Happy Mother’s Day!

Mom and Kids

I came home to Lego day apparently. My son is doing a new House Lego, my daughter is doing a Sonic one, and my wife is working on a Kingfisher. Also in the photo is a Lego chess board.

Took a few vacation days with the family to catch the Braves for 3 in Houston. All wins!

It’s a couple generations old, but I grabbed a lightly used Fujifilm X100F. As a beginner-ish, it’s such an appealing camera. I’m still learning my way around it and playing with settings/recipes, but I can definitely see myself using it often.

It’s Opening Day!

My Top 5 Flashlights to Carry

For years, I’ve been in what many call the EDC Community. Basically, that means I’m more cognizant of what I carry on a daily basis. Technically speaking, everyone has an EDC (or Every Day Carry). For most people, that includes a phone, keys, and wallet. Others take it a step further with a pocket knife or leaps and bounds further with a fully stocked sling/bag.

One of the most common extra items is a flashlight. If you’re questioning the necessity of carrying a flashlight by asking, “Why not use the flashlight on your phone?” then you likely aren’t the individual who needs to carry a flashlight. But if you find yourself needing a legitimate standalone flashlight often (perhaps due to your job) or just want to see what it’s like to carry one, this list is for you.

The festivals are starting!
