Alright, it’s official. Company announcement went out. I’m leaving work in a few weeks. Starting a new job. Moving back home. Going to be great. Very exciting.
I think I posted a bit about NFA items before and the process I had to go through with the ATF to acquire these items. Well, I'm moving soon so I just sent off my https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/i-have-nfa-firearm-and-i’m-moving-what-do-i-do Form 5320.20 to the ATF. Wait times are around 9 days …
Not a bad 2024 for flights.
Quit my job today. I’ve done this only a few times in my life and it’s always nerve racking. Technically gave 4 week notice.
Places where I drank a beer in 2024:
This is huge. So glad to have full RSS of the Verge.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/3/24306571/verge-subscription-launch-fewer-ads-unlimited-access-full-text-rss I don't read the Verge unless someone links to it and the reason I stopped back in the day was because they kept doing screwy things with their RSS feed I've subscribed.Hoping my …
@Rycaut Black Friday sales I received 4 emails. Unsubscribed instantly as always so should be less next year. I’ve never received a politician email or text except spam that is political.
…for anyone complaining I’ve stopped writing. I write a lot but it doesn’t always end up on the blog.
First time I’ve merged my being an Apple fanboy and my role in the bmw community in my monthly column.
Thanksgiving in Florida.

New beginning confirmed
@kolin It was $1299 last Black Friday - https://www.cpricewatch.com/blog/2023/11/why-you-shouldnt-miss-the-canon-stores-insane-black-friday-sale/ I bought the 70-200 and 24-70 last year.
I have purchased 4 RF lens since migrating from EF and that's over the last 3 years. Canon's Refurbished Black Friday sale has been a savior. SAles start at midnight on Friday. Shopping list: RF15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM RF85mm F1.2 L USM RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM
I've been trying other creative solutions like one way is just auto delete anything with "trump" in the content but then I missed an email from my dad. Anyone getting dozens of scary world-ending spams per day and have you found out how to get out from under it? It's just noise and …
As many know, I run a tight email operation. A month ago, I started getting “conservative fear monger spam” for the first two weeks, I unsubscribed to every one but they’re all from different senders so it’s just not working.
This could end up being just another Monday leading into Thanksgiving or it could be a new beginning.
@harrymccracken and support SMS posting. Frankly, I don’t need an app to post and don’t need another app tracking me. You can post from mobile-web I assume but I LOVED SMS Twitter. It was so easy to just text updates.
First day that feels like winter here in Charlotte. It was 39 when I woke up and 44 on the motorcycle ride in to the office.
One my truck is paid off, I'll be ordering a BMW Z4 M40i. This should be a blog post but I’ve been wanting a replacement for my Golf R since I sold it in 2021 and I don't regret selling it for many reasons but I want a sunday warm-weather car that lives in a a garage in appreciates in value …
@sdw I'm thrilled that they maintained the same price. It's essentially a price-cut accounting for inflation and very rare on nearly every product.
@ybrammer DAmn good idea. I was going to say if I was starting over, Mac Mini + TB5 hub loaded with SSDs but I'm using 90 terabytes of my NAS so I'm sort of in ATX-Case x86 zone if I were to build my own. I'd need a LOT of drives.
@ybrammer Sounds expensive. I'm considering just having 10GB drops to a few select ports for now so 2 to my work computer, 2 to the NAS and that’d be it for now.
Delta found my luggage. The long national nightmare is over. Maximum claim was going to be about $1300 which would have covered my clothes and toiletries but there's the whole matter of $6500 in Canon cameras and lenses so I'm thrilled they found it.
