I wouldn't wish this on anyone . . .
HORRIBLE URI (like there's a good one) -
There's a horrible URI going around which I
seemed to catch sometime a little over a week
ago. Oy!!! Got so bad I actually went to the
doctor on Thursday. Worst part wasn't the
violent coughing or sneezing but the constant
runny nose which made it REALLY hard to sleep
(I'm a stomach-sleeper) and I'm sure that didn't
help either. I think I've got most of it behind
me but the point of this is to alert you that if
someone you know has this - and my doc says it's
definitely going around - wait a few days until
they're not contagious because you'd rather not
get it.
BUT THE SHOW MUST GO ON -
Every week, we do a FB Live update for Chamber
Day called "Live @ 5." (I'm sure you ALL watch
EVERY week.) Being ever the trouper and
performer, even though I wasn't feeling well,
the show MUST go on. My biggest issue was my
voice because at this point I was borderline
laryngitis. I made it 8 minutes in before I lost
it. If you'd like a chuckle, here's the video: KEN'S
VOICE GOES ON LIVE @ 5.
SPEAKING OF CHAMBER DAY -
May 1 is the date and is fast approaching. (So
yes, I'll stop nagging you about it soon.) But
we've got a few - about 15 - seats left overall
at Chamber Eve - and we've got some boat spots
as well. There's also plenty of room for you on
the Flying Dutchman, at our virtual Chamber Eve
table (watch the live-stream at home), and we
can always use your help with the Chamber
Challenge. The direct link is: https://usc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_88ko1OUej3lAYbI
EVEN THOUGH THE MOON CAN AFFECT DIVING . . . -
This really isn't dive-related. But I'm
continuing to play with the Seestar S50 astro-photo-telescope
thing I got for the Dallas eclipse and am
continually impressed by it. I'm sure I'm not
using it to its fullest yet, but went out and
shot the moon from the roof of my building
around 11PM Saturday night. (You can tell how
exciting MY Saturday evenings are lately.) It
was a little hazy but, other than cropping to
make it square, this is right out of the camera.
I'm amazed at the detail, especially when I try
to take a similar picture with my very good
Nikon camera and lens. |
