Salt Peanuts

Around here, we can start using our lawn/garden equipment starting at 7am, though I haven't heard anyone start that early. Most gas-powered leaf blowers don't actually comply with many local noise ordinances, thought I suspect enforcement of said ordinance is lacking.

Few shirts and a new pair of jeans. I hate shopping for clothes.

^ Not when you live next to a state forest to blow the leaves into. Also, even if you need to pick them up, much easier/quicker to blow them onto a tarp with a leaf blower in my experience.

That's what I do in the backyard.

Spent the last two hours blowing leaves off my front yard. The leaf blower was definitely a money well spent.

...and they are going to 18 games.

Mmmm, new shiny Stax. It's a good thing I'm broke.

At least you're still above .500. I'd be happy if I can get to .500 by the end of the year.

Nice shots, Jeff. I especially like the last monkey one. I wish I had one (along with a new bag so 70-200 would fit).

Damnit, it looks like Rodgers might not make it next week. Whether or not he's out next week, I hope his concussion isn't severe for his sake. It really isn't pleasant.

Speaking of Jeff, check out his bench - damn.

It looks like I have a decent chance for my first win this week. Of course, Brent did forget to replace Cutler on his lineup so that helps.

Argh, I really need to go out and take some pics, especially since the weather's cooperating this weekend for a change. I looked up the dimension on 24-70 since I've never handled one before and the lens weighs more than gripped 50D. Of course, 85LII, the lens I'd love to try someday, weighs even more.

Internal 3TB drives haven't come out yet, supposedly by end of the year. They may also be waiting for the software side to catch up, since 3TB partition probably would cause issues with some of the OS out there.

I'm actually tempted to grab myself a TTVJ slim since it would be a better pair with iPod/touch/iPhone (form factor wise). Either that or grab a nano to pair with Pico slim (assuming I get get a non-jack-breaking low-profile LOD).

x2. If you want to use an online backup service, I wouldn't make that your primary backup.

TTVJ slim also has a neat LED volume indicator. Another thing is that Pico Slim is really tiny, bit too small for me since I use mine with iPod classic/touch/iPhone. TTVJ slim is about the size of a iPod classic.

That was my thought as well. Okay, back to trying put my daughter to sleep.

Yet another reason for you not to get customs (at least JH13s), Reks.

~4-5 ft of height is a decent distance for something to fall. There have also been others over on HF whose JH13s suffered a similar fate.
