Got my MX Keys S keyboard. Very nice indeed. I instantly found it easier type on it. The only thing that's biting me is that being a hamfisted typist, I use the backspace key *a lot.* On this keyboard, the volume control for the speakers is right there above the backspace key. So I inadvertently turn the sound on when I'm typing. I habitually keep speakers on my machines muted. I suppose I'll get used to that, though.

I do a similar thing on my MacBook Pro laptop, which is not new, but only got it the end of last year. When I hit the shift key I will occasionally hit the caps lock key as well and then when I look up after a sentence or two everything's in caps. Didn't do that on my previous MacBook Pro.

I was struggling with it for a few days because it is overall smaller than the keyboard it replaced but I seem to have woken up adapted one day. I think you’ll get used to it.

I go into the keyboard settings and disable the Caps Lock key. I never need it, so it's easier to just kill it.

Yes, good idea. Thank you.

It was "Go to the Camera Shop" day combined with Amazon day at the house:

Finally pulled the trigger on a new Sony A6700 APS-C camera with 18-135/f3.5-5.6 OSS lens and a few other goodies.

HGX Prime 55mm UV filter
Sony battery charger
Spare Sony battery
Sandisk 128GB UHS-II SDXC card
SmallRig bottom mount plate
3-pack screen protector
SmallRig wrist strap
Soft release shutter button
Camera strap mounts w/ protective shields
Two camera storage cases (not pictured-- I need to see which one I like.)

We're headed for a long weekend in Napa in a few weeks. My buddy is a Canon guy who's into photography, so we're going to play around with my new toy while our wives get schnockered on wine.

In May, we're headed to France to see Taylor Swift with two other couples and we're going to spend a few extra days to see Paris, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and Giverny. That should give me a pretty good range of shooting to see how I like the 18-135 lens. Surprisingly, it's gotten excellent reviews (unlike the 16-50 kit lens-- that one's a dog.)

I downsized from four cameras to one, so this is going to be my "single arrow in the quiver" from here on out. I'm also going to set up a dive rig for it, but that's a) terrifyingly expensive and b) not really needed until the fall. You think setting up the basic camera and lenses is hard? Hoo-boy, you ain't seen nuthin' yet. Underwater photography is a *bugger* to figure out-- especially if you're trying to within sight of a budget and you have to design it as a travel rig. The dive housing is camera specific (and NOT cheap). Then there's the strobes. Some work with some housings, some don't. Since I want TTL with my strobes, I can't get the ones I wanted-- but the ones that are $300 more EACH will work.

Ugh. Hobbies are hard.

Trying to eat healthier, so figure pop corn is healthier for an after dinner snack than what I normally eat. Haven't made popcorn at home in years, so...

Popcorn used to be my favorite snack but I don't eat it anymore. Occasionally get the popcorn kernel skin caught in my teeth under my gums. Difficult sometimes to get out. Had to go to my dentist a couple times for assistance even though I have a dental kit to help dislodge the little bastards.

New bag for my wife.

ALMOST pulled the trigger on a new set of GrillMates for the BBQ. But then I realized I haven't fired up the grill for several months. Since it's just the wife and I, 2 steaks fit in a cast iron skillet, and taste better that way too!

Think of it as inspiration.

A full case of this Limited Edition Crown Royal Blackberry.
When it was released a couple of weeks ago, I missed out. This time I told my local store Manager to set aside a case for me because I love anything from CROWN ROYAL...

[MassWholeBimmer]

So I've lost over 80 lbs over the last year, and in just trying to live a healthier lifestyle (nothing to radical ), so bought a smart watch to track fitness metrics. It's probably going to be used as a toy more than anything else..

Brother P-Touch label maker. Need to label some stuff and this is one of the few remaining label makers that does not require that you install yet another app on your phone.

LOL - exactly why no one can try it - everyone buying a case at a time before everyone even gets a freaking bottle to try!

Well sir... In my area, Liquor stores are plentiful and my particular store received 20 cases.
Your blanket statement as to this being the reason is inaccurate. My understanding was the first shipments were only 5 cases to my particular store. I don't know where you're located but that's irrelevant. I missed the first round. But my due diligence allowed me to obtain some this go around. I also got extras for gifts.
Good luck in your search.

I went on my annual road trip to the sugar bush yesterday to grab 5 litres of maple syrup. That will usually last me all year. I always like visiting the sugar bush in the spring. The smell of the sap boiling over the wood fire is amazing.
