 |  An attempt at creating a daily blog. |
| I'm hoping I can turn this into a daily repository of random and not so random musings of my daily activities. Perhaps it will gel into a common thread that I may be able to work towards creating something interesting. |
| I've been wanting a new lens for my newest camera. It's a mirrorless so my current lenses need an adapter to fit. The new lenses made for the mirrorless cameras are actually a smidge clearer and they focus faster. And they don't need the adapter. Lenses are not inexpensive. I have a big lens that I rarely use. It's bulky and not exactly light weight. I tried to borrow some money from my son to get the lens I want but he said no dice, sell some of what I already have. This started the gears turning. There is a site on the internet that buys and sells photography equipment so I sent them a note, told them what I have and asked for a quote. They gave me a ridiculously low figure. I nicely (a rarity) sent a response that it was way too low so they sent the information to another person. They asked me for the exact model and wanted a picture. I did that and they came back with a substantially larger figure. I accepted and they sent me shipping labels to print and it will go to get shipped tomorrow. Then, I should be able to get 2 lenses and if I'm lucky, I'll have enough left over for a cup of coffee! Doctor appointment in the morning with a new doctor. I'm not exactly sure where the clinic is so I need to leave a bit early. Plus, it will be rush hour traffic. Once that is complete, I can take my lens to the shipping/packing place and get it sent off. I had to wrangle around my days to head to the Blueridge. Lodging rates varied substantially depending on what days so instead of leaving Friday, I'll leave Sunday. I have an appointment Friday morning so I was going to end up getting a late start but by leaving on Sunday, I can start out early. That should work out well. That's a wrap for today. |

It is nice to see someone here with similar background interests. I too like to ride my adult tricycle, spent time on Guam Island in 1968, and held a ham radio license. I was known as The Stork because I was an RN in surgery in charge of the OB/GYN Department. Hubby was known as The Bodyman{/] because he repaired and painted car bodies, and my son was known as 10 Speed. What better way to describe a teenage boy.
