Same here. I had a bad night; tossed and turned the whole night. Sometimes I'd rather I not be able to sleep at all than wake up every 20 minutes. :dispirited:

Isn't that why Netflix was invented?

Good thing they didn't try the underwater birthing method.

Many years ago, we were driving along and saw a 10-wheeler crane towing a standard pickup-based tow truck. My father, without hesitation said "LOOK! That tow truck had a baby!"

Hi Hosers! I've been a bit MIA lately. Crazy time of year at work, kicking off the softball season, daughter joined a volleyball league, spring cleaning, annual doctor visits for all, family in from out of town, fundraising for my favorite cause, attending political events, volunteering at school events, personal chauffeur for the daughter... I'm exhausted! I don't mind being busy but lately it's been "crazy busy" which I hate and usually I will not over commit like this. It's going to be a full court press until schools out mid June.

And, to further tick me off, those bastards are talking about more snow!!!!

@jcdeboever was so kind to send me the Nikon N75 he had laying around, and he ended up sending a 70-300mm lens too. At some point, I'll get a roll of film shot and processed from the camera to share, but we finally had a nice day here, and I threw the lens on my D600 to get some shots with it.

Thanks again, JC!

My daughter is definitely ready for spring so she can play outside... D600, 140mm, F8, 1/1000s, ISO 140.

Some of the neighborhood kids were on the court next door...I'm terrible at anticipating this type of thing, especially because I didn't wand to be too conspicuous. D600, 270mm, F8, 1/1000, ISO 500.

I survived the interview. We'll see how I did in a few days.
Nailing down dates for a trip to New England.

Not bad for a $20 lens. I never tried it on my D7200 when I had it. I actually forgot about both until I organized my camera gear. Glad you can make use of it. I was paying forward Gary's generosity.

Update your maps program

Orange barrel season? Heck I didn't need that note to let me know it was construction season. 7:30 this morning my concrete guys were here tearing out my old driveway. They are pouring me a whole new 30' wide driveway, straightening it out and already poured a sidewalk around the garage as well as adding an additional pad behind the garage. The have formed the driveway. In the morning they will put in additional sand pack it all good and pour in the afternoon.

In the midst of that the new living room furniture was delivered. Fortunately the roofers had to postpone the skylight replacement till next week. With all the people I've had here today Orange barrels would have just been in the way.
