Yeah, I know what you mean, Sharon. I'm going to play here for a little while then take something for this back and go lay down. I'll let the kids have it for a while.

I hope your back gets better! I can empathize; haven't been down on my back in awhile, but it used to happen all the time.

 

[sm4him]

Oh, yeah - you have to put up a new what is it.

I know. I'm sitting here sipping coffee and trying to make my brain work so I can come up with something to post.

You and the wife gonna do anything interesting with this time off you've got?

 

[snowbear94]

Not really. She has a bunch of use or lose. I think we're going to do some deep cleaning that we've been putting off, but nothing major.

 

[snowbear94]

She's expecting to have some surgery done due to her 30 odd years of typing (carpal and orbital tunnel)

 

[snowbear94]

She has to call the lawyer's office about that on Tuesday (it's being handled through workmen's comp so there are lawyers). It's a game with them

Ugh; I heard that. I'm dealing with that for my medical claim related to the accident last November. We're coming up on the statute of limitations so I want to make sure it gets settled, but of course, the lawyer doesn't really CARE if it goes to court instead, since that means more money for him. It's frustrating. And I just want my jamming money!

The insurance's lawyer (county) gets a hearing scheduled. Miriam gets tests done or goes to an Independent Medical Exam (IME). The results show she has a work-related injury. The insurance lawyers gets the hearing cancelled. Two different IMEs set up by the Insurance CO and both agree that she has a problem.

 

[snowbear94]

Yep. I picked the wrong careers.

But, then again, I can sleep at night.

I hope this darn back isn't too wrenched - I'd really like to get out to the sediment pond and shoot some egrets. It's not raining.

Oh - this is with my McGuivered super-macro. 50mm on the camera, 20mm reverse mounted to it and held together with gaffing tape.

 

[snowbear94]

I set the 20 at f/2.8. Shot handheld, f/5 at 1/8 second - I think the ISO was maxed at 3200.

That's pretty cool.

Okay, I'm about to post a whatsit and then I gotta start reviewing my lesson for this morning. Later.
