Okay you asked for it. Here's a little from Saturday and Sunday. We're a pretty gimpy group, so didn't stray far. For the hell of it shot everything 21:9 (with the Sigma dp2 quattro). Compressed, though still a bit large on the bandwidth front. My apologies.

Bear attack training. Always get black bears and grizzlies confused though. Which are you suppose to play dead and which protected in a glass box? Let us know. We're a bit on the whim of other family (Mel's parents 50th Anniversary trip), but later in the week a play date and getting away from family, may be a double-bonus.

Just arrived for a week.

Llamas are assholes.

The iPad decreased my MacBook use. The iPhone 6+ decreased my iPad use. The Apple Watch decreased my iPhone use. Errrr.

Reportedly it was demoed with an arm on the screen while using Pencil (and not interfering). Is that what you mean?

My bad using Engagdet specs.

Interesting the mini 3's 16/64/128 storage decreased to 4's 16/32. Also surprised 3D Touch didn't make it to the iPad Pro.

Sad the AppleTV lost the toslink output (especially with greater Apple Music integration). Though the presentation wasn't super exciting, its timing hit right for needing a new iPhone, iPad, (both lost to previous job) and after waiting forever for the Apple TV revision. So my wallet is probably getting killed this time. Also looking forward to the watchOS update.

I guess I need to see this.

Catastrophe marathon to finish out season (Amazon Prime). Pretty fun, likely especially to parents.

Hope you have a great day!

Catastrophe pilot here. Not bad.

I'm late to the game, but pretty nice.

Just finished. Quite a bit to like. Don't believe I've ever seen politics handled this way.

Shelly, I received a gift "parachute" (nylon) wallet I believe from that site and liked it quite a bit. Lasted for far longer than most I've had. Eventually I went smaller with one from http://www.amagpoc.com (there are lots of similar out there). Suspect I'd prefer the former for rear pocket (where thinner matters) and latter for front (seems like s second, smaller phone in the other front pocket).
