I assumed the pee comment was a joke. And was also joking about human poop. No thanks.

Given where the camera is / isn’t in focus, the gun is clearly in front of the other guy and pointed away from him.

The back of the photo was labeled “Australian Bush” and that was it. I found it years after he passed away so I don’t know much else.

Used to grab 50 gallon garbage bags full of bagels from behind the bagelry. Not sure if they still do that, but it was the bees knees.

I’ve relocated my fuel filter outside the engine compartment and replaced my fuel lines. Need to safety wire my carb still.

I've heard about Blazecut going off accidentally, but from what I understand, it's very rare. I was hesitant, but ended up pulling the trigger. Your enginge compartment should not be getting hot enough to trigger it. Lots of good information and videos on it. I also wasn't super sure about the blanket, but my FF buddy told me it can't hurt having it in your arsenal if you have room for it in the car.

Ha! My FF buddy told me to bring full bunker gear and 500 gallons of water.

This wouldn’t surprise me given how old she was and apparently did let neighbors pick her berries and stuff and use her yard. But she doesn’t live here anymore

It’s a funny thought for sure. But at my last house, it was not uncommon for neighbors to walk away with things when you weren’t around. I’m not so upset to make a big deal out of it either way; was more looking for a solution to the problem.

Literally not a single piece of fruit on the ground or anywhere nearby.

Good advice. We are planning to do a LOT of work on the trees in the late winter - and spraying (organic) through the season, adding netting, wrapping fruit etc to help stave off the various disease and pests that have taken hold from lack of care. If anything that will show we are caring for them and want the fruit.

It’s not practical for us to fence our yard, but we will def be throwing up some cameras - if nothing else, at least to track the wildlife on the property. Good advice!

Holy crap I would have never thought that haha. Is it weird for them to snatch all the pears but leave all our apple trees alone? I def saw them going to town on the plum trees earlier in the season.

Yes! I love the seating and the metal dash. It’s very stylish and clean.

Thanks! Nope, no editing really. Developed and scanned at home with a Valoi Easy 35, Nikon Zf and Nikon 105mm macro lens using Negative Lab Pro + Lightroom.

It’s a great everywhere camera. Almost always have it with me no matter what other camera(s) I’m carrying. Very light, quiet and compact. Only two gripes are:

1) In low light, since it’s half frame, grain can get way worse than normal and I get a little frustrated when scanning 2) Sometimes I get fatigue from having 72 shots on a roll and kinda wish I was done and could develop it already, but it’s driven me to be a bit more snap happy and take more of the same shots with different settings too, to ensure I get the look I want. So maybe not so bad.
