is to ride my bike
Many thanks
To the crystal lake casual riders for having me out last night. And mark matula for having me out and guiding my way.

that was fun
many thanks for allowing me to ride. It’s been far too long. Hopefully that’ll be the spark.
You know J
If your employee wasn’t such a stickler or the rules, you’d still have me as a customer
Clipsed out
until 2045. I’ll have to hone my astrophotography skills before then. Plenty of time to practice.
It was f***ing awesome
Mind blowing as usual. not as much as the solar minimum eclipse of 2017. Nothing will ever top your first total eclipse. This one was neat AF too. We saw a solar eruption of sorts. I saw a red dot on the eclipse. Unfortunately the photos don’t show it, but I assure you, I witnessed it with my own eyes.
And now, what all that insufferable traffic was all about. The main show: the eclipsed sun as captured by my D3100 and my biggest lens, a 300MM telephoto.
Even though it wasn’t our first totality (we were in Carbondale for the 2017 one), it was mindbogglingly neat and I hope all of my children carry it through their lifetimes. My wife and I remember a partial eclipse from our early school days, but those were early memories.
D’OH, the proof has gone missing : ( Seriously though, I saw it! No. Here is some additional info.
more eclipse pics coming
after i get the DSLR pics uploaded (with Jupiter making an apperance in the samsung + solar glasses photos)
OMG
In a mere 6 months from my inception day, I’ll be statistically closer to 50 than 40. Total FML facepalm moment.
My server
Is running much cooler with the new HSF installed. Dropped almost 30 degrees C. The only problem will be creating a cover for my monstrosity.
Has the pandemic ended
I’m well past it, after my entire family contracted it (we all survived). I do know of people, good people, that were lost, and for which this planet is worse off. Too bad, and while I always wondered what a pandemic would look like when I was younger, I think this planed would have been better off not knowing.
