Hey Rob, happy new year!

I had the '24 Type R for a year but sold it because honestly, there are some things I didn't like and lacked, but the driving dynamics in the twisties were so good. I decided to buy the Type S instead as it just fits me better. I think had I gotten the acura first, I would not have sold it.

the car drives so good, and so well engineered. I really am enjoying it!
 
hmmm..... haha

That’s the general consensus…the ITS is the better overall car compared to the CTR when you factor in daily livability. My favorite part of the ITS is they delete the damn sunroof (I hate them).

Oooh! Cashmere... :love

I'm gonna die of old age waiting for Eric to buy one for me. I should just do it myself...
 
Why do they call it a sweater anyway?? Because it makes you sweat??

Good stuff Cootz.

I did get a little sweaty while out walking in the sunshine.

I managed not to spill coffee on our maiden voyage so that’s a good sign. 😂

I stopped wearing white t-shirts about 40 years ago, cuz I'm good for maybe an hour before they're ruined. :laughing

I bought a white shirt and white pants for @hoho’s memorial and ruined it within 10 minutes.

But this is cute and cashmere and I’ll be careful.
 
And on a Katana no less! :laughing :cool:
 
Leica D Lux 7
...and I made a DIY, minimalistic style paracord sling for it last night.


Forget about fancy leather strap.
This is another example of Sean Flynn's Leica M2 inspired project.
Simple. Functional. Costs nothing.

Shot on Leica SL2-S, with SIRUI Venus 75mmT2.9 with +2 diopter for close up shot.
 
Nice video. I liked the lighting, the overall tone and colors, the candles in the back, the smoke effects. I liked the utility of the sling. My concern with most paracord projects like this is that the line is too thin to be comfortable for any real time, but I do like the adjustability of it.

I liked the close up of it, but I would say that both times you did the bowline on the camera, the hands pretty much blocked everything. Not that big of a deal with a bowline knot.

And the bit at the end, back in high school I took a wilderness/rock climbing class. And one of the things they made us do was memorize knots (especially the bowline), and we had to tie them in the dark while taking a cold shower in the gym, to replicate stormy conditions.

I wish they had taught your technique on tying it, that looks much simpler.

Mind, I couldn't make a bowline blind today.

Hi, thanks for the comment.
Yes, I knew my hands were covering up the most important part...while I was filming.
(Because I set a tripod at really low height, for "cinematic" effect. I realized that I need to either use action cam to do "table top view", or I sit down on the other side of the table.
Didn't want to mix action cam footage with this video.
Moving to the other end requires moving all the lights, which means the sequence would look totally different from other part of the video.
So, i just kept on going. Next time, I will plan more, before start rolling the camera.)
At least, the "Prusik knot", the most important part, has better visibility. I think.

I included that "how to memorize the Bowline knot" part, because it is probably the most useful knot in the real world rope work.(Well, bowline and trucker's hitch. These two are the most useful. Especially for a motorcyclist. They can be used for securing the extra luggage on the tail rack / passenger seat. They can be used for securing the motorcycle on the pick up truck's bed. (I've seen a motorcycle fell off of the truck bed. I heard, they had to haul a bike but didn't have tie down belts. Found some rope but didn't know how to tie them...)
