Ha ha, this is the mystery object...
The lens is a Canon EFS60mm f/2.8. My most favouritest toy.
Yep, I remember when you said it too!
Winchy crowned Smug Princess :smug:
Got a message from another fellow cacher today and having been planning to release some more of our own, thought back to that very thread.
K
Not sure who knows about geocaching, but one of the best bits for us is Travel Bugs 'n Coins.
They are trackable trinkets that can physically travel all over the world, logged in and out of geocaches by others who share our odd hobby.
An example of one is which was on its way from California to Beijing but appears to have got stalled along the way in Oz.
I am going to set up a new account and register a SH TB and set it going so we can see how far it will get.
Problem is, geocaching is very family friendly and can be down right conservative in places, particularly over the pond where the hobby originated.
( Sadly for Harry, his thong cache was a non-starter!
So, can you help us figure out a goal/theme that is suitably 'clean' to give this to set it on its way in honour of SH, this other great hobby of ours!!
ARACHNAPHOBES BEWARE!!!
Playing with my macro lens and spotted this little guy basking in the VERY RARE bank holiday weekend sunshine.
Can ou really count a single individual in chat as a bully?
Pain in the arse, fecking nuisance.....but bully?
After all, they are at the end of a fiberoptic cable, not stood next to you in the school playground.
Having said I do believe that a number of people acting in sync can be bullying. The group of chatters all known to each other, ganging up with snidey comments and put downs can be a powerful force to have to stand up to.......
......but I do!!!
Sorry if this is off topic, but do you realise that the mention of this 'inner circle' just perpetuates the whole clique mythology that this forum suffers from!
Back on topic, per Sassy's original post....I suffer badly from impulse action....particularly at work. To the extent where I will now try to compose letters/emails etc then review and send the next day because sometimes you can just get so caught up in the moment that you are not seeing the full picture clearly.
Step away from the keyboard, Sassy, take a few deep breaths....
...go geocaching!!!...
Then think about that delete account button.
You might not change your decision, but you'll be doing it clear headed.
Got a recommendation in chat last night and I think these could be my next must have.
Multi strap suspenders...must have been very sheltered as I've never spotted these before.
I think I'm in love :twisted:
A bit ticked off with the weather here too, can't get out to play....no fun. :cry:
Here are a couple of oldies.
The Colliseum by night.....camera was perched on a rubbish bin to get a nice still shot!
Disco......welll...its gotta be anything from Saturday night Fever.....
But especially..
Reggie's thread kind of inspired me to ask......what Abba song are you....or which inspires you...or which just means a lot to you.
If not an Abba song....then just post your own song/band anyway.
I saw Mamma Mia the Movie a couple of weeks ago and it got me blubbing a couple of times but nothing near my favourite....this one.
Not sure if it's being Scottish and being brought up with the thought of New Year being a bit magical and a new start etc....but I'm bawling like a babe within the first few lines.
Nope, the scrolly mousy thing is a hard plastic thing. You can feel it sort of ratcheting as it moves so I'm sure its not just slipping. It rights itself when I reboot, but I'd like to avoid having to do that by figuring out why it does it.
After a couple of years of working directly with IT stuff from a non-techie background though, I'm learning that there are no easy answers and often reboot is the only answer for some of these quaint little foibles.
Yep, have to agree with the OP - lets just take the thread as intended. There are all sorts of heroes, sporting heroes just being one of them.
Harry says.......his vote is for Jarno Saarinen. Harry's been a bike fan for a long long time!
Jarno, familiarly known as the Flying Finn, or to his home fans, The Baron, he was heading for a magical dual championship, aiming to win the 250 and 500 in the same year back in 1973. he'd won the first 3 250 races and the first 2 500 races when he was tragically killed at Monza.
'Fast' Freddy Spencer finally did the 250 & 500 double in 1985 but burnt out in the process and never raced as successfully again.
Jarno is the man that practically invented the knee down riding style, perfecting it during ice racing and speedway in his early career and shortly after picked up and perfected by Kenny Roberts.
If he'd have lived his name would have been as famous as Ago and Mike the Bike. Sadly not to be.
( All of the above care of Harry, not me! )
Love my berets, one raspberry coloured, after the song and one a nice camel colour that goes with lots of things.
Not really a baseball cap person but I've a few that I've gathered from various events over the years. Last couple were freebies from the rugby in Rome last year.
Also have a tweed trilby style hat that I used to wear in winter.
Harry occasionally sports a baseball cap and he has an outdoorsy type hat similar to that one of Steves but would never have known it by that name.
The eye colour is dead genuine. If I'd thought we could sneak him through customs, he and his little sidekick would be resident in Yorkshire right now.
After the news today, how about...
Freddy-Mac and Fanny-Mae!
:happy:
Tan, that firework shot is stunning.
Here are a couple of iconic figures from either side of the pond.
Sorry about all the size jumps, forgot I'd loaded and resized some at different times.
