I hope to receive a dumptruck load of stone, and another of limestone sand, as well as cement and lime, for construction project beginning next week. That's tomorrow. I hope to go for ride on Sunday.

I went to the May race in Talledega back in 2012 or 2013. It is only about two hours from where I live in NW Atlanta. I have nothing going on besides grilling steaks on Sunday and watching college football and maybe some baseball. Also some wine to go with the steaks. The weather has moderated so longer rides are easier but we aren't talking about riding. I might go to a nearby park Saturday with the wife and people watch and listen to music under a tree after lunch for an hour or so.

Not riding.

My fav lens was the 100-400 dustpump for football in daylight.

Good luck!

Hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow. Good luck!

My lip range/endurance is as pathetic as my bicycle speed. Perhaps more so because I play almost every day and don't have the RA excuse on the trumpet.

Hmph, maybe I should use my 80-400 for a change, sharp as a tack but it focuses slow as hell. I’ll prolly stick with my 150-500, a time-tested workhorse.

150-500 would work.
And maybe another with wide angle.

Nice. I've never been to Talladega, but been to Daytona a few times. Fun places to watch a race, if you can get behind plate racing.

Were you sentenced to hard labor for past Indescrections?

Reminder that Syracuse isn't even orange.

Making a gravel road?

So you can avoid cycling on it?

No. I understood build on Sat, ride on Sun.

I wouldn't build a gravel road if I had to ride on it.

I wouldn't ride on it of I had to build it.

Rock gets used quick - we’re probably going to need 40 tons for the work that’ll start when we get back home.

Did they beat Auburn?

What is your gravel / rock project?

Break a leg, AG!

Also, lots of rock in kona.

Maybe bring some home on the plane.

The new version of that is outstanding.

I bet it's nice, and I'd be jeally if I still shot much.

Funny story:
My wife ran her first marathon, and the whole family drove down to the finish, which was an ordeal trying to get in place on a long straight stretch before she passed by.

I brought the 7D and 100-400, planning to get a bunch of approach shots, and was being super clever using the zoom to try to hunt for her among thousands of runners approaching in the distance... also using the timing chip and live tracking.

Looking, looking, "where the heck is she?"

Then as I'm focused in the distance, I hear "oh hi honey" and she's already passing way too close to get a shot with such a long lens. :crash:

Zeriscaping. The house is great, but the yard is crap, so the half-assed projects are getting yanked, the crappy plants are getting yanked, and it’s all getting replaced with Mexican river rock. The pictures will occur.

Way to go, Astros. Three more wins and on to the World Series.
