What's init?

We've been having wifi issues throughout the house, so new router (one of those "mesh networks" comprised of a couple smaller nodes that work together). Seems to be working well enough.. time will tell.

I hate to say it but it doesn't look like a good package job for what it's worth.

I would estimate that I could fit at least 8, maybe 10, of the router boxes within the shipping box. It was ridiculously over-sized. The only packing material included two sheets of bubble wrap thrown into the shipping box.

So, I partly blame the shipping company (because no package should end up at my door like that), but also partly blame Best Buy for their bad packaging.

It might have been some high tech airbag concept behind the packaging....

Another trip completed. Battling a headache with a pint of Brewster's Cherry Vanilla.

Buenas Tardes Coffee Hosers. This has been a rough week. Gary's cousin had a stroke and has been in intensive care for two weeks. Seems he may be over the hump and finally on the road to a long recovery.

Last night, while at the Bowl (Herbie Hancock and Kamasi Washington), texts and phones calls came streaming. Gary's good friend, photographer and physician, had a heart attack. Tom is young (mid-40's) and had an attack while on a bike ride. His life was most likely saved because the attack hit while passing a fire station ... and because he was riding with a cycling group he founded comprising of Huntington Hospital employees.

Gary is now flipping between hospitals. It's been a tough week and there are three days to go.

@ JC: Man, Hill almost made history. Huge story with a huge image of Hill on the front page of the Sports section in the LA Times. Great photo of Hill, long lens with a very tight crop. Full of drama, just like the game.

I'm so sorry, Tio I hope both your cousin and your friend continue to get stronger and better.

Recently had their black raspberry. I don't know what took me so long to try it! Delicious!

Gary, your cousin and friend are in my prayers. I'm believing for a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear this. Prayers and thoughts going your way.

Thank you all, for your thoughts and prayers.

Hosers! TGIFF!

@Gary A. sorry to hear all of the bad things that are going on in your world right now.

@snowbear hope your headache has gone.

What's everyone up to this weekend? I find myself unexpectedly free of obligations!!!! Princess was invited last minute to the Cape with a friend's family, the house and yard are in good shape and fall softball season doesn't start until 9/9. And I think I might be all set with the beach until next year. Weather here is expected to be slightly cool at 70's and sunny. What to do, what to do????? Need some late summer shooting ideas. I'm meeting friends tonight for some dancing to one of our favorite bands so no sunrise shoots tomorrow but otherwise I'm open to suggestions.

Morning all. What a great day, it's Saturday, the sun is shining, and more importantly it's only 7 more days till FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTH starts with Alabama vs Florida State. Or to be more exact 183 hrs and counting down. What an exciting way to start the season!!!

 

[smoke665]

@Gary A. missed your post earlier. Sorry to hear of the health issues of your cousin and friend. Prayers for both that recovery will be speedy.
