You know I have not heard from Colin in a while...

I decided to not crop and let the center point just be off. Yashicamat is hard to get centered photos with. I find it charming. expired portra. About 10 years.

The Benchmark 3 is what I want, but budget doesn’t allow.

Maybe rearranging my desk to fit a PerfectWave 2 (which I used to own) is the way to go. That ain’t gonna fit on my desk :)

RIP Louise Vincent, Drug User Who Led Harm Reduction Movement “The idea is that we need to care about people who use drugs, whether they use drugs or not.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/health/louise-vincent-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.oU8.Npj8.H-0PSTRpNPv8&smid=url-share (gift article) https://www.nprillinois.org/2023-11-19/one-womans-controversial-fight-to-make-america-accept-drug-users-for-who-they-are

Hostage A kinetic UK based political thriller. Accept the premise, and don't think/look too hard for plot implausibilities and you'll be treated to an enjoyable ride, with episode ending twists / reveals / cliffhangers to keep you involved. Good Fun. But don't take my word for it. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/aug/21/hostage-review-suranne-jones-prime-minister-netflix-drama

Anyone else holding off on bathroom visits?

Holy shitballs....I HAD heard of these guys but totally forgot about them until a FB friend posted about them being at Riotfest.

^ in my queue.. good to hear it seems to be worthy.

Churchwarden Afternoon Google AI thinks this And whatever this is. _storage_emulated_0_DCIM_Google Photos_20250922_163228-VIDEO_GEN.mp4 What am I chewing and it thinks I am married?

Sarah McLachlan - Better Broken. I have been a fan since since her fist album, but at times she has been very dramatic for my taste; I think she has great passion but at times it seems TOO much. But anyone who supports animals so much is fine by me! Her latest is a very good listen; she brings the passion still, and this one is almost all great. Lovely lady, lovely listen.

The high rate of attrition in RTing's long-term CNN torture test makes me leery of buying new televisions:

Finding Peter Putnam: The forgotten janitor who discovered the logic of the mind https://nautil.us/finding-peter-putnam-1218035/ It’s easy to say why someone is wrong. The hard part is figuring out why they’re right.

Feel the heat Disney!

Any circle hole cutting involved?

It was perhaps the perfect day/evening to ride today. Low 60s, sunny, light winds. This is the N+1 bike. I tried to just buy a spare set of wheels and this guy, who was 15 minutes from the house, offered me an entire bike for a few hundred more than the wheelset that it had on it (Zipp 303s). So the Canyon has been adopted for trainer use but today it was the bike that had road wheels on it and it was too nice out not to go for a rip. Traffic was problematic. This lot cost me a PR on a segment, but I didn't mind.

Rebuilt my in-laws garage door opener. After 40 years the plastic drive gear had perished. So I hopped on Amazon (some time ago) and ordered the replacement part for all of $20. An hour of fiddling and it's back working.

Well today we drove to Napa and went to a winery that he orders from regularly. Tasted some good wines, ate some good food and had some good conversation. Hard to beat that. He even fell in love with my dog Maki, who traveled in the car with us.
