Stuff<\/h3>\n

Very few folks voiced their opinions — good or bad — on the five images presented yesterday. If you have a minute, please click here<\/a> and partake. <\/p>\n

It became obvious when I got into bed on Saturday night in pain that I was doing too much hand held bird photography — see today’s featured image. Lots of icing and moist heat were followed by Soothanol<\/a>, Zeel<\/a>, and Traumeel<\/a> interspersed with some fitful sleep. On Sunday I took it very easy and right before bed the injured wing was feeling pretty good. As soon as I got in bed the pain returned. So it was more Soothanol<\/a>, Zeel<\/a> and Traumeel<\/a> at 10pm and then again just before midnight. And then I slept five sold hours, and then another on top of that. I woke with just a bit of tightness but no pain; a huge improvement as compared to Saturday night … <\/p>\n

Again on Sunday I got some serious work done on the Nikon D850\/D5\/D500\/D750 Focus Fine-tune Guide. See the details below. <\/p>\n

I was glad to learn that there are now three folks signed up for the first DeSoto IPT. And I learned yesterday that the sale of Kevin Hice’s lightly used Canon EF 300mm f\/2.8L IS II USM lens in near-mint condition became pending. <\/p>\n

The Streak<\/h3>\n

Today makes two hundred thirty-eight days in a row with a new educational blog post! This one took about an hour to prepare including the time spent on the image optimization. With all of my upcoming free time (or not…), the plan right now is to try to break the current record streak of 480 … Good health and good internet connections and my continuing insanity willing.<\/p>\n
