The Coffee House

No pie. Ate too much Turkey etc and never had room for it. Now another work day is upon me. Here at work at least 10 minutes before there is a reasonable chance someone will open up. I can fool around by arriving early. No way to fix late.

I might have dropped my D600 on a set of fieldstone stairs today.

Bad for her. But good for you. The D600 used price for barely used units is at a historic low and your insurance will probably reimburse the amount you have paid for her in the past. Good camera. But the D500 is better in many respects.

Admins: another ad on this page ran bad and made my whole screen blink in black and white!!!

D500 with grip same price as Black Friday last year: 1800 bucks. I did pay 2700€ for her and did never regret that purchase

"Might have"?

Damaged?

Not enough, no

Tbe battery cover flew off, and there’s a pretty solid scuff/gouge above the battery cover. The camera and lens function perfectly though. (So my upgrade will have to wait).

If it needs any duct tape ... congratulations, you have graduated into the pro ranks. (And your images will significantly improve.)

I mean, yes...some black duct tape to make sure the battery door stays on, probably.

It gave me a good scare, and as I have several photo sessions booked this weekend, it brings home the idea of a second body. The problem, of course, is whether to get another D600 on the cheap, or to convince my wife that I'd rather have my main body be something fancier (D800/810 most likely, or perhaps a D750). A brand new D750 with battery grip today is $1400. Still can't really justify it though. Maybe if I decide to start charging, but I'm a ways away from that.

That looks beautiful! The best way to get good pumpkin pie is to get that roasted deliciousness - just very time consuming, especially separating the seeds and all. Terrific!

I'm doing well when I peel and core 5-6 apples for my apple pie. For my cherry pie, I open a can of pitted tart cherries packed in water (not syrup!) - definitely the biggest time saver.

But always, always crust from scratch, of course. That's actually the easiest part.

Bravo!

Not with the duct tape ...

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary survived yesterday by getting the BBQ fired up ... then bank to bed. Getting the turkey prepped and tossed into the BBQ ... then back to bed. Getting the potatoes mashed, then back to bed. Et cetera. Guests knew I was sick, but came over anyway. Maggie was a big hit entertaining all. Gary made it about 3/4 of the way through dinner, then back to bed. Cooking the turkey in the Kamado freed the oven for the ham and stuff. Worked out well. BTW- Those square plates hold a lot more than a comparatively sized round plate.

Buenas Dias Gary! Dave had 5.5 hours.
Mopping etc. Now home. Contemplating life.

Sorry you were sick Gary, sounds lousy. I've been a bit under the weather with the respiratory stuff. But we have a small family so it's just dinner and card/game playing after, but I passed on that til Christmas, then I'll get in on a good game of Rummy Royal.

Leo when you make a pie, you make a pie!

Get well @Gary A. . Thanksgiving was wonderful. 24 people, 5 dogs, 1 cat, no human pee'd in the closet or showed their tuchus ...win. I didn't pig out at all. I did eat some pumpkin pie. Just a little turkey, dressing, and yams.

Shot 4 short rolls of TriX today in downtown Jackson, walked 7.2 miles according to fitbit. Really trying to dial in the visual understanding of pushing, pulling, and developing.

An old friend called me from Detroit and said he has a camera he wants to sell me. Looks like a Voightlander Bessa 2, 6x9 in pretty good order. He knows nothing about it other than it was his grandpa's. Really need to check it out though. I don't need another camera but if it's in good order and reasonable, I may do it.

 

[vintagesnaps]

You mean the older Bessa II? or the more recent R2?

I like Voigtlanders. Get it, whichever it is! lol

 

[davidharmier60]

I just made a duct tape cover for my AE-1.
Bothered me that dust could get in there.
Sure wish I had a 20, 30 or 40D....

Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary are having a Netflix, couch potato day, recovering from yesterday.
