Yah, none of those are the same color, nor length.

Type C is much easier to get these days compared to Type B

Now not only are you getting the color and length wrong, but you are getting the connectors wrong.

There is a reason I went the DIY route and it's because you can't buy a premade one in the colors/style I wanted.

It's okay that you were wrong lol.

Doh! Never enough time or too much effort to use the big camera (cell phone is good enough)?

I am going on a photography trip so my pack will definitely see use. Plus when I go hiking.

I don't even take that many pix with the phone now. Mostly troubleshooting photos, like wiring.

LMAO I got one similar to that back in 2015 and I've barely even used it. After like the first 2 years after my son was born, and realizing how much of a pain in the ass it is to take a DSLR on beach vacations, it's literally sat for like 5+ years in my office. It's a starter DSLR but I have like a $700 lens for it lol. The difference between that DSLR (with my skill set) and the newer iphones is not worth the effort for me.

EDIT:

This is the one I got

In 2001 I went to grand canyon (day excursion from vegas) with my elan 7, 4 lenses plus flash and a aluminum tripod. And like twenty rolls of film. Now I barely take pix with my phone lol.

Oh I take a shitload of pics on vacations, just with my phone or my goPro, like this one I took last week.

Videos from the goProp look cooler though.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Been toying with buying a newer DSLR at some point, probably one that is video focused too. I have a Nikon D7000, I imagine there are cameras out now days that are a magnitude better for both pictures and video.

Had to get a 6 ft tall bookcase. Been buying new books furiously. Need somewhere to store them. (8 books bought in Sept.) (am I addicted?)

Well, I do read on average two books a week. Guess I could make it a little more personal.

I know, that's why you got a lame reply.
We both made an effort though, so we both get a trophy!

The new 64 Audio Volur In Ear Monitors. Had to sell two kilobuck IEM's to fund this purchase but it was well worth it - the 64 Audio U4s and the Unique Melody Mext. Everything I felt I was missing in those two buds the Volur completes. Endgame for me for quite some time.

Volür

Innovations that only 64 Audio offers, all designed to challenge traditional in-ear monitor designs to bring you a truly unique listening experience. We believe that when the walls between you and music come down you do your best work and live your life in the truest way.

Hackmanite (sodalite), forsterite (olivine) on calcite with a couple phlogopite mica flakes from the Sar-e Sang mines, Afghanistan. The Sar-e Sang mines have been continuously worked since ~7600 BC. Lapis lazuli from the mines was traded throughout the Old World and found at Ur, Bhirrana, in Egyptian tombs including the funeral mask of Tutankhamun, Roman artifacts, and in Chinese artifacts. The minerals above were considered waste rock until the invention of UV lights. I'll get better fluorescent pics in a couple days.

Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan

Skarn deposit of lapis lazuli that has probably been worked since the 7th millennium BC. ...

1972 Fender Pro Reverb. Re-capped and modded power supply for safety. It's got the goods, to be sure.

Bought the wife a $140 version. Worked the 2 times we used it. I got the $80 version because I didn't care that much and I carry cables. Didn't work the 2 times I used it and the 2nd was fresh off the charger. This one was about $180....we'll see.

My harborfreight one has worked the couple times I used it. I got it to power the gun at work, but I've used it twice for jumpstarting.
