Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary is scanning the morning paper checking out who won and who lost in yesterday's primary. A lifetime ago, Gary used to run political campaigns, like JonA_CT, he'd get little to no sleep the week leading up to election day. The good ol' days.

@Fujidave: you mentioned having a before lunch "brew" is that a hot beverage brew ... or a brew as in a "Pint" or a "Brewski"?

Just got back from a lovely day with mum, had lunch then a mooch ( Walk ) around town. @Gary A. A brew is a cup/mug of Tea or Coffee. I have tea as find it more refreshing.

On a great note, my mum said, keep both your cameras and practice and learn more as you don`t need another camera, but we can sort out a lens to get instead. So now I have to think of just one of these lenses.

XF90mm
XF56mm
XF16mm.

I think I'm finally recovered from my trip to CO.

In the past week, I've been averaging about 4 hours or less of sleep due to a variety of factors. (Flights, jet lag, time at the bar, kids being awake 50,000 times, etc). We went to bed at like 7:30 last night, and our kids slept the entire night. Now I feel like asuper hero.

CO was a great time. We took care of the business aspect, and we got some time at some world class breweries, too. We even squeezed in a hike to the top a relatively modest 7600 foot mountain.

(iPhone pics...my camera battery died 1 mile from the trail head...you know, where my spare batteries were safely stored)

Two great shots, but that first is just stunning.

16 is a killer lens, really special. Very handy. Close focus, fast. Fantastic micro contrast. Pin sharp. Very creative lens. I two gun mine with the 80. Great for street. Great bokeh, smooth as silk

Am I right inthinking the 16mm is also the lightest of those 3 ?

Not sure. Its chunky. Get the square lens hood as well so you look cool. The petal one is not sexy at all.

Took the wife to med care station this morning. Her one eye is swelled shut the other one close to being there. She has pink eye in both eyes. She gets those eyelash thingies, that woman do, wonder if it was from that? Anyway, she's miserable. I'll be washing my hands a lot. Got golf lesson last night and learned a lot from the son in law, he is a scratch golfer. He said there is nothing wrong with my swing but my legs were too close together, causing excessive movement. He made me open my legs wider than my shoulders, straight down the middle now. Showed me a trick on pitching up on flat greens, use my 9 iron to roll in up to pin as opposed to gap wedge. Tonight we are working on my pitching with loft, and putting. He has a mirror thingy to check my alignment. I shot pretty good Monday night but I need to find consistency. He also taught me that I don't need to use a driver on many holes, think about playing safe and getting a good second shot. He said I have so much power, that using a driver will often hinder me into difficult second shots if I skunk the drive.

Um, what are "eye lash thingies" that we women supposedly do?

They are long and put on individually. One lash at a time. They do make her eyes pop.

Looking on Wex 90mm is 540g 56mm is 405 and the lightest is the 16mm at 375, now that I do like to see.

Oh. So false eyelashes but not the kind that come in one strip.

(PS - it's not really a thing that "women do." Some do. Most don't.)

Right. She is gone a while. Once a month I believe. She does the manicure, pedicure, hair thing as well. And massages too. I bought her an all day spa thing recently, she loves those. They do all the things I mentioned plus more. Face peels, massages, hot rocks, oils, steam bath, etc.

Take care, Smoke. I had a pneumonia shot (even though I'm not at the age yet and need a script from the Dr., but it was her idea in the first place! lol). So anyway, there's a new booster shot I'm supposed to get, to work on newer strains of pneumonia. I think it might be similar to a flu shot that even if you get it, you should have a milder case. Hope yours isn't too bad and you're better soon.

Oh, pinkeye... having worked with kids I've seen my share of pink bunny eyes! and had it myself. It's supposedly very contagious. Hope you don't get it JC and your wife's gets better soon.

Been waiting for the grass cutting, which I don't do! but saw his truck arrive so once that's done it should help put more fresh cut grass into the breeze with the pollen - whoo hoo! Would like to open windows since it got cool but left the AC on. Started again with the respiratory stuff, just one side of my nose stuffed up, but this is the third time around! Nothing new for me and after that spring snow everything was blooming so fast I think we got a pollen overload.

The weather forecast showed the weather is delightful. Yeah, if you can breathe thru your nose maybe! lol So the plan is to get a pot of chicken going...

Yeah I don't see most women with false eyelashes. My boss tried them once because we have a customer that has a beauty shop, but she said they were kind of awkward especially when she slept.

I just assumed a lot do it. My mother in law, daughter in law, woman at church, etc. do it, so I thought it was a big thing. My mom doesn't do any of that, she is very traditional, she doesn't even go to a beauty salon, I think she BoRic's it.

 

[vintagesnaps]

I don't know exactly what they do at a salon/spa when they do eyelashes. And I don't really want to know, I don't even like the thought of it. All I remember is those strip thingies Leo mentioned! lol The most I do is a little mascara if I'm going someplace mascara worthy, which isn't often. With this respiratory stuff, forget it.

edit - My box o' goodies & gourmet groceries arrived, the drunken goat cheese I ordered is here. A drunken goat doesn't come with it.
