^^^ This, to both of the above.

Understood.

Is it OK?

I'm always very careful when running flash and try to minimize it. That generally gives me 5-6 hours most of the time. Prev. gen. 11" MBA.

Sounds like a biscuit moment.

Well, since the last Averna cocktail was pretty fluffy I decided to try Al's Mountain Man modification 2 oz Bulleit Bourbon, 1/2 oz Bonal, 1/2 oz Averna, 2 dashes Bittercube Orange Bitters and a flamed Orange peel as garnish because I still wanted to play with fire. Ahhhh, much better.

Sorry to hear that Ken. Keep well.

Fior di Sicily 3/4 oz Averna amaro 3/4 oz Carpano Antica 3/4 oz Aperol 3/4 oz St. Germain Elderflower liqueur Stir and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a flamed orange peel. Meh, at least I got to play with fire.

That is a nice polo. Peter would like that for his FC jersey collection. Picked up a few things at Binnys that I cannot get locally.

Now you tell me. BTW, thanks for your previous comment about the planer. I must have gone back and forth between the Ridgid and the Dewalt for 2 hours. I finally picked the Ridgid because I liked the color better glad to know there were better reasons. It was a good but tiring day. Should have something in other threads shortly.

Happy Birthday Tony!

I'll queue up for that!

Drove up to Chicago. Picked up some granite. Met Chris(Pars) and had a nice lunch and some excellent conversation. Also picked up his Pedja Rogic DAC for an inhome listen (thanks again Chris). Did a bit of shopping to restock the liquor cabinet at Binnys. Then drove back to Charleston. Now chilling.

Glad you are on the mend Brent. I hope the biscuits were good where your friends took you to eat.

I love my s95. It is plenty small enough and the picture quality is very good. If I really want better I have to break out one of the DSLRs. The way I look at it is that those pictures are once-in-a-lifetime events so I want a camera that I will have with me but that is still capable of taking great pictures in less-than-perfect conditions. If you do decide on the s90/95 make sure to spend the extra bucks on the Franiac grip.

Dark and Stormy 2 oz Gosling's Black Seal Rum 3 oz Gosling's Ginger Beer Dash of Lime Juice Build in a highball glass over ice. Garnish witha lime wedge. Dark and Stormy is nice and tasty.

Just returned from Walmart, where this was parked in the lot Perhaps the hurricane is worse than any of us thought.

Happy Birthday post-pussywillow postjack.

Just my sad smiley for those in the path of Irene.

Needed something to use up the lime juice I squeezed so made a Bennett Cocktail 2 oz gin (North Shore #6) 1 oz lime juice 1/2 oz simple syrup Angostura bitters (to taste) (Bittercube Bolivar 11 drops + 7 drops garnish) Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Great looking pizza Shelly. Those are the only hurricanes I could get into Al, nice. I will toast to the safety of our east coast members with The Fall of Temperance 1.5 oz. Smith and Cross Jamaican Rum 0.5 oz. Gosling's Blackseal Rum. 0.75 oz Fresh Lime Juice. 0.75 oz. Simple Syrup. 13 drops Bittercube Jamaican Bitters #1 Shake the ingredients thoroughly and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with 7 drops of Blackstrap Bitters.

I absolutely love my Nikon 60 mm macro. While it is true you have to be closer to get comparable magnification compared to the 105, it has a better edge to edge flatness of field, less edge aberration and is capable of superior sharpness IMO. My opinion is based upon side-by-side comparisons for imaging of mammalian skulls. I have used it for macro imaging of live subjects capable of movement and have never felt exceptionally hindered by the need to be slightly closer.
