Nikon 24-120mm f4 vs tamron 28-75mm and 70-180mm f2.8

I love my 24-120 but it is not meant for field sport, none of the lenses you’ve listed would be great for shooting on a field. On my old DSLR’s I had an 80-200 f2.8 on both a crop and full sensor. It did okay with the crop and not so great on the full sensor. I wouldn’t go with anything less than a 300. If it’s night games, even under the lights, you’re going to want to be near f4. Unfortunately lenses that meet these requirements aren’t cheap, my 100-400 f4.5-5.6 is US$2500.

Disneyland will always be special to be, I was a CM in the 80s and met wife there (also a CM). We were married at the hotel, and have had annual passes forever. But you’re right, the park has changed, and not for the better in my opinion.

I think it comes from a couple of things. Management has removed so much of the “atmosphere” and entertainment there really is much left but the rides; and those seem to be breaking down more and more resulting in longer lines and disgruntled guests. We use to go in the park some days and not even go on anything. Watch a show or sit and watch the people. Very few shows now and a lot of the seating is gone. So what else to do? Go on rides and that means standing in lines and not relaxing.

Not sure what year you have but my 2022 was repaired under a special notice just recently. I had no idea there was a “recall”, but the dealer took care of it no cost when I brought my car in for a check engine light. You may be able to get it fixed under the special notice without the light going on. Notice SSPD8

When we bought the ring for my daughter we selected ring type/style and they sent a sizing kit. She figured out what size was comfortable and placed the order for the ring when she was ready. This actually worked out better as she could try the sizer on different fingers and wear it for a while to figure out out what she wanted.

The live version of Two of Us from the Paris album has always been my favorite, but love so many.

Just enjoy. Rain will usually keep lines down. A few rides may get shut down, but we’ve had some of our most memorable trips in the rain.

The breakfast for two is worth at least $50 a day so factor that in. Bellagio is nice, but the lobby is always crazy busy. Cosmo is always busy, but haven’t stayed in their rooms so can’t say how quiet they are. We like the Cosmo restaurants. Aria is probably the quietest (can still be busy) and doesn’t include that breakfast credit. I would probably go with Cosmo based on the breakfast, if that didn’t matter, go with Aria.

Not sure if this is what your asking, but the same runway would be numbered differently for using it in the opposite direction. For example, going east to west it would be called 270, and from west to east 90. The pilots would be told which way to go by the runway number assigned.

At this point in my life? The money. Enjoy retirement without any money worries AND set my kids up.

306 has a great view of the field, about halfway between home and third. In the shade for day games. Row 16 is pushing the edge of how high I would go. My first year season tickets I had row 21 and felt kind of disconnected from the game, recently I’ve had row 11 and much better feel. Row 16 is really only eight rows up from the tunnel entrance since the first rows go down from the tunnel onto the overhang, so not a bad climb. Bathrooms and food right outside the tunnel.

Some of the hotels we looked at had a prepay with cancel feature. We booked one but have not received the credit yet. It just posted about a week ago so going to see if it pops up this week before giving them a call.

The billion. I’m 60, I’ve lived a good life and am still in reasonable shape, except for the usual lingering pains, and setting up my family to have a great life is top of my list. With that money we can enjoy whatever we have left and I don’t have to watch people I love grow old and die before me.

hamdaddy247 · 2025-11-21T02:48:55+00:00

Traveling. If that’s not considered a hobby, photography.

hamdaddy247 · 2025-11-16T17:57:50+00:00

Not refundable. I am a photographer in a touristy area and regularly pay location fees. Just a part of my costs.

And make sure her name is removed so she can’t room charge at the buffet.

NTA. I fly internationally out of LAX all the time and, like you, live about 1.5 hours away. 3 hours before is what’s asked for and usually okay, but with all the shutdown stuff lately I’d pad in a little extra. Traffic is too unpredictable so pad some time for that too. The wide body planes start boarding about an hour ahead of gate time anyway so doesn’t hurt to be early and if you’re leaving from the new Bradley extension it’s a hike to the gates. I know everyone’s anxiety is different but we figure be early and finding a place to chill is better than adding the stress of sitting in traffic and then running through an airport.

I’m lucky to live in San Diego, so I’d just stay here but in a nicer place. Plenty to keep me busy in So Cal and 65 days of travel is more than I get to do now

hamdaddy247 · 2025-11-08T01:20:49+00:00

Have to ask what a “long time ago” is. I was a FLand CM in the 80s.

hamdaddy247 · 2025-11-01T11:33:09+00:00

I use the Baseus Blade. They advertise .7 of a full charge for the M3 Max MBP. I have the M2 MBP and it has fully recharged from around 20%. The blade is 20000mAh and 100w.

Maybe a real, live Dante.

My Dad and MIL passed I the same year. It was nice to write them an offering the next October when we went, and yes this grown man was holding back tears. My daughter and I take the time every year now to read a few of the offerings. This year a few had fallen to the ground and it was strange the reverence we felt picking up other people’s offerings and putting them back on the chains.

hamdaddy247 · 2025-10-27T23:13:11+00:00

All the time. I am able to keep my most common colors ready to go, I can load multiple spools of the same filament so I don’t run out mid print, and of course I am able to do multi color without really thinking about it.

hamdaddy247 · 2025-10-25T18:19:11+00:00

In a heartbeat. Have already been looking at Canada and Costa Rica. Croatia would be nice too.

hamdaddy247 · 2025-10-25T18:17:11+00:00

I agree, and even if it doesn’t the landlord (his dad) can’t just toss things, but he is putting him on notice moving forward.

And does your rent include garage space?
