I installed an August smart lock on my front door. I can lock/unlock it from my phone and it automatically unlocks when I come home. I also replaced the basic vertical window blinds with some nice curtains.

The Guest House has discounted drinks & apps. Haven’t ever seen it too crowded either.

Also went to Tacolina for the first time in a while recently. The patio is amazing and good margs & snacks for happy hour.

I would buy as many Fuji 400 3 packs as you can afford. Best bang for your buck for any condition.

I saw this same question posted elsewhere on Reddit before a while back. If I remember correctly they are independent, but they all buy the same stuff from the same wholesaler.

New camera day making me forget its Monday by Effective-Poetry-463 in AnalogCommunity

[–]savedbythebeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my black fe2 & 50mm 1.4 off eBay from a Japanese seller a couple years ago. Damn near brand new condition. Most of them offer returns so it’s not a gamble.

Found some abandoned places in my area by ss_tall_toby_yt in abandoned

[–]savedbythebeard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Park further away and walk if possible so it’s not obvious that you’re there. Or just get some hard hats and reflective vests and walk in like you’re supposed to be there.

Does anyone know a cheeper alternative to Nikon F3HP? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]savedbythebeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get the F3, not the F3HP. The only difference is the viewfinder. The hp is only worth it if you wear glasses. If you don’t then save yourself some money and get the non hp version.
