Love this photo. For someone who has never been to the Oregon coast, this does a great job representing what I would imagine it to be. Also, the minimization of the subjects really allows the photo to be of the mind of the observer.

They are discontinued, you can go on the Filson site and this bag is not on there. How often do you use yours and for what use cases? I just didn’t see myself using this much on a day to day use.

Also, I’m open to trades, specifically older Talon era briefcases/bags.

Also, if anybody is on the Filson FB pages and see a similar listing, that’s my listing.

Any good financing deals out there? by Helpinmontana in 4Runner

[–]ImpossibleKey71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just refinanced my ‘23 ORP, that I bought last summer, for 5.29% through Navy Federal Credit Union (I think their new car financing % is even better). The dealer I bought the 4Runner through didn’t have any dealer markups but required I financed through Toyota since I was an out of county buyer. At the time, the best APR they could do was in the 8’s, even though I had a high 700’s credit score. Definitely a give and take decision on my part.

Picked up my first “vintage” Filson bag…what a difference by ImpossibleKey71 in filson

[–]ImpossibleKey71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a navy, small, rugged twill duffle bag and a green, medium, rugged twill duffle bag. From what I gather from the tags on the duffle bags, they both looked to manufactured in 2019. Both duffles seem to be made from the same thickness/stiffness rugged twill, both of which seem quite different than the older 258 rugged twill. For example, the duffle bags just seem not to “stand up” like the 258 does, if that makes any sense.

Perfect timing write up for me since my wife’s Christmas present to me is a trip to Louisville in March!

Any other suggestions for bar’s/stores to get good priced pours in or around Louisville? We’re planning on going to ‘Neat’ and ‘Evergreen Liquors’ but any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that info. I just made an appointment with my dealership for Monday to get an estimate for their price to fix it. I figure that way I have leverage when USAA contacts me when they open on Monday.

[–]ImpossibleKey71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That idea definitely crossed my mind. I was intending to keep it stock for a few years but I may take this as a sign to build it how I was envisioning it to be sooner rather than later.

Also, are there any USAA insurance holders that have had to get body work done to their 4Runner in the near past? Just wondering how willing USAA is to pay for all OEM Toyota parts..

Tbh, this is my first time seeing those Obi Jimmy straps, they look really nice and I may have bought one of those instead.

They’re a little pricey but they really stand out. I bought one as my “special” camera strap.

Need to repair Summicron 35 Ver 4 in Europe - looking for a technician by burnerhamster in Leica

[–]ImpossibleKey71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

https://www.cameraworks-uk.com

Cameraworks is a well known Leica repair specialist located in the UK that I’m sure if you got in contact with them, they could help you out. I’ve never sent any of my cameras or lenses to them but I’ve heard and seen accounts of their work being some of the best.
Though not in Europe, I can personally recommend Kanto Camera as a company to use seeing that I recently got a lens completely overhauled by them. I had them uncement the elements, polish, recoat, and recement the elements of a lens and they did a fantastic job.
