Can’t wait to get into more macro photography. I never understood focus stacking much though. I’m sure I could figure it out. Better put, I probably have figured it out and just don’t remember :yawn: I have to sell my current camera body though, the new one comes out next month and the current rendition has a bad button layout that is expected to be changed in the new version. Idk though, maybe I’ll keep it and get a new one, it’s sentimental. I just need one more camera. Just one more.

Okay that is good enough for me, I will keep on posting. :)

Yes, please do! I look forward to seeing your posts.
The funny thing for me is that the artists/songs you post are never in the middle. They're either ones I love or ones I hate.
I suspect you'll know which I play and which I don't. But, keep it up, no pun intended.

I just didn't have it in me to post this on Wednesday, given all the "givens" ('nuff of that, TYVM), but I owe it to myself to do this. It's too long to read for most, so please take this for nothing more than what it is; social media master-bayshun.

Suffice it to say that January 6, 2021 cemented the fact that January 6th (2020) will never be a favorite date for me. Last year pretty much locked that up, but this year threw away the key.

Hats off, Mr. Peart. Your legend lives on. This one's for... actually - this one's for me.

And maybe @Bronze, and probably @urby2112, and-and-and...

The Spirit of Neil Peart

Of course Rolling Stone is going to insert their politics where they can. This tribute article is no exception (albeit briefly). Wonder what Neil (who authored 2112) would think of today's censorship crusade from the side he purportedly was on. We know.

Very good article DP. We've heard very little since his death. Thanks for posting.

Anyone else get the Nicoticket email this morning? I'm going through a range of emotions, none of them good. Guess I'll go have my morning coffee and wind myself up even more :grr::grr:

It's been many years since I purchased. What's going on?

Yeah. I wrestled with parts of it too but it's unavoidable these days. Crazy daze.

They're going out of business........


Translation - we're screwed. 90% of Nicoticket's business is direct to consumer via the mail... not being able to use USPS/UPS/FedEx is the final nail in our coffin. It's been a good run! Thank you for your patronage, your loyalty, and your trust. It's been my honor to serve you.

How do you think I feel?... it’s like having a Lebron tattoo :blink:

Everyone raves about the Molicels, JUMA, but I can't speak to them personally. I'm still using the Orbtronics that I've been using forever.

These are the button-tops but they have both (flat & button).

HB, I would up ordering MXJOs for 18350s and the Orbronics for 18650s and, god forbid, Efest purples for 18500s. They purples were the only ones I could find. So far all are working. Thanks to everyone.

Just tell folks that you're a big Muddy Waters fan. :D

Pleasure, JUMA, and nice to see you. A mutual friend was asking for you the other day. :)

Humor aside, the question about how many Provari (versus Plovari) are still being vaped is interesting.
I'm not sure how many were produced. I'd be very curious.
I do know that none of mine have crapped out.
I recall very well asking myself if I wanted to spend $200 on a mod, being a Radius. That was 5 years ago. Still going strong, happy in the hand (no pun intended), and feels tough as nails. I've certainly bought other stuff since then, but they mostly feel cheap and flimsy. [I have not gotten anything fancy like Dani's etc.]

I have way too much stuff, but I'm using P3 Stealth with a black Kabuki tank, along with a P3 Ti and Kubuki Ti tank on a daily basis. Plus a Radius is in my main rotation, so it's used at least once a week. All still work great, but the Stealth P3 and Kabuki are looking a little worse for wear, especially the Kabuki. All of it, however, will outlast me.
