More Blog Subscription Problems 🙂 It appears that our server was recently spammed by AOL and possibly by several other (AOL-related?) e-mail providers. AOL was the first to do that to BPN more than a decade ago and we eventually solved the problem. But, they are back on our case. If you suddenly stopped receiving […] Stuff On Tuesday the folks from Ridge Energy showed up on time to install the new air handler for my central air. They worked long and hard. I am plugging away on the 5D IV User’s Guide but the going is tough and slow. In addition, I answered the usual several dozen e-mails, swam 100 […] Stuff On Monday I worked on blog posts, answered e-mails, swam 3/4 mile, and exercised a lot. I was glad to learn that the sales of Mike Lawie’s 24-105 and his 7D Mark II and the sale of Duncan Douglas’s “old” 500mm are all pending. See lots more great Used Gear with low and reduced […] Stuff The UFC 217 Pay Per View on Saturday evening November 4, was the best $59.95 I ever spent on sports entertainment. I was rooting for Rose Namajunas to defeat the big favorite, the undefeated Strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk. I was rooting for another underdog, TJ Dillashaw, to crush loud-mouthed braggart Bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt. […] Stuff I woke early on Saturday and drove over to Lakeland to meet up with friends Lee Sommie and Noel Heustis at the Circle B Bar Preserve. Though it is less than an hour from my home I had never been there. The place is pretty nice and though there were not a lot of […] Stuff Thanks to Eugen Dolan for getting me off my butt and getting this information together. And to Lee Sommie for the three images that he contributed. On Friday I worked on blog posts, answered e-mails, and entertained the Ridge Energy air conditioning repairman. A team will be here on Tuesday to replace the air […] Stuff I got lots of work done early on Thursday and then got back to work on the 5D IV User’s Guide; it is tough sledding … Swam early — 60 lengths, about .68 mile, and then off to TJ the chiropractor. Late afternoon exercise and then a 20-image phone critique at 4:30pm. Who’s on […] Stuff On Wednesday I watched Game 6 of the World Series on TIVO. Wow, what an exciting series it has been. I am looking forward to Game 7 on Wednesday night. As an old Brooklynite I am rooting for the Dodgers. The afternoon was spent working on Used Gear Stuff, a nice swim in […] Used Gear Sales Downturn After two years of frantic action on the BAA Used Gear Page things slowed down a lot in October. Perhaps because of an excess of supply as more folks are switching to various micro four-thirds gear to save weight. When supply exceeds demand prices drop. Right now it is a buyer’s […] Stuff Early on Tuesday morning I prepared this blog post and spent a good part of the day working on the 5D Mark IV User’s Guide. The pool is down four degrees since last week so my swims have been especially enjoyable. I did 50 lengths on Tuesday afternoon along with lots of stretching and […] Stuff I headed up to Kissimmee on Monday to see one of my many chiropractors, the very wonderful Dr. Scott Pancake. On the way up I answered 53 e-mails. On the way back I worked on this blog post. Assuming that I finish it before we get home, I should get back to work on […] Stuff After lunch on Saturday the weather was threatening so after a five minute pit stop at the motel we headed back out to make hay while the sun did not shine. We did well at several locations in a light but steady drizzle. We didn’t quit until after four pm. Then it was back […] Stuff On Saturday morning I met my group of four at DeSoto in the dark. Once we were all set up the group enjoyed and introductory slide show with my Macbook Pro on the front hood of my Sequoia. Things were not looking too great as there was not much bait around and there were […] Stuff I drove over to Fort DeSoto on Friday afternoon and met up with two good friends, many multiple IPT veteran John Dupps and multiple IPT veteran Lee Sommie. I was glad to see that though the wind was from the east southeast it was not very strong. We did great on my favorite afternoon […] The Daily Work ... And Bucking the Trend with my choice of a favorite Great Egret sunset silhouette.Stuff On Thursday morning I got some serious work done on the 5D Mark IV User’s Guide. Then it was off to TJ McKeon’s office in Lake Wales for some Active Release Technique Chiropractic work on my shoulders, hips, and back. Next was a routine visit to Dr. Holmes; my blood work last week came […] Stuff Wednesday was one of those Roseanne Roseannadanna “It’s always something” days. It began when I could not turn off the pool’s underwater lights. I had turned them on for my very late swim on Tuesday. Then several electrical outlets in my office (in the new rooms in the back of the house) went dead. […] Stuff Late on Monday I micro-adjusted my 600 II naked indoor with the lights: +2. On Tuesday I micro-adjusted the 600 II with my 1.4X III i TC in the morning: -1, outdoors with the lights (as the distance is too great for indoors even with my bowling alley hallway). Then it got too […] Stuff On Monday I began re-micro-adjusting my 600 II with both my 1.4X III i and my 2X III i teleconverters. I am not sure how but my AFA values disappeared both from my #1 5D Mark IV and from my Excel file 🙂 In addition, I answered lots of e-mails, prepared this blog post, […] Stuff I enjoyed an excellent cloudy Sunday morning on my my recent Fort DeSoto busman’s holiday, left early, and made it home for all the NFL games and my 48 length swim. Today I will be working on some BPN stuff and getting back to work on the 5D Mark IV User’s Guide. Lots more […] Stuff Friday afternoon was wind against sun so I went out late and found some excellent backlit and silhouette situations. The east wind persisted on Saturday morning when IPT veteran Winn Krafton joined me in the pre-dawn darkness. After a very nice sunrise we had some good chances with flying pelicans, Common and Sandwich Terns, […] |
