My Thursday Thought

Increase the good, and then decrease the bad. In that order.

Story Telling Device Made the jump to a full frame camera. Hello to the Sony A7R-iii. Looking forward to some wide angle and telephoto street photography!

My Apple Watch completely apoplectic today with all my abnormal activity.

Alien Jerky stop in Baker, Ca. Stretching the legs is a must! Beware! Aliens everywhere! . ;-P

Click Click Boom We’re out target shooting today, Great way to celebrate Valentines Day! BBQ filet mignon this afternoon.

I like grey; it’s my absolute favorite. The shade I prefer #808080,

Spent an amazing, loving, meaningful afternoon with my family today.

What could I write about today that my future self would benefit from reading?

Apply for that job. Ask that person for a date. Buy that plane ticket. Move to that city. Do all of the things that scare you, they’re definitely worth it!

My ‘drafts’ folder is where laughter goes to die.

Update OS X via terminal

I will forever google; how to include a image and link in markdown!

Does anyone else ever have a strong desire to reply to an email with the person’s name intentionally misspelled when they misspell your name?

Friday rain, Sunny weekend! That’ll work! #tgif
