Lots of fun watching the climbers on the Monument. They are easy to see with my spotting scope, but 300 mm lens is not long enough to show the climbers. Do I need a 600 mm lens? Well, I’d have to take the scope off the tripod – so I don’t think a need 600 mm. I am way too old to hand hold 600 mm.
Fun fact – there are 4 climbers and 2 are women. In the last century, I posted this story about women climbers on “the world wide web”. MANLESS ASCENT OF DEVILS TOWER The candy bars are a little cheesy – but – that was pretty cool in 1998.
Now on the mental/moral/physical funk.
- No action yet. Still in denial.
- Losing 10 pounds. Well, I isn’t that bad. It is only 5 pounds. Diet is underway. Eat 1/2 as much – exercise 2x as much. So far so good on this front.
- The economy and my equity portfolio is going south again. So, this is happened before.
- And the leaky apartment didn’t help anything. Well it is a rental leaky apartment.
