The Coffee House

Just found out my oldest nephew is moving to San Diego area in 3 weeks! Not the nephew that is currently in San Juan Capistrano teaching, hell be back mid August and will finish school this year in MA before moving to CA himself.
This is one of my other nephews, family nickname #1. It's a good move for him with a job and apartment all lined up but we'll miss him terribly. Get ready @GaryA for the invasion of the New Englanders.

No! No! No! There is already too many peoples in California. Why can't you people stay put? Or at best, come on in, clog up our freeways, leave your coin, then go home!

As he is a relative of yours ... then maybe we'll make an exception. Gary will call up Sacramento and tell them #1 is oaky ... but none of this Patriot/Celtic/Red Sox/Bruin crap ... that baggage stops stays at the border.

One of the first things we talked about after he told me he was moving was getting the mlb package on his phone so he could watch the Sox., lol.

love the mlb package and mlb statcast. I am such a baseball nerd... I watch a lot of baseball, many teams.

I hate to say it but butt chin dombrowski irritates me and has made me a hater of the red stockings. I only love JD Martinez and DD put it to that guy. Sorry to say he has quickly dismantled your farm system, just like he did in Detroit. I don't like the mental makeup of your impressive team. Right now, I have Cleveland vs LA Dodgers in the World Series, Dodgers in 6. A lot can change though, with trades looming large.

I think JC hates the AL East.

The Sox are on pace for 112 wins, and the Yankees are on pace to win 107.

(But Price pukes on his Nikes every time he takes the hill in October, and Porcello isn’t much better. I get the rationale, haha)

Well it is now very hot out as me and Susie had a good long walk and just chilled out in the shade under a tree.

Gary- I noticed the King Tut pics were on an iphone. Were the photo limitations you mentioned greater than hoped (or maybe the knee injury changed the plans- hope you are recovering)? I am not knocking the iPhone- I have gotten some great pics on them, and I suspect it may be one of the most effective street cameras (they do not draw attention).

The only limitations on cameras is not to be a jerk and interfere with the viewing by others (no tripods, lights, et cetera). Gary took his XP2 w/50-140 f/2.8 and a Zeiss 32mm f/1.8. Gary is pretty slow on the processing, hence the iPhone.

5.15 hours today. My truck wouldn't even THINK of starting this morning. So I drove the expired in May Mitsubishi to work.
I have to go to Livingston to get dog food and pictures printed and I'm going to go home and get the truck going for that trip.

I am not a fan of Price as a pitcher, especially in October. He was, however, very nice when he did some volunteering for the charity that my brother and sister-in-law run.

The Zeiss 32mm f/1.8 sounds really nice. I have an adapted Carl Zeiss 50mm f1.8 Ultron (came with my first SLR I bought let's say many years ago and re-invigorated for my second half of life photography), but it is completely manual (and not a normal lens on my Fuji XT-2). It has its strengths (bokeh), but is not as fun to shoot with as a modern lens.

Just looking at eh Zeiss web site, the 2.8/12 also looks interesting. On the other hand, I think my next Fuji lens ay be the 10-24 (currently I only have the 18-55, but it is pretty adequate all around).

 

[Gary A.]

Should Gary ask for a refund?

The Zeiss is automatic with a Fuji mount.

Yes, that is my point. It is a Zeiss, but has the modern conveniences.

yup, that's what I don't like about them. Betts is one heck of a player, maybe the best or really close to Trout.
