Game night and cameras

[fbhjr]

Still sad that my camera had gone pavement surfing last week, I traded in a bunch of my AMEX points to get the current equivalent of that model.
Other than the “non-slip surface” feeling weird to my fingers, it seems to work quite well. (It feels like the non-skid tape they put on cement stairs.)

It does well taking close up pictures.


It does well at taking long distance photos.


It seems to have a pretty good depth of focus.


It didn’t do quite as well capturing the refraction rainbow on the way to work yesterday. But, I did take the photo one handed while getting on a highway in bright sun.


Also not good with the moon.

But, I’ve never seen a pocket camera that was, so this isn’t a surprise.

It does seem to do OK with clouds. And, I take a lot of photos of clouds.


Then, after a LONG day at work, we went to game night.


Sadly my pushing the seat back in the car started a fuel leak for the stuff for the fire show. But, yebo got a container and took care of it for us.
I did notice that in his garage he had those type of loading ramps my wife hit her head on almost exactly 3 years ago.

I’m glad she and they stayed apart.

yebo also seems to be trying to grow a new deck.


It was a grilling month and my sausages caught fire.

But, they were OK and there was plenty of other good food.

cissa’s fruit salad was very good and everyone had some.
And, there was lots of very good corn too.

Tim brought his dice game.


So, I tried that.


But, I was pretty tired from the week I’d had so spent more time talking than playing games.

Still, it was very nice to have game night to cap off this week.
And, I'm happy to have a new camera.

I actually have a picture of you I was going to use, but you're wife is in shot behind you.
And, i have promised her not to post photos of her. If I crop it out, there wouldn't be enough left to be worth it.
Sorry.

You are very thoughtful to respect her wishes, and that means more to me than a moment of fleeting glory.
