Red-Ringed Tupperware Party with Tin Foil and Scrambled Eggs Hats (8)

Well I feel a little better than yesterday, but if I start to cough I can barely stop and it doesn't sound good at all. Hopefully the doc will figure something out.

I have a stupid dry cough that I think I've finally attributed to my blood pressure meds. I had this once before, and switched prescriptions then, and it cleared up. She (Doctor Longfinger) changed me back a couple months ago, and the cough returned. It has gotten progressively worse, until I reached the point where I was having coughing fits complete with gagging, choking, tears, and the like.

I stopped the meds a couple days ago, and it's improving. I have a call in to her, but she hasn't bothered to call back yet. I suspect I'll have to go back to the last one.

Yeah, but I'm afraid most of them will be a little too difficult. I also got a couple I'm not really sure if they're hard or not (I've learned I'm not a very good judge of that).

I still need to go back again before my current passport expires (exactly one month from today). We should see if we can plan far enough ahead so that both of us can go together again. Heather too, if it works out.

I know she's going to have one day off next weekend, either the 28th or 29th, but I'm headed up to Riverside on the 29th for the annual arishow at the Riverside Airport.

Been reviewed on here, too . . .
Nope - there's an EOS T-adapter out there; start using that old gear!

I just went and got the lens out of the attic. It's a 450mm f8. It's longer than my 100-400 fully extended. The mount on it is for one of the old screw-mount cameras. I also found a set of screw mount extension tubes. I still have two cameras that use that mount, so maybe I'll keep the lens, although I doubt I'll ever shoot with them again.

---> name of Dr. Longfinger
---> bad allergic cough
---> just in case I forgot something to be 'd about

Dr. Longfinger is a name I coined. I won't go into specifics.

Probably, but in case it isn't I wanted to get in on Friday. Also, maybe they will give me some good decongestant meds. (Here we have a have a prescription even for the real sudafed)

When is Lisa headed this way, again? I hope we have a chance to see each other again. Tell me it isn't next week. I already have plans for next week...

I think she's taking off around the 28th, and she'll be down there around the 31st until the.... 9th, I think?

She can be pretty wily.

yep...and I asked to borrow a tripod

nice photos everyone...I didn't quote them because I thought I was going to run out of allowable attachment things.

If necessary, I'll buy some flowers.

At last count, I still had 4 tripods. We're good.
