@fwBen_ He texted my dad to let him know he was coming to get them. He didn’t want to do it behind his back. Dad came out and was talking to my husband. He told my dad it wasn’t anything against him, if our daughter acts like that we take her tv and toy privileges away. My dad huffed
@fwBen_ My husband asked what his problem was and he said, your kid. He slammed the front door as he went outside. He’s been using our kayaks for over a year now so my husband went to pick them up the next day because I didn’t want a confrontation in that moment with my daughter there.
I'm not a Republican nor a Democrat and this is not a political channel.
But I am enjoying the amazing creativity of the LA mayor's race campaign ads.
They are off the charts.
Is this the future of politcal campaigns? (and Hollywood)?
The DOJ's deadline to charge Fauci for lying under oath about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan is in 6 days. We can’t allow the statute of limitations to run out. He MUST be charged!
Agree? RT.
@Nerdy_Addict Did you see the discovery of thres children’s bones (between 3-7 years old) in the Hickory Hill neighborhood of Memphis Tennessee? In a drain pipe area supposedly for years! No suspects and they haven’t identified the children 😭
@VitaCatholica I needed single fold bias tape and refused to pay $5 for a package on Amazon. I went to 3 Walmarts and all of them were wiped clean. Hobby Lobby had it. Then I start the project to realize I was 1/8th of a yard short of fabric, went back to HL to only have one choice that I liked
This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet.
The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation
with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy.
There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one.
That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure.
