North Buffalo

The protesters, the one's not looting for fun and profit are genuinely pissed... may take a while to organize and figure out what they want... right now pure anger and understandably so. Too many B.S. cops and not enough good one's outting them. System needs to do a better job screening them and checking in regularly to see what their mental state is. Can't prevent all yahoos... but gotta be better than this...

Forgot about Ok... true... So top lines Sabres have Jack, Sam, Ollie... 2nd Skinner probably Cozens and Kahun... 3rd what TT, Mitts and Simmonds? or some other more experienced garbage... Would rather see Cozens on third line with Mitts and maybe Simmonds... leaving Skinner and Kahun without a center... am I forgetting someone?

Though a forth line of Larry, Girgs and Simmonds sounds good... problem is the second and third lines of who exactly? Wash rinse repeat last year...

Though starting to see more suspected cases down county... nowhere near as bad but on the rise.

Went down the rabbit's hole last night.... This guy ranked Buffalonian Billy Sheehan!

Can't answer with the above options. I think there are not far off, but as others have said in other posts, they aren't too far off... but need multipe forwards that have some moxy and talent... Cozens appears to have it... and the D and goalies seem to be coming along... but Botts seems to have little clue on how to find forwards with talent unless just handed to him. Mitts meh too affable and not enough drive... sounds like he is on Valium... not much else in the cupboard... Coach seems decent... just wondering what the linch pin will be to get them over the top to be a competitive team... Sigh... so right direction in certain areas but not much on offense.

I wear an N95 mask under my cloth mask at work to preserve it a bit because we only get one a shift... Not great, but when this first started we were told to keep each one for a week... I managed to scavenge one for each shift... not ideal and PPE gowns were worn for a week. It was crazy... not surprised I got sick and glad I got better to quote Monte Python... I'm not dead... and by better, I mean health wise. Mentally, I guess I was prepared better than most having gone thru 911 in DC, anthrax and the sniper shooter and the Ricin scare as well. So the PTSD stuff seems a little less, plus I see my colleagues regularly so it means I actually have some socialization. Still stopped at a gas station to pick up some things and at the mini mart a lady walked in without a mask... frickin idiot. I said something... she didn't seem to care and the night worker had a mask hanging from 1 ear.. Guess I won't be going back there anytime soon. Cloth masks do help if double layered things from infecting others. So if you ask me will there be a second wave... I am can see it happening.

Who me... not that pios

My cousin Chad just posted a rehash of one of the School of Fish songs. He was an original member of:

You guys have inspired me to break out my old Mark II 1Ds digital back. PS up in Amherst MA at our old house, kicked renters out so we would have somewhere to go to this summer. lotta young hotties scantily clad... man do I feel like a dirty old man.

take a look at this floating head. I have something similar. Believe my stick is also a Manfrotto. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1162342-REG/manfrotto_mhxpro_bhq2_xpro_ball_head.html Also this stick is similar to mine without the tripod style base: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1290571-REG/sirui_ep_204s_aluminum_multi_function_photo_video.html

It still may not work for you but typically I plant the monopod and keep both hands on the camera. I affix the mono to the lens sheath hole and swivel from there. I shot a number of triathlons and road races using this technique. In addition, the fast release and solid set one I have did me well. It has a floating ball head that can move vertical as well. Going up to where it is stored and will try and send a pic. Used it a-lot for my 100-400 4.5-5.6 lens because of the weight.

No clue... jury is hung right now without further evidence.

LTS, consider a monopod instead of a tripod. Much easier to use when walking around. Mine doubles a walking stick. Also a lot lighter... they telescope for easy storage. Use a 3 point stance... the mono serving as the third leg... no wise cracks from our resident Beevis... makes for good steady shoots and they make them strong and light weight. Dont get a cheap one...

I have an Uncle down there and nurses I work with from the area that said GA was imploding with the virus...

And for those you of you too young... that is who the pic was... Dudely

Sabres interview with Mitts on website sounds like a guy on downers... got wonder about fire in his belly.

Best I can advise is get a face shield or goggles, spray chairs after each client with a disinfectant. Spray shoes and leave at salon. Of course masks and surgical gloves change after each client. And have masks for them if they do not have any. Put your clothes in a bag at end of the day and have a change of clothes to go home with. Thoughts and prayers

Why would you wear a mask and then pull it down below your nose?

Hmmm? ?

Use a mirror, I did came out good even impressed the wife!!!! Insert winky thingy

Sigh... Sigh...

PS my cousin Chad just did a reboot of his theme song to Scrubs dedicating to Nurses and frontline workers, with my wife and myself pictured toward the end:

Its called a beard buzzer... use it on your head..
