And Sunday being a "Take Care of Myself" day, Monday finds your narrator at a photo shop for photos for a new passport. Stand here [click], five minutes please.
The historical display case contains numerous Kodak cameras of varying vintage. On a top shelf inside the case is a Praktica with a Vivitar zoom lens. And I see many Vivitar lenses, and they were certainly a sort of Peavey of the camera world. And there! Bottom shelf, a pristine F3. As I look at the Praktica, I see the ASA adjustment on the top and see just how clearly the function is integrated. Very simple and .. practical. So cool beans, oh and really didn't think the photos would capture my tie dye. But they did. They seen me coming anyway with the gig bag on my back

Nice snag. Opening licks remind me of Alan Wilson.
We'd hafta open a whole new thread for "the one that got away" stories.
The one that got away ... last seen in Amsterdam on his way to an ashram in India ... he did ask, what on earth was I thinking?
The blues, got them Monday blues.He makes no secret about what he wishes had transpired 30 years ago, but he also realizes it's water under a very old bridge. So, we remain old friends. We don't chat often, but now and then catch up on life. That's about it.If he keeps texting you there's more to the story... so says the detective..... You come across as a fine person.

If, by some quirk of fate, we should both end up single at the same time, then it might be nice to reconnect. But I like my life the way it is, and single is not something I'm looking to do, so I wouldn't exactly welcome whatever quirk of fate might create that scenario. Some things are just better left in the past.

It seems like every time you post a picture of something you see during your typical day Will, to me it looks like the kind of picture postcard I would love to be sending from a dream vacation spot when I'm spending a week or two.

I take it that you didn’t buy the F3.
Still waiting to see the bag you mentioned...

The F3, like the others in those three cases, is on display as a museum piece. The new stock on the other side of the isle is all digital. Took pause at how small the F3 seems, and then recalled I'd never seen one in the wild without a motor winder.
We used an F3 (sans winder) on our (big-azzed) Bencher M3 copy stand (actually, it was a very large table, around 3' x 6', with the system mounted to it, along with the vacuum easel we placed on top of the table) when 35mm was required, otherwise the Busch Pressman D lived on it.

Thank you kind sir!
Drops mic...........................................
I'll do you one better..........................
Thank you sir. Being as the cowboys were always shooting at us in the mooovies I never much took to line dancing... 
Cowboys shot at everyone. Many were thugs with guns and had no morals.
The only "cowboy" mooovie I like is Silverado. Best western (not the motels! ).

Clint Eastwood is currently 89 years old. He was big on shooting people in his movies.
Trivia question: did he shoot more people as a cowboy, or as Dirty Harry?
I would guess as a cowboy. One of my favorite cowboy movies of his is "Two Mules for Sister Sarah"...
