What’s Up?<\/h3>\n

In an effort to reduce my use of insulin or eliminate it completely, I have just begun a new eating plan: intermittent fasting. I am eating one meal at 10am and my second meal at 3pm. So I am fasting from about 4pm till 10am the next day. No snacking then, only water. The first day was easy. We (Dr. Cliff Oliver) and I are hoping to make my cells less insulin resistant.

I enjoyed an excellent morning of photography on Wednesday and will be headed down to the lake for my walk and for more Sandhill Crane and vulture photography as soon as I finish this blog post. As noted below, there was a problem getting the balls for the new Minis anodized properly so our first shipment will be delayed several weeks.<\/p>\n

I was glad to learn that multiple IPT veteran Larry Master will be joining us at Bosque in late November. The BIRDS AS ART Gallery is nearing completion. <\/p>\n

SONY Rig for Sale<\/strong> <\/h2>\n

Great Buy!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

I am offering a slightly used SONY a7r iii Mirrorless Digital camera body — the very one that made all of the great images in the last few blog posts as well as those presented here today — and, a brand-new-in-the-unopened-box SONY 100-400 for the very low price of $4396.00. The camera is in excellent plus condition. But for some tiny nicks and scratches on the base of the camera, it is in pristine shape; it has less than 12,000 actuations. The sale includes the original box and everything that came in it. And as it says above, the 100-400 is brand-new in the box. I bought the lens in case I did not get my 100-400 back from Precision Camera Repair in time for the IPT. I was able to have UPS hold it at the station in Lake Wales and I picked it up last Thursday on the way over to St. Pete. Your purchase includes insured ground shipping via major courier to lower-48 US addresses only. Others are invited to e-mail for shipping surcharge info. Your item will not ship until your check clears unless other arrangements are made.<\/p>\n

Please contact me via e-mail<\/a> or leave a message on my cell phone at 863-221-2372 (Eastern time zone). <\/p>\n

You’ve seen the images … Both items are selling new right now for $2498.00 for a total of $4996.00. You can save a handsome $600 by grabbing the pair now. All that you will need to complete your SONY kit is a Sony FE 1.4x teleconverter<\/a> and one or two Delkin UHS-II 128GB SD Memory Cards.<\/a> Even with the fastest and most dependable cards on the planet, it is wise to have a back-up card available … <\/em> artie<\/p>\n
