for years due to my illness. Our scaled back trip commenced with a three day ANTRAK train trip from Seattle to Washington, DC. We then spent a week in DC with our son visiting our nations capital before flying home.

Wow, It's been awhile since I've added a post to my website. I've been very, very busy during my limited waking hours and been unable to find the time what with the rapid changes in my medical condition, the holidays, numerous birthdays (frankly my grandchildren come first), and other projects that I'm working on that has demanded my attention. I guess it's time for a new post but where to start ??
How about I start (more...)

As regular readers of this blog know I'm disabled and am effectively able to only use my right side. This makes it all but impossible to use a hand held camera especially the latest compact digital cameras. The new cameras are so small I don't see how anyone effectively uses them. I wanted a camera I could use one handed with fingers that are numb but no one actually makes such a system so I was forced to come up with my own jury-rigged design.
Here is the system I came up with. As you can see from the photos it is essentially a “point and shoot” camera system. It has a handle so I can hold and point the camera and a “trigger” so I can take the picture. If you would like to build such a system here are the instructions along with a parts list on how to build one. The system cost me about $200. in total of which the major expense was for the camera.
