You already do.

Your aura is absolutely blindly shimmering and I'm sure IRL the whole of you does as well.

Oh most excellent, straddling the threat/safety line nicely.

My dreams are more complicated:

A contact probe/end that would fry all the processors of a car it touched, and scratch the paint down to the base😈

Kindness to the more vulnerable is the most human, admirable approach.
Making it safer is wiser than making it a potential weapon against drivers. You are to be commended for that! (not that it should need commending to be caring and considerate of others, but *waves hand around* life as a cyclist)

I've always wanted to put a sharp scratchy thing on the end of the flag, make it a distinctive penalty for not giving space...

Side-comment:

it was SOO good, unfortunately I only managed to use it once while installed.

That neighborhood is so blind/opposed to making their live better.

Maybe Have someone on hand you can call to stream it for you to listen.

I do wish they release it on one of the music streaming platforms.

It was on utoob initially after airing for a while, when it went away from there I freaked out...

This is one of those performances that's as close to perfection as it gets and Maya Rudolph's back up vocals *swoon*

It only seems to exist in fb/IG land now, and that's a shame.

And I know it's not April but this tribute hit me hard then.

Maybe more so now.

There was a photo of me racing Sunday!

The race before the rain while it was still dusty.

ripples on the river making abstract patterns

colors were nudged and tweaked to make them more dramatic than the were shot with because I wanted to and felt like it - I actually like the black and white version of this too, more to do with the pattern and texture than anything else.

Playing with settings after a weekend with some serious frustration.

Thinking maybe I need to just go with M and balance in post and pick a spot with more consistent lighting to photograph the race from.
(TAv has failed me in both spot and matrix mode)

So I took photos of #birds
📷 Pentax K1 mkii

focus point was on the bird all the way on the right but the movement of everything on the left was unexpected and I like the motion capture.

two cold doves on a power line on a cool wet windy day

display meter in the viewfinder was all the way left (dark/underexposed) but not with the '-' (saying too under).

quick histogram/levels slider adjustment and boost of the shadows and a noise filter and it looks as good and equal to the properly exposed one.

I'm frustrated by my consistent fucking things up, but at the same time in awe of those who make it all look easy.

oh and there's some dust that showed up. Actually peeked at the sensor, looks clear, final lens element had a bunch of dust on it, dry cleaned that all off. THat's as far as I'm going to cleaning right now.

SO MUCH PRESSURE for next weekend to deliver on photos. It was a lot easier when I was just doing it and not having an expectation of past greatness that I have no idea how i managed. Oh right, i was just shooting black and white. easier when there's only one camera to use

Many years ago, before I discovered Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires I accumulated punctured tubes and then batch patched them. Worked great until I ran out of glue and used one of two of the glueless to finish. Not good.

Good for quick road side patching though.

Wait what?

Also about those. Great for road side fixes. Slap them on, inflate and go.

Patching a tube and not using it right away is close to 100% failure rate using park glueless patches.

Can confirm, Yes they do, I have a few done up with them.
