Yes it’s gorgeous. I told my cycling friend that for the afternoon we can do an easy recovery ride, possibly the route you suggested, or maybe the safe/boring circuit around the Rose Bowl.

But yeah, three Hail Mary guesses like that in a row? Not smart.

Was that the same Hot Lips actress in the tv series? They look very close to me.

So, after carefully considering which drill and impact driver set would adequately fill my needs with minimal overkill... I ordered Makita's top-of-the-line kit that's got gobs of obscene power that I'll likely never use.
I really wanted to get the subcompact kit, but the latest one isn't on shelves yet, the old ones aren't being discounted much and I found a deal for this kit that was too good to pass up! I'll console myself with the fact that the impact driver is still so small that it's not meaningfully more bulky than the subcompact. The drill? Well, it is two pounds heavier than the subcompact drill that I had in mind... but it's still only 5lbs with the big battery and the outrageous power will probably bring a smile to my face every time I pull the trigger.

I later explained above that, after her second guess and the letters she had already tried, there was only one possible choice.
After my third guess there was only one possible choice, but it took me a while to figure it out.

My main concern with the bad mama jamas was that the weight and size might be an obstacle - I've sold multiple lenses that I've loved, optically, because they were big enough and heavy enough to be a burden and they constantly got left at home. I'm absolutely certain that's not going to be the case with the impact driver... the drill? Yeeeeah, we'll see. If it really bothers me, there's a chance that I buy a smaller battery for it (the kit comes with two 5Ah batteries, which are probably pretty hefty) and/or that I just pick up a bare-tool subcompact some time in the future when there's a deal to be had. We'll see.

Now, it's just the EOS R, lens and CPL for travel, for the most part.

Even then, you don't NEED 500hp to roll happily along at socially-acceptable speeds....but is sure is nice to have it.

Two things any self-respecting man cannot live without - horsepower and torque.

I didn't stop taking my big lenses with me until 2020. We had a northern Arizona hiking trip planned until Covid shut us down, and in my backpack was a Canon 1DX, 300 f2.8, 100 f2.8 macro, 16-35 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8, teleconverter, and EOS R with 24-105 f4 as my backup. Plus, filters, extra batteries, chargers, wireless shutter releases, water bladder, and tripod. Bag weighed about 35 pounds. That was 2 years ago when I was a ute.
Now, it's just the EOS R, lens and CPL for travel, for the most part.
