Bought the Radon version but they got some that covers pretty well anything that float in the air.

Smelling very good is a priority for me. This is the latest scent from the house of Mancera and it is AMAZING

I like a man who smells good as long as he doesn't use it as a substitute for a shower.

I didn't buy it today, but after a week of research, three pages of notes and two trips to the camera shop, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a Sony A6700 APS-C camera with the 18-135/f3.5-5.6 kit lens to replace my old Olympus E-M5 M1.

My research narrowed down the choices to the Canon R7, Fujifilm X-T5 and the Sony.

I've been trying to find a good camera that travels well (i.e. small and packable that I don't mind carrying around a city for a day). The wrinkle is that it also has to be dive-capable (i.e. have a dive housing, ports and user-setting guides available) so I can make it a "single arrow in the quiver" camera.

Surprisingly, I really didn't like the Fuji, despite walking into the camera store with that as my first choice. The Canon and the Sony were more or less toss-ups as they were both well-reviewed for underwater work and both have significant underwater support..... one was better in some areas, and the other better in others so it sort of boiled down to the one I personally liked better. And, the Canon has basically three available lenses for it unless you want to use adapters for full-frame lenses. That sort of defeats the purpose of "small and light".

I have to make a few calls to a couple of underwater photography shops tomorrow to confirm a few things about lenses and ports, but after that, I'll pull the trigger.

I'm heading out to a long food and wine weekend in Napa this month, the Pacific Northwest in April and Taylor Swift and Paris in May-- that'll give me some good "hands-on" time with the new camera before attempting a dive trip with the new underwater rig late this summer.

I've sold some of my gear, but I still have 2 Canon SLRs and many lenses. But my go-to camera for a few years now has been the Sony DSC-RX10 IV. It's small, lightweight, and has an incredible 24mm-600mm lens. I know several ace wildlife photographers who have switched from Canon to Sony for full frame/big lens rigs. They say using the Sony is almost like cheating, they're so good. From what I've seen of their images, I can believe it.

Instead of a plain $11 black metal license plate frame, bought this one with custom engraving off eBay for ~$12.50.

Thought “Future Classic” seemed appropriate for my e91.

Still waiting to get the call that my personalized plates are in at the tax office so I can install both together.


Edit, I though I had posted the plate a couple weeks ago, but someone asked me what they will be so here is the “rendering” added as well

Apple finally came up with solid color watch bands. Got two that match my AW.

My supply ran out, so time to resupply. My quick go to lunch.. Sardines on whole wheat saltiness.
One of the better brand sardines IMHO.

Logitech MX Anywhere 3S mouse. Best mouse for Mac, IMO. I have one for my laptop and now this one for my iMac. Super accurate and stable. No dongle needed. Can also be used for 3 different devices.

Looks nice. My wife would like that for her desktop. I've had Mac laptops for 10 years now and have gotten very used to the touchpads.

I also replaced a mouse and keyboard. I splurged on a Logitech Master 3S mouse and MX Keys S keyboard. Well worth the money. Very quiet keyboard and they share a LogiBolt USB receiver (or can connect via Bluetooth). I was having some issues with my previous keyboard / mouse combo (mouse was Logitech M510) and it got to the point where I just decided it was time to replace them.
