Saw my favorite band (or the lead singer Mark Burgess and other non-original members) The Chameleons last night. Met the guitarist in the Mexican restaurant next door, had a nice chat. Got to meet up with several folks I know from FB-land, one couple came from about 2 hours away! Fun times! After their set, Mark came out and was chatting with a bunch of us at the Merchandise table. I got this idea - having had my son with me to see his two-person live show recently - to ask him to wish my son a happy birthday for next month. Mark was awesome to oblige, and I have a nice video I will send Andrew on his BDay!

The “More-Real” version of Ted Lasso, sort of.

Recently got to go see Arturo Sandoval at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley in Seattle. I posted a pic online and, well, a good bit of the band decided they'd post that picture as well, including the man himself! Then we got to have a performance of Autumn Leaves by Deeds/Deedles/Diane Schuur (if anyone knows/of her). First time at that jazz club, and won't be my last.

Ping-ponged up a sign out of HDU for a friend.

Pretty hilarious marketing stunt there. Quite enjoying the Pixel 7 Pro I picked up recently. It's nice finally having AF on the UWA lens of a smartphone.

Someone on the Boston Bruins hockey forum posts the Peanuts "dance" video after wins, and someone replied with this alternate version....methinks @dsavitsk might like and/or have seen this. EDIT: and there's a Dead Kennedy's version as well 😊

A guy down the street is doing a permeable gravel driveway with these plastic hex squares that get secured down with pegs in a grid. Not sure if that is what you meant but check out similar systems if you are looking to hold loose rock in place.

Had to take advantage of the buy two batteries for $199 get a free $229 router that Dewalt is doing now.

Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer and Zakir Hussain’s The Melody of Rhythm

Speaking of Fuji https://petapixel.com/2022/11/01/used-fujifilm-x100-series-camera-prices-are-surging-thanks-to-tiktok/

Agreed on all counts.

I got a free 36vt. 16" chainsaw, and 36vt. blower from the same deals with Makita. Love those! The DeWalt trim router is really nice! My corded version is now in Al's shop.

Occasionally photography ads can be fun...

Absitively, Posilutely!

Looks fun lit up with the more traditional jack o lanterns.

The stage is cloaked in mystery, or at least a red fog, before the Stromae concert begins. Here with Claire, Sophie and her gf Ella.

Leica Revives the M6, a 35mm Film Camera it Hasn’t Produced Since 2002. It will certainly age better than the digital bodies.

Looks nice! Me running into massive water drainage issues with my backyard project and fortunately got so good rain to test things out (spoiler they failed). Also, learned drain pipe comes in either small or really large (100’) lengths - of course I needed the 100’ section to get the right lengths.
