My local Wolf/Ritz already closed.

Who wants to pick up a PL1 and ship it to me? I'm very serious.

So today I did a total biking of 37mi. Got off work and met up with some people for my first real group ride. It was a good time and looking forward to the next one.

I knew the day would come when my E-P1 was officially old. Still love it though, even though it's taken a back seat to my iPhone.

Today I started a Pedal Room page. I don't know why. I think I need moar biek fwendz, even though commuting's all I have time for these days.

I hardly use that lens; i had it ready on lunar eclipse night then fell asleep. I prefer Canon FD 50 1.8 but am also getting acquainted with a Konica 40 1.8. I really want that Lumix 25 1.4 though.

Oh right right, I remember now, you're stuck with the vf1 which is totally not worth it.

home from fencing practice. in a strange twist of fate it actually stopped raining for my ride there and back. of course i rode home from work in the -driving- rain. Rules 5 & 9 satisfied. still waiting on the LBS to get my fenders and headlight in. i almost feel like i'm cheating, but i don't think i'll need the rest of my stable until spring. the Nature Boy is my 'swiss army bike'.

enjoying a liter of St. Bernardus Abt 12, then it's time to wipe the bike down and check the tires for tomorrow.

I always wonder what an owner would do when the stationary front lens element gets damaged with everyday use and lack of protection.

Yeah. I'm pretty excited. I'm returning the camera($170) and the essentials bundle($30), and got the PL1 and essentials for $200. So I pretty much traded. Up.

Today I found out that I finished in front of 2 other riders in my category on Sunday's race, and I was racing against some pretty strong guys.
I'm happy to be able to beat some geared riders on that course, specially since I had no training and was only riding for fun.
