I have a few photographic items on sale at ebay right now. Those include:

• Canon 40D
• Canon Battery Grip BG-E2N
• Wescott 43” Silver Collapsible Umbrella
• Leica M Summicron 90 mm Mount Lens

Check them out if you are looking for quality used photographic equipment. After purchasing the Canon 5D (and *really* liking it) I need to clean out the closet, so to speak.

Also, been spending some time editing the recent work from my Tools series.

My grandpa had two belts - I’m not sure how he figured on which to wear but I remember both of these quite clearly. Maybe the latter was used on days when he needed the luck. No rain. Enough sunlight. Rain. Commodity prices up. I guess I should have photographed it with the horshoe up...

Finally, I saw this series on Shoot the Blog and was blown away - both by the photography, the story and the site design. It reminded me of the feelings I have as I work thru my grandpa’s stuff.

Ride Report: Mountain. 8 miles at Griffin Natural Preserve 1 hour riding time. Causual pace as I was accompanied by a friend and was nursing a pulled hamstring.
