Thanks for the new forum Carl!
I'll kick it off with a request for advice regarding the attached photo of my niece. The skin tone has a lot of grain, and I have noticed this on skin tones in many of my color photos with this camera. I'm not sure if the problem is cheap film, a crappy scanner, or what. Any suggestions?
Photo details -
Camera: Canonet QL17 GIII rangefinder
Film: Cheapo Kodak ASA 200
Negative scanned with: HP Scanjet 4850 flatbed

Thanks to JZ and Mark's Meats, getting the goat was a painless process. Carol picked it up neatly dressed and ready for marinating Friday afternoon. Hanging weight was reported as 24 pounds.
[Live weight was 50 pounds even. I sell meat goats by offering to deliver them to a local reputable processor I know to be USDA inspected and humane. - JZ]
I used a Jamaican jerk dry rub on the hindquarters, and marinated the rest using a Cajun recipe we dug up. I covered it with plastic and tossed some ice bags on, and left it overnight. The spit-roasting technique was straight out of "Outdoor Cooking" from the Time/Life series of cookbooks. It called for 2 hours plus 4 minutes per pound, so Saturday at noon we started the charcoal.

Conveniently, I was already planning to be up that week, for the SCA 30-year celebration, and so me and two of my friends rode our bikes up in an attempt at the Iron Butt Association's Saddlesore 1000 (and if we ever get the paperwork in, maybe we'll know for sure if we made it, but that's another story for another time).

The following charter contains guidelines that we hope will ensure the health of the Team. The Team has turned out to be a Good Thing™, and many of you have helped to make it happen.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me, a 9-5-5-i?
My friends all ride sportbikes, and ask why don't I?
The chicks all laugh at me, won't go for a ride,
So Lord, won't you buy me, a 9-5-5-i.
Oh Lord, won't you buy me, a nine ninety-six?
My Gixxer won't cut it, with WetLeather chicks.
I love them Ducatis, but I sure ain't rich,
So Lord, won't you buy me, a nine ninety-six.
