I received my 2nd dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine today. Yay for science!
Besides a sore arm, I feel great. I’ll be ready for shot #3 in no time! 🥃

Mariko bought this little contraption to grow some plants. We added some seeds of “edible flowers” so we’ll see what sprouts from those. Regardless of the success of the harvest, the light is kind of neat but creepy at night. I like it!

Today I had to pay the registration fee for my motorcycle and decided to ride my bicycle to the county tax office to take care of it. It was a nice feeling to use the bicycle instead of the car to get things done. Soon, though, the Texas heat will be upon us and any bicycling will involve lots of sweat, so trips like this will be less pleasant than it was today, but for now, I will enjoy the comfortable weather.
In related news, my motorcycle is now registered again. Yay!

I’m pretty sure that within the next day or two I will be ordering a new camera. I still love my Fujifilm X100T, but the aperture ring gets stuck often, and now the entire lens assembly is getting loose. I suppose I could send it in for repair (and I probably will eventually), but it’s a good time for the new camera because we’re upping the quality of Mariko’s online cooking classes, and looking for a main studio camera.
FYI Mariko’s current cameras (Fujifilm X-T10 and Olympus E-PL9) aren’t able to work as webcams (the HDMI ports only display photos, not stream video), so a camera that can do that is essential. The plan is for the new camera to work double-duty as my everyday camera, and as a studio video camera when needed.
I almost 100% sure on which camera I’ll get, but will do a little bit more research just to make sure. Exciting times! 📸
