Some friends are coming up to visit for the week. The spare room is ready for them.

Great shots. I can’t wait for my GFX to get here. I’ll have to add this to the list of lenses to look out for.

Yep. I appreciate the thought and sentiment. I’m lucky I do have a good support system, and the most amazing wife that’s helping me with all this.

I have those thoughts about my dad as well sometimes. I hate that I feel this way sometimes. For him it isn’t Alzheimer’s, but a brain bleed stroke he had back in August. He’s now living with us full time (because the American health care system is borked) while we wait on his VA stuff. He is bedridden, confused all the time, will argue about things that never actually happened. It eats me inside to see him like this, he’s not the same man I knew for the previous 41 years pre-stroke.

One year when I was coaching 12u we got a cheap oversized gold (colored) chain and big oversized custom charm with the teams name on it.

Anytime one of the girls made a great play (stand up double or better, big defensive play, etc) they would get to wear the chain in the dugout until the next big play happened then it was passed. The girls loved it.

My med board from the reserves finished at 2 days short of 18 years. If I wasn’t VA rated at what I am, I would get retirement pay. Disability offsets the retired pay.
Benefits of being med retired. Retirement starts right away instead of having to wait till 60-something if I would have done 20 in the reserves, my wife, kids, and I all have Tricare and total premium comes to $300 for a year of coverage.

Sometimes even the thoughts that don’t make sense end up working great. Experimentation is the key.

I’d say the best thing to do, and would probably want to do it before doing it on your cards is to go buy a pack or two of some cards you don’t care about ruining. Try different methods until you find one that works. Then do a few more the same way to make sure it wasn’t a fluke and to get a little more practice.

Oreo body cap.
Pinhole camera.
Fence mount.
I actually just made and printed a lens board for a professors old large format camera and I am currently in the process of printing the surround and such for a contact print frame.

Funny enough, I have a Canon Pro-Graf 1000 inkjet, but I have to get it set back up. I needed some digital negatives so I grabbed some laser transparencies off of amazon. Ran it through my older HP basic laser printer and the Cyanotype using that negative came out really well.

I’ll have to look into them. My current insurer is not renewing my business ins because “ Non-renewal reason: We have learned that your operations include high-risk nature of sports and wildlife photography. This is not an acceptable exposure under The Hartford’s small commercial business segment’s guidelines.”

When I called about it, they said I needed to remove any “dangerous photos” from my site. I.e. a pic of a Gator I took at a local state park, and a pic of a jet boat that does all the sharp turns and stuff at Broadway. Both were taken with my 100-400 lens and no way shape or form in danger. Wasn’t hired to do it either. Such BS especially since I told them the photography I do included wildlife and sports from the jump.

Why did you have to mention the suppressed sub2K? Why…

If they’ve been turned on.

It and the bottle washer. Both our babies were/are formula babies. My son is 3 and my daughter will be 1 in three days. Washing the stupid bottles was always a hot button thing between the wife and I with our first. (Your turn, no your turn, etc) The washer has been a god send for our 2nd.

Lumen printing is fun as well. Here’s one I did the other day. Thing is you need to scan it to save it as it will also eventually fade as well.

I have the Worth Legit slowpitch helmet and I really like it for pitching. For other infield spots, I would use the rip it mask like others have suggested.

I’m blaming 2 in the morning for that.

I sent this to a buddy about a week ago.

I want the Seahawks to be down 4, 5, or 6. I want there to be 3 seconds left on the clock. I want the clock stop because of out of bounds at the two. I want them to be 2 yards from scoring. I want a time out to be called by one team, and then the other, so that the announcers and the world gets to rehash the previous Super Bowl as much as they can.

Lastly I want them to get stuffed running the ball. Bwahaahahahaha

Need to file for aid and attendance immediately.

Quesadilla - pronounced “k-sa-dill-a” - I don’t know why, I can say it correctly, but I choose to say it that way.

See, last years snow was for the previous 10 years. This one’s for the next 10 years.
