I realized the other month that I haven't touched my DSLR in almost a year and have taken (in my opinion) some perfectly wonderful photos. So I'm in the camp that says ~90% of the time the phone is all you'll need and a good chunk of that is because the phone will always be with you. There's no camera that can be there when it isn't there, you know? I do look forward to replacing my phone (iPhone 6) with something a little better and admit to being drawn to the 7+ specifically for it's camera. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I've gotten to a place where I'll only use my phone as a camera but it's closer than I imagined it'd be 5 years ago and wouldn't be surprised if we're pretty much there in less than 5. Shooting sports is about the only place I think to bring the big rig and most days it just doesn't happen.

Looks good, G. Much less water and process involved in what I've got going on.

Bummer Shelly, but like you said, there's literally another one around the corner.

Here's to hoping, Jacob!

Happy Birthday!

Congrat, Shelly! That did and sounds like it will continue to move fast.

Happy birthday, Mike! I like Al's mixed metaphor.

Happy birthday, Birgir!

This!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Justin!

Got out of work early enough to sneak in a MTB ride.

Good luck, Jacob. It's past time something broke your way.

Happy belated, David!

No, his name is Shawn. I've had relatively few flats in my time in the saddle and hope the trend continues.

Jeff, Have you check to make sure that the rim tape is intact? I had a friend get something like 6 flats in 15 miles due to an issue like that. He eventually just threw his bike in the woods and walked away - he did go back and get it later...

Happy Birthday, Kerry!

Went out for a quick spin on the MTB today on the trails behind my house. A neighbor pointed me to a new section, which is a hoot. Good news is that the test of the 1x10 conversion that I had done last week went without a hitch.

My 2c, I ditched my iPad nearly a year ago and rarely have looked back. About the only time I want a tablet is when I'm on a plane and it's during those brief moments when the flight staff won't allow for the use of anything other than "portable electronic devices". I've started transitioning to using my phone in those times to further eliminate the use case for a tablet and the past two times I've traveled it's worked well enough. #firstworldproblems

Happy Birthday!

Steak just came off the grill and into the oven (in the cast iron skillet). Shrimp and home-grown asparagus will go on shortly.

Happy Birthday, Brent!

RIP to Mr. Moore. Back in the day when TBS would do 7 days of 007 I would tape every one they showed and watch them until the next marathon. RIP to the victims of the Manchester bombing. Sadness beyond words.

Happy Birthday, Raffy! I hope you had a few more of those white-labeled cans kicking around.
