This looks fun
Don't hate me, but I ride there from my house. Just under 4 miles of warm up to the start of the hellacious climb.
Don't hate me more but I have a 1700ft descent to get to Nick's house to then head to that ride.
I honestly prefer the Mountain Lion dh to Longhorn.
West Jefferson.


WIfe and I rode the same loop as yesterday but opposite direction. Not sure what's on the ride agenda for the weekend...

yeah....figuring it out for the 50R is more fun....multiply by 0.78 i think...the GF 32-64 F4 works out to like 24-50....
How do you deal with the file sizes on the 50R? I decided against a 45 megapixle camera because of downstream data management.

I guess downsized and modestly sharpened 11 megapixel images might look good enough in everything you ever want use them for. Heck, some of my fav pictures are from my 4 megapixel Sigma DP2. But then again, some are scans from 5x7 - 8x10 large format negatives. :D

Which also means you have a 1700' climb to get home

Wall framing in basement is progressing. Would have made more progress but had to stop when my framing nailer started blowing air out the nose; can't really complain, first time I've used it despite having it for years (and it was free). Couldn't source the orings locally, amazon says they'll be here Sunday.

None of our plans were accomplished because we couldn't get MIL for watch Hannah today. Haley got to ski and for second 30min session since March, she snapped back into it. They are bumping her up a level again for the semi-private lessons.
Since we were "stuck" at home with Hannah, I worked in the garage. I got wood to make a cross-cut sled and to build a wall rack for my drivers, bits, and charging. I managed to get the wall rack built but need to move some things around before I mount it.

Once I know exactly where I'm putting it, I'll be mounting a power strip on the outside accordingly. Drivers will hang, batteries and bit containers bottom shelf, then charging up top.

That actually turned out really good.
Nice job, chief.

5, all Craftsman 19.2v battery platform. As they fail, I will be replacing them with Makita stuff, but need space for it. I also have a Ryobi hammer drill (corded) that will get hung too.

Just went from 10 to 20. Not saying that there never will be a high megapixel body in my life though. :D

I have had good luck with Makita. I only have two drills and a driver, but I definitely have a minimalist approach. Wait, I have an SDS drill too.

I had a drill and impact wrench forever. After I hit an electrical line that wasn't protected, I went on a "do it right if your going to diy" rant in the reddit diy forum. Some guy had a bunch of drivers from when he switched platforms that he sent to me because one of mine was acting funny.
