Prayer request: 6 mo old daughter contracted RSV and took a turn for the worse this afternoon. On our way to the hospital.

May the Lord shine his love and mercy on your daughter and your family.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Wtf?

No way.

That projection is all sorts of wacky.

 

[SoilVol]

@SoilVol. You have me on ignore but I'm praying for your daughter and you parents. God's got this.

Not ignored. I deeply appreciate it.

The first team with the number is the start of the category. Tennessee has a +2 coach effect. I don’t know his formula, but it means our staff has coached two more wins than they should have.

Ah, I see clearly now.

@Weezer be like....

I don't fade into the background. I strut in all my nekkid glory. Worked for Lady Godiva.

InVOL's gal is quite the coach. Offensive genius.

 

[beneVOLence]

All I got out of that is To’o To’o sucks.

Spent most of my day at the hospital. Sister got admitted. What is the news of the day?

Nobody has ever claimed stars don’t matter…. You just stated that you would take 5* busts…. All that matters is how they perform on the field…. If we have the right staff then we will get talent… as the program grows then eventually… the talent that we sign will match the stars that you are craving… Currently, our coach has recruited a few lower rated players over higher rated players bc they feel like the lower rated player is better…. They seem to have a high hit % in recruiting so far…. I have 100% confidence in them.

I would take all of those 5 stars with this staff simply because they can actually develop talent. Are you saying you wouldn’t take Chris Donald with him being coached by Rodney Garner? Richmond or Morris coached by our current offensive staff? Give me that option all day every day simply because you are at a high chance that they are good enough to get drafted.

Glass, glass, glass. I am in the same boat, if I go mirrorless I am going all in and you're talking 10k with lenses. I'd suggest to anyone start small and you can get a good 50mm lens for nothing. Fool around and see if you really are into it

I would probably buy an L zoom lens for the mirrorless than an adapter for my old 24-105 L f4.0 and my 50 f1.4 so that helps some on the cost. I like the Canon R7 to save money on the body and spend more on a 70-200 zoom that I’ve always wanted.

Having said that, I sprung for the iPhone pro just for the better camera options so I use my SLR way less now.

All I remember reading was something about you being in the Florida swamps and something about cheesecake








Hope your sister does well

 

[jakez4ut]

Chess not checkers? Lol

 

[Brillovol]

I had about $5K in a Canon and lenses but I honestly miss my old Canon point and shoot more than the pro equipment. I felt connected to life and art with it. Pro equipment is amazing but cumbersome.

That’s the allure for a mirrorless body for me. Much more compact and light like a point and shoot with all the features you need…unless you get a honkin zoom lens.

Amazon should get a refund from the NFL for these Thursday games. They have had terrible, boring games.

 

[jakez4ut]

Think how great Tony Vols can recruit once the new Baseball Facility is finished next year

That's awesome.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I don't like dogging Kelly because she is a VFL and all...but InVol is right about her coaching deficiencies. There is no rhyme or reason to a lot of what they do...or rather don't do.

I don't want to be negative...so I'm just going to drop it. I hope it changes at some point and you can watch them and say "oh...that is what she was doing"

At heart they don't have him going to the Panthers.... Jeez.

Anthony Richardson?with?

 

[Brillovol]

Yep...and then you have to scout locations for different times of the day to get the light right....and then hope you have the right weather. I talked to some hobby photogs in Grand Teton NP one time at sunset on Signal Mountain...they told me they had been there in the spot at that time for several days to get the specific shot they wanted, and that the weather or clouds just had not co-operated.

It must be nice to be able to spend 15-20,000 dollars on Cameras and lenses and other apparatus...plus have enough free time or traveling money...or both.

Back in the 90s I worked for myself and me and my business partner set our own schedule so time wasn't an issue...and I made a lot of money.

And I was an idiot..

The cost of equipment is why it’ll always just be an expensive hobby. Even if you make money selling pictures, the per hour wage after you edit isn’t that good. I’d rather just not sell them and share for everyone’s enjoyment.

Wrong. Smokies. Nekkid. Pot Brownies.

Hope she’s ok Weezer. InVol still loves Pretty holly and bought season tickets.

We are gonna go through all of our pics from the last six years and put the best ones on different size canvas prints and try to fill a whole wall in our living room.
