2020 NFL Draft/Offseason thread

Slides?  You mean his photos?  I dunno, he readily admits to throwing away 99+%.  He has a top of the line Nikon with some incredible lenses and goes on these bizarre vacations.  And he's about to by a Sony mirrorless camera, which he say's is awesome, but expensive.

[FearlessF]

yes, figured he bored you with hour long slide shows of his bizarre vacations

[Cincydawg]

No, he's on Instagram.  The wife shows me his better shots.  He's not boring at all.

He was over for dinner last night telling me about this Sony $35,000 camera kit he's wanting to buy, but he's delaying it because he can't travel.  (I brought it up.)

He has Nikon gear now, and I'm thinking I might buy a lens off him if he doesn't need it any more.

He has been to some crazy places on the planet mostly chasing photos of wild animals.

I was musing about what we each individually spend our money on, I imagine some of us have near top of the line gear in some area of life.  I don't, personally, what I have of interest is sort of "low middle" stuff that is very functional and does 90% or whatever of what the top of the line gear does.  I guess my sound system is the closest thing to being mid-range that I own, not counting the condo.

I used to have some Heinkel Harris furniture but I only have one small chest left of that.  That is, or used to be, decent stuff.  I didn't get much for it selling it.

[FearlessF]

yes, I feel everyone should spend money on what they enjoy in life without others judging them

my passion is golf and Husker football, but I don't spend for any high end stuff

I did pay good money for tickets to a couple Orange Bowls and a Fiesta and a Rose to watch the Huskers, but nothing crazy.

I purchase golf clubs on eBay a couple years old and slightly used.  Saves half the price of new.

Most of my expenses are for travel, outside the usual going costs.  I've been not spending of late obviously.  And my investments have come back remarkably strongly.

So, I'm in the bizarre situation of having money to spend and being unable to spend it.  That beats the alternative.

My google image search is cheaper and better.

Yeah, but you're breathing the same old stale air in that house you've been holed up in for 5 months. 



Getting out and breathing, seeing and hearing a place is the way to go.

[FearlessF]

plenty of those places within driving distance for me

I do have a current passport if needed

almost went to Ireland a year or so ago - brother got a different job and screwed it up

[Cincydawg]

I enjoy interacting with the natives.  Usually.

[FearlessF]

I usually stop in Oklahoma on my way to and from Texas and interact with the natives

Seahawks trade safety Bradley McDougald, TWO first round picks, AND a 3rd rd pick to the NY Jets for Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams and a 4th rd pick. 

Seahawks just got fleeced. Piss poor trade and value. Adams is very good, but he's not life changing. You're not getting Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu. Not even close.

Seahawks lose this deal. By a lot I think.

[FearlessF]

2 first rounders is too much

Specially when you wrap half of them around trees or toss them in to ponds
