Good morning, peeps. We had some heavy weather last night with some pretty close lightening strikes. Let's hope this was the only danger from lightening to DC - we are really, really hoping the Caps can get to the finals.

Us too. Tons of rain. A little hail. Big storms last couple days. Golf course is a lake, bad. Caps are gonna go all the way, I can't see anyone stopping them. Tampa was the only team that I could see giving them trouble but it seems like it's not in the cards.

I wanted to get tickets for game three or four but there's no way - starting price for two is about the same as a Fuji X-T20 body.

Yesterday was a travel day for us, 7 hours to the house. Despite no rain while we were gone the yard looks like it could be mowed for hay. Laundry, and several maintenance projects are going to keep me busy this week. On the good side I have a couple of light modifiers inbound that should be here by the end of the week.

Morning ruminations...

1. The people who run Facebook buy and sell pages have got to be some of the nitpickiest people I've ever had the experience in dealing with.

2. It's the quickest I've gotten hits on gear I've had to sell ever.

Seriously. Almost $900 of offers in 45 minutes.

I'm off to chase the elusive Walleye for the next 5 days. Notice how I didn't say catch. Their are times you can't find them even with scuba gear. Lol.

Bringing the S8630 with. Usually cold wet and miserable. This year looks to be nicer. Might even get some decent photos.

Wish I'd known earlier I would have made a run to Birmingham to try and grab an extras slot. :allteeth:

Streets, places closed for 'Live' movie filming in Birmingham Years ago they filmed parts of the movie "Failure To Launch" here in Gadsden, and prior to that "Kent State".

I am watching the weather as we have a game tonight and we can't really handle any more rain outs. The schedule is getting tight! Lots of events at the end of the school year and not enough dates to go around to reschedule all of these missed games! As the league scheduler, I'm going nuts!!!!

Are you using NRDG - Nikon Buy & Sell Group? I bought my Lensbaby Velvet through that group. I wish I had found it when I was selling my Nikon stuff!!!!!! Didn't stumble across it until I had sold 90% of my stuff via Craigslist or forums.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Just perrfect days out here. Low 's, enough of a breeze to flutter the leaves, cool mornings and evenings. Today Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary are off to the Santa Barbara County wine country for a few days.

Yes. Sweet Jesus. I've had hits on everything now but my 15mm prime and my 50mm prime. It looks like i'm going to do $2K+ by this afternoon.

EDIT: And that's with ZERO haggling. I guess it probably means I set fair prices too.

Gary A. · May 15, 2018

This appeared in yesterday's LA Times. Gary is totally surprised by many facts:

"Hear them roar: Trojans win title"

"The two best women's water polo teams in the country do not like one another. The distain USC and Stanford share is a natural development, considering they are the only schools that have won a national championship in the last nine years.

This was the only way the 2018 season could end, with the Trojans and Cardinal seemingly trying to tear each other apart, limb by limb, for 32 minutes. Their NCAA semifinal match last year, won by Stanford, set the tome. In that one, USC center Brigitta Games had two ribs broken in the second quarter, rendering her ineffective the rest of the match"

Good Lord this is swimming. LOL

I believe there's a feedback thread to check for people who have had good transactions with other members. I remember posting about the seller when I bought a lens there. Also it's nice that you can see a person's facebook page if they are public and confirm that they are a real person. My seller was a bit nervous about our deal and I made my Facebook public so he could see it and also gave him this site as a reference if he wanted to check up on me.
