My X-T2 is being shipped tomorrow. I found a graphite version on the Fuji swap for $1075. When does the cult meet?

The first rule of the Fuji cult, I mean club, is that we don't talk about anything else except the Fuji club.


ETA ooooh graphite? And a brewery? And in a band? A triple hipster!

Le sigh.

Brief but violent storm front blew through the area around 4ish. A couple of tornadoes in some areas and a bunch of trees down. No power at Casa Leo

Temps are trending up. Was 60 going up to 80. Now upper 60s/low 70s going to 90.
Pretty fair mug of coffee to try and understand.

Sorry to hear, Leo.
Hmm Brewery Meetup in CT - that could work. Hopefully my other schedule would agree: Maine trip at the end of this month, State Fireman's Convention next month, Ohio Python Convention in July, and Towson Univ GIS Conference in August.

Little cooler for us today after the pop up storm yesterday evening. Maybe we'll get another today, we could use the rain. Getting a little dry here. I've been cutting down a bank, and leveling a couple acres next to the road at our drive. When I ran the finish harrow over the area in preparation for seeding, the heat and dry weather must have caused the "rock seeds" to POP. I now have a littered field of rocks! So rather then seeding today I'll be hooking up to the rock rake to try and clean up.

This woman is from my town and this is a path in the neighboring town that the dog and I walk alone all the time - although we usually stick to late afternoon due to there being more people around at that time.

Woman walking dog in Saugus escapes wild coyotes by climbing a tree - The Boston Globe

She left the dog at the base of the tree?

Right! I would have been trying to climb the tree with the dog stuffed down my shirt, lol.

Exactly! Even if it were a 150 pound dog, I’d be down there in front of it screaming and making myself look weird to those coyotes. No way would they have access to my dog without getting through me!

Coyotes at least around here are opportunistic and will avoid humans at all cost. I've had packs come up on my deer stand, and run as soon as they were aware of me. We're to far south for wolfs, so I have no experience with them, but have to wonder if the encounter was with a wild dog, or possibly a wolf.

My neighbors dog was off leash on a path in that same area a few years ago and he heard a "dog fight" and ran over to find his dog wounded from a coyote that he had to scare off. They are very prevalent around here and getting bolder and bolder in the past few years. Lots of speculation that the increase in coyote sightings (in people's yards during the day and all over the place at night) is due to the bunny explosion we are having. No exaggeration at all to say that you see several wild bunnies every time you go outside in this city. It's not unusual for there to be 3 or 4 of them who scatter when we open the door to let the dog out. The streets at night are like a game of frogger with the bunnies and coyotes all over the place. My friend let her dog out back the other night and when she called him in, he had a baby bunny in his mouth. Gross!

On the happy wildlife news front, our local swans have had a litter (?) of 7 babies and I'll be trying to catch them for a photo op on their maiden trip out of the nest later this week!

Internet question of the day: Shall I open the e-mail (w/ PDF attachment) entitled, "X-Rated Content - Men over 30 only!" as well, apparently I need to re-enter my Net Flix payment information. Since I don't have a Net Flix account, it should be okay to enter the information, right?

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Mary Lou, Maggie and Gary are in Solvang. Solvang is this weird little Danish tourist trap town in the Santa Ynez Valley, home to Santa Barbara County wine country. The weather has been wonderfully perfect. 47F presently, early in the morning, but it should top off at 70F+. Between coastal Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley is the San Marcos Pass. In the pass is an old stage coach station, Cold Springs Tavern, which is now a restaurant serving some great eats. We grabbed a tri-tip sandwich and a pork belly sandwich to go and consumed them on the lawn at Firestone Winery.

It was pure pleasure driving on a winding road, top down, through rolling hills of vineyards and oaks, the sun on our faces and the wind at our backs.

First you must take this call from childlike sounding "Elizabeth" who is calling with important information about your credit card accounts.

Oops, almost forgot about that!

Gary has tons of bunnies (wild and feral) and tons of coyotes. Leaving for very early morning walks, The Cook and Gary always ran into coyotes. The coyotes always eyed Cook, measuring her up as an easy breakfast or too big and not worth the hassle. One night Mary Lou saw a dog jogging down the middle of the street. She pulled along side and opened her door calling to the dog in an attempt to secure the pooch and find the owner. It was a coyote.
