Kona via OM3.
I find myself enamored with the Pentax K-3 III Monochrome.
I feel I simply must have one.
I mean, LOOK at it.

My dreams in my older age (53) are simpler. I just want to live where my ears aren’t assaulted by the sound of two-stroke leaf blowers and line trimmers every weekend morning.
It’s absolutely ridiculous.
And now, in the department of un-announced fun…
BAH.
My water company turned off service to our area this morning without warning.
I am fine with them needing to work on the lines, but couldn’t you at least send an email?
It’s 2026, man, I work from home.
Also, the phone tech had no idea they turned our water off.
SIGH.
This image brought to you by my trusty G15.
I feel exhausted again today.
I slept til almost 1 yesterday.
I am assuming this is just a combination of things, the time change, the weather changing, and healing from the various ailments I’ve been dragging around with me…
“Who cares if they can do something you don’t need?”
Real camera talk. I love it.
I was thumbing through the music catalog this morning, and I couldn’t find just the right morning music, til I stumbled on
“Echoes: The Best Of Pink Floyd.”
I listened to this a week or two ago and enjoyed it, and so far it has been perfect this morning.
The IBM Maximo sales guy just said

Interesting way to quantify facilities maintenance man…but legit.
In august of last year, I began a process of de-clouding my “smart” home products. I’m no Luddite, I enjoy being able to turn on the bathroom fan from the bed as much as the next guy, so I wanted things to continue to work in the way we had become accustomed, just with less reliance on the cloud.
My old Withings Sleep mat finally gave up the ghost. It had been getting flaky for a while, and about a month ago, it stopped connecting altogether.
I’ve replaced it with the Garmin Index. I usually steer clear of the Big Garmin Machine, but this one actually seems legit.
We shall see…
I swear, Apple Music for windows sucks SOOO BAD there aren’t words for it.
And to be clear, I’m a BIG Pro Apple guy.

“That threw a kink in the wrench, let me tell you”
Hmmmm a kinky wrench huh… 🤔
I’ve fooled around and gone audiobook shopping. In my defense, I will be spending a good bit of time travelling, so…
Some Ken Follett, S.A. Corey, Herman Wouk, and the new Rick Atkinson Revolutionary War book, “The Fate of the Day.” Book one of this series, “The British are Coming” was fantastic.
This morning I’m enjoying a cup of Peet’s Major Dickason’s roast.
This coffee is much better than I expected it to be.
I have a convoluted history with this coffee. I will put the story up on the “Big Beautiful Blog."

Time Doesn’t Make Itself
This is the third time I’ve been at Discount Tire in recent months, and all three times there’s some person here with their entire computer rig setup in the waiting area. Is this some kind of co-use space I wasn’t aware of?
Gratuitous blowout photo for kicks.
