Another nice day, so I did some more exercising of one of my favorite old lenses, the Pentax Super Multi Coated Takumar 135/3.5.  My original M42 to 4/3 adapter was too thick.  I ground down the thickness to get an accurate focus at the infinity mark, and wanted a check of  my work.  This 100  yr old home, presently for sale, is about half a block from my back yard.  The nail heads showed me that the adjustment was fine.

This power pole in my neighbor's back yard has an orange sash around it, marking it for replacement.  The wood is in poor shape.  But the interesting thing to me is the so-called squirrel screen that is intended to limit squirrel access to the high-voltage line.  Squirrels cause most of our power outages. I'm just not sure how the screen works.
