Holy bassboat, batman! I should try to get down to SLC tomorrow for the NAHBS, but I haven't really done any planning yet...just too worn out from all the planning for a few days in Portland and then the BIG move down to the AZ desert.

Unfortunately in Rock Springs, you usually can't rent a car between about noon on Saturday and Monday morning.

So I compromised - took a ride, stopped off at the LBS and bought booties but no gloves. My "ski" gloves were fine on the ride, if a little bulky. The booties, while nice for the wind and insulation on the uppers, didn't do much for the pedals and footbed sapping warmth from my feet. 
I'll try a sock with a thicker sole tomorrow, but it's looking like 1.5-2 hours would be the limit at <20°.
@rjones28 will be happy to know that the brakes felt pretty damn good. The rear feels like it's pretty well bedded, but the front still isn't biting quite as well. Shift lever for the RD seems to be missing the ratchet on upshifts, though - the RD shifts, but the next upshift will (occasionally) require that I push the lever the full travel (with little/no resistance), release and then click it again to upshift. Maybe it's the cold, maybe it's the thick gloves providing poor feel - I dunno, but I'll just have to keep an eye on it.
Wheels/tires feel fine, but I wasn't exactly gettin' after it today.

No, sadly, the weather has not cooperated. Almost literally solid rain for a few days, on and off, and gloomy the rest of the time. And so the animals have all been holed up wherever they hole up, and the lens is not exactly an indoor sort of toy.

Excuses! Both the 70-200 and the 5Diii are weather sealed, aren't they?

I seem to remember a time when Vol went to... foo? P&R? Well, one of the other forums, at least, when an Addictionite was being, uh, unkind behind another member's back. Vol was kind enough to point him/her in the direction of Addiction so that they could tell their side of the story. 
LOL

Was it the guy with the Marvin the Martian avatar? Handle escapes me...
11 bucks for a 10 pack at REI - I'll pick some up. Do people put them on top of their toes? I can't imagine that underneath would be too comfy.

They make teleconverters, I wonder why they don't make focal reducers for cameras? Common ones in astro are .63x and mostly .8x, which would just about make it usable for indoors.

Wait a minute, what's this big move to AZ? Did I miss something?

5D3 yes, 70-200/2.8ISii yes... but this is the 100-400Lii. The 70-200 went back because I wasn't thrilled with it, and I realized I'm mostly shooting the local wildlife right now, so I went for this. I'll try another 70-200 a bit later.
And yes, it's also weather-sealed. The damn wildlife is all hiding sensibly. Maybe Monday.

But I don't know of one for Canon-Canon, and either way, it doesn't matter, because indoors I have the 35/2IS and 100L. And 50A. And 50 STM. And 40 STM. And 24-105Li. I'd just shoot those, except shooting indoors makes it clear how not-presentable this place still is. So no.

I've never used them, but I'm sure they have directions on the pack.
