Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Had a surreal moment at work the other day - I was out walking with our public affairs staff planning for an upcoming major event when my specialist made the following comment, "Maybe we should use the nice camera in the closet for this?" I responded asking WTF she was talking about, what was this camera, where was it, how long had it been sitting around, etc. What followed was a mind numbing conversation about how her higher-HQ had shipped her a camera last year to use to document some of the work we're doing. She took one look at it, decided it was way-too-complicated and put it in a storage closet. So on Monday I unearthed a mint condition Nikon D4S complete with a Nikkor 28-300 lens. I have always wanted to tinker with a Nikon FX body. I am the only one that can figure out how to use a camera without a green auto function 🤦‍♂️. So I've got it home with me for the long weekend trying to figure it all out and re-learn some Nikon functions after going to the dark side of Sony for the last three years.

^^^ Also of note during that final sprint during the historic Cav win, the epic and injury preventing bunny-hop to avoid the rider that crashed. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/28951469/tour-de-france-cycling-cavendish/

I've been getting to know the new flattop and liking it a lot. Made an epic breakfast sandwich on it this morning. Last night was fajitas.

Thanks for sharing your story, Steve.

Epic photo. I remember that night.

Ugh, belated well wishes from me as well. Meeting Kerry at an NYC meet was (and still is) one of the best memories I have of this crew.

Al has a special place in my heart for introducing me to Detroit-style pizza.

It had been too long. Detroit style dough made earlier. Now becoming... The tradition rectangular cheese and pepperoni version is already in the oven.

“We do not know one promise these men made, one pledge they gave, one word they spoke,” he said. “But we do know they summed up and perfected, by one supreme act, the highest virtues of men and citizens. For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.” James A. Garfield 1868

This, belated birthday wishes!

Happy birthday, Brent! I'll take you out for a birthday biscuit when/if you make it to the east coast.

Happy belated birthday, Chris!

Rare sight in NH - northern lights visible due to a significant solar storm. It was clearly visible and photographed more impressively than it looked. Still fun.

Happy birthday, Shelly!

a very musical and happy birthday to you, Ryan!

A very happy birthday to you, Jeffy! Here's to hoping your travels bring you back out east again sometime soon.

Maybe the gen 4(?) white Bronco will finally get some peace?

Don't mind, may or may not get you anything as I know the engineering side of the house, but not the sales.

In. Never hate asking for support, Mikey.

Meant to post a pic of the whole cake, last Saturday made a snap decision last week to bake my dad a carrot cake for his birthday.

Happy birthday, Doug. Here's to hoping the pets rescue you today.

Got out early before the wind kicked up again. Hammered me a little on the way back, but not too badly.

I decided that 20mph winds with gusts over 30 were no reason to stay inside.
