I bought a friend who’s just moved a little housewarming present. She’s low on funds and mentioned she needed a vacuum. I hated the idea of her spending $100 on something that was a piece of shit so I asked if she’d be okay with a used but excellent vacuum.

Az don't ride with flops, but they are considered dressy for formal attire.

I bought myself a hammock, a $27. special, I was thinking about a folding chair to stash in the woods.
I rolled out to my avatar, location, in Sedona and found it choked with fire trucks.
Crews parked @ trailheads, during their downtime, talked to a crew from Crown King, old Az. mining town.
They were asking me about folding chairs, I told them of my new hammock.
I hiked down to my tree, a special tree that grew differently, the sunny side, is rounded with tree branches.
The shady side branches, turned toward the sun, wrapping around the tree, to the sunny side.
Leaving the shady side flat, there are a few of these old juniper trees around.
My tree anchors, I tried mens woven belts, of cotton/poly, grommets pulled out, and stretched/tore it.
Nylon woven is my next try. It all worked, super easy to hang it, best tree design ever.
last pix of my water bottle, hanging from a limb, and the special swinging rope, within easy reach.
Little effort, swings long time, , , Yes, that is fire smoke @ my feet.
I have a dog in this fire fight now, I left this in a tree notch, awaiting my return.

As if I don't have enough unfinished projects...this one's a $free.50.
1998, 101K miles. 5.7L Vortec, 2WD. Got the tunes setup in hand. Need a few small things: upgraded alternator, Quiet Ride, window trim rubber, Windshield, tail gate, master cylinder, tune up, tires and she's off to be a track/ bike/ Jetski race truck. Pretty excited. Figure I'll do any other upgrades afterI drive her a bit...maybe suspension and brakes. Maybe...

They're supposed to be the best GM trucks built...so I'm told. I wasn't able to find out with the trucks in my fleet back east...they rusted out before dying. This one's the GF's mom's truck left on her ranch after she passed away. Sat for 10 years...charged battery and started her right up.

Leica Summicron-C filter adapter ring
I just recently found out that the filter thread pitch on vintage Leica Summicron-C (40mm f/2) was “0.75mm”, which is pretty unusual.
Almost everything (filter) you’ll find is “0.5mm” thread pitch.
Some filters won’t go on at all, because the aperture ring is protruded from the lens front.
Some filters, such as Leica E39 M13131 would fit, sort of.
Despite the wrong pitch, M13131 can be screwed in, for a couple of turns. But you should stop right there, as soon as you start feeling the resistance.
If you force, keep screwing in, you’ll strip the thread on the lens.
I found an adapter ring, specifically made to solve this problem.
So I got one, and made a video.
This video was shot like this. (Photos taken with M9 + 40mm f/2 in that video)

May lose 10mm sockets if distracted
Thanks for making me feel old. I remember working on those when they were still brand new.
But damn that’s a sweet find. 1998…is that the last year of the OBS?

Thank, yeah last year of the OBS. Kinda wish it was 4X, but then again, I'd only use it on a boat ramp and even then, probably use a different truck anyway. I was super pumped to see it had the 5.7L...FWIW, we're not "old". We're vintage.

I bought this sexy thing to prevent my left foot from becoming misaligned, which can lead to bunions. My PT informed me that bunions are a common but unwanted side effect of midfoot fusions.
