    This will disabuse anyone from ever suggesting again that I attempt a waltz... a whole minute at the end of the video. :lol:

    While a waltz and a minuet may have some similarities they also have noticeable differences. A minuet is not a waltz...
    Oh, you said minute, not minuet, never mind then. Waltz away.

    The origin of the waltz was the minuet. Both are in three quarter time. Then there's always this.

    @Uncle Willie, you have mentioned you still use EVOD clearos. I do to for some things. Ecigcharleston has them on clearance for $.50 (50 cents!) each!

    Ecigcharleston.com, check the clearance section. Posting a link is not working on my phone.

    Edit:they are in the Deal of the Day section..

    A while back, Gracie (flowersoul) tipped me off to a clearance deal on clone EVODS that actually included a 510 battery as well .. for a buck each .. the shipping was $4.95 for one, so I just kept adding more to my cart until the shipping started going up .. I got 20 kits for $20.00 with $4.95 shipping total .. score .. :)

    Who was I kidding about waiting 'till I got home. I have another new grandkid, Beckett, waiting for me to take more pictures. Ordered from a fav NY vendor, no tax & free shipping. This should be waiting when I get home.

    And to give it a retro look ... this case.

    WOW! That was quite a deal! You should be set for awhile.

    You did it!?!

    I used Adorama. They had just the camera and the camera plus a card, usb drive, cleaning kit, and some s/w for the same price. So I took the bundle, sheesh why not!

    The case I posted was at B&H, Adorama didn't have it.

    I used my REI card ... I get rewards on that card similar to Amazon.

    But, but ... you giving up your beloved S120?

    So you did the black G7X then?

    Gonna be some more camera talk in a few days, eh.

    I usually get stuff from Adorama in about 3 days. They're only 90 miles 'up' the NJ turnpike from me.

    Keeping the S120 seems a little redundant to me, I love it and I've run about 15K pics thru it .. however, I may wait to send it in for the gift card until the new unit arrives just to compare ..

    Canon S120 vs Canon G7X Mark II

    Yep, black G7X .. it's been in my cart for a while .. mathematically, the extra 10% rewards money more than covers the sales tax Amazon gets ..

    Yepper ... pictures sure do accumulate w/ digital cameras. I've got close to 15K in my main library and at least that many organized in folders but not in my photo library. And I can't tell you how many wasted shots from that dang Nikon over the last year of struggling w/ it. I'm really looking forward to this new one.

    I really like my Kabuki's thinking about ordering a couple more from FT. Then I would have to order more Nautilus heads. Only thing I don't like about them is 3ml but they are sure handy to have.

    You asked the initial question, so I'm leaning toward Mike the Enabler ;) .. I suppose we really share it, though .. you were thinking about it, I had been thinking about it .. push came to proverbial shove and voila .. ;)

    I'm pretty ruthless when it come to saving pics .. I know drive space has gotten dirt cheap, but I have this nagging, leftover mindset from the 1980's when 10GIG was a monster .. ;) .. on the Nikon DSLR, I shoot in RAW as well, so they can be some pretty large files .. that, combined with the fact that I am OCD on backups .. I have backups of backups of backups and Cloud Storage ..

    I've told this before, but I'll tell it again .. I started taking photos around 13, when I was stationed in Vietnam, I had an R&R in Tokyo where I bought my first 35mm .. for many, many years, I yearned for my own darkroom, yet never had the drive to go for it .. when we entered the digital age, I was all in immediately .. moving toward better and better printers / cameras, etc .. because, now, I had a "darkroom" on the desk ..

    As commercial pay-for-print got better and better, I decided that a well calibrated monitor and a good printing company is cheaper and better quality than DIY .. heck, these days, even Walmart and Walgreens does a pretty good job ..

    Reading physical books in bed:
    Lean on one side until that side's elbow gets sore from propping you up... lean on the other side until that elbow does the same... lie on your back holding the book up until your arms get tired... lie on your stomach, put the book down onto the floor and lean your head over the edge of the bed to read it, holding it open by reaching down with the arm that's on that side of the be. Rinse and repeat the sequence... variations permissible and sometimes necessary to take advantage of where the light is located.

    Digital photography:
    Tied with the Internet and GPS for the greatest invention ever.

    Hard copies, physical photographs, printouts:
    No more! Free at last!

    I love my little Canon SX600 HS camera. Not as fancy as the one that Mike and Willie each bought; in fact, not as fancy as the other less expensive one they were talking about, but a remarkably capable and pocketable little wonder.
