I am not sure who Aaron is, but according to the menu at Restaurant 45 in Medway, this is his Fried Chicken Sandwich and one of my favorite things for lunch. Crispy fried chicken breast, lettuce, tomato pickles, pickled onions, and cracked pepper mayo on homemade garlic buttered focaccia bread, with fries – which are just as good as the sandwich. Aaron gets his with cheese (American), I get mine ‘Tim’s way’ – no cheese as it should be, no offense to Aaron.

In an antique shop a few months back, I checked my favorite spot, the pile of old cameras. Two young women were rummaging through the selection. I passed by and gave them their space, waiting my turn. They picked the camera above and moved it around a few times. I thought I knew what it was. It was in three pieces (though I did not know that then) to someone who might not know it was nothing but junk. They left, and I went back, and there it was, a Rolleiflex. I found the back and one of the top flaps in the pile, a small piece of paper stuffed behind the lens that said “1929 original”, and a name I could not read. It is not in great shape. I got the pieces back on, but is peeling, cracked, and not in working order at all. Still, it is a Rolleiflex, one of the most collectible cameras there are. I bought it at a very fair price. I got it home and did more research on it. It is an Orginal Rolleiflex K1 612. From 1929, if I am correct, there were 800 or so made. I have more research to do. It will be a great addition to the collection and maybe a refurbishing project when I find the time. No matter what, it made a nice subject for the new Hasselblad to photograph.

Took a group walk with Medway Parks and Rec this morning. A nice way to start off the year.

Rubber Chicken Comics is a favorite spot of mine. The place was packed today—the annual end-of-year sale. One more day (12/31/23), 95% of the store is 50% off. Head over and see them. Jay, Josh, and even the kid at the counter, who wears Seahawks gear for some reason, were all there today the masses.
