Musings of a fool.

And Now the Copilot version

Experiences: This Sunday, feeling bored, I drove down to the Sportsman Warehouse to pick up some 9mm ammo. After that, I checked out a Walther PDP. It fit my hand really well. Leaving the shop, I went to my truck and emptied my pockets, which had the ammo in them. While doing this, my wallet fell out. At the range, I shot my new Sig P320. It has a nice trigger and is well-balanced in the hand. However, it is a little large for my hand, so I'll have to work on the grip. The sights didn't work for me, and I need to get shooting glasses to see the sights properly. Getting old sucks. After finishing about 100 rounds, I went to look at red dot sights. I decided to buy one and reached into my pocket for my wallet, but it wasn't there. Oh shit. I went to look in my truck. Using the Findit app on my phone, I saw that my wallet was in Federal Way, not in Factoria, which is about 28 miles apart. Then I noticed all these text messages of purchases at Walmart. Crap. I spent the next half hour locking all my credit cards. I called Verity first to get the card replaced and have them remove the charges. Next up was the Discover card. Same thing. PayPal was closed. Go figure. I was able to do everything for Apple through the app. I still called Apple to make sure everything was shut down and marked as disputed. Just in case, I loaded the shotgun and placed the flashlight in an easy-to-reach spot. On Monday, I took the day off to run around and get my driver's license replaced and a new debit card. I went to the bank and made sure the credit and debit cards were reported and got a new debit card. It's hard to live without a debit card in this day and age. The DMV wait was only about 20 minutes, shockingly fast, and it cost me 22 dollars. Costco was next. This wasn't an issue, but I had to show a photo of my old license and my temporary license. I do hope the people who used my card got some good stuff, basically for free. On Tuesday, I filled out the documents for a work replacement card and called PayPal to have everything shut down and a new card ordered. Now I have to wait for the replacements to arrive so I can fix all my auto-pay. Fun

This is an AI version of the last post. Grammerly.

This Sunday, while feeling bored, I decided to drive down to Sportsman Warehouse to pick up some 9mm ammo. While I was there, I checked out a Walther PDP, and it had a really nice fit in my hand. After leaving the shop, I went to my truck and emptied my pockets, which had the ammo in them. Unfortunately, during this process, my wallet fell out.

When I got to the range, I shot my new Sig P320. It has a nice trigger and is well-balanced in my hand, though its a grip is bit large for me, so I'll need to work on my grip. Unfortunately, the sights didn’t work for me, and I realized that I need to get shooting glasses to see the sights properly. Getting older has its challenges. After finishing about 100 rounds, I decided to look at red dot sights. When I reached into my pocket for my wallet to make a purchase, I realized it was missing.

Panic set in as I went to search my truck. Using the Findit app on my phone, I discovered that my wallet was in Federal Way, which is about 28 miles away from Factoria, where I was. Then I noticed several text messages about purchases made at Walmart. Great.

I spent the next half hour locking all my credit cards. I called Verity first to have my card replaced and to dispute the unauthorized charges. Then I called Discover and did the same. I found that PayPal was closed, which was frustrating. Fortunately, I managed to handle everything with Apple through their app but still called them to ensure all issues were resolved and marked as disputed.

Just to be safe, I loaded my shotgun and placed a flashlight in an accessible spot.

On Monday, I took the day off to run around and get my driver’s license replaced as well as a new debit card. I went to the bank to report my credit and debit cards and received a new debit card. It's surprisingly difficult to live without a debit card nowadays.

The DMV visit was shockingly quick, taking only about 20 minutes, and it cost me $22. Then I went to Costco, where I didn’t encounter any issues; however, I had to show a photo of my old license along with my temporary one. I can't help but hope that the people who used my card got some good stuff—essentially for free.

On Tuesday, I filled out the documents for a work replacement card and called PayPal to shut everything down and order a new card.

Now, I just have to wait for the replacement to arrive so I can update all my auto-pay information. Fun times ahead.

Every year I plan on writing more things down, but(alas) I don’t. Shooting more pictures and working on my music. Alas, I don’t…. Life…

This year will suck. An election will be between one old man and a dictator. And yes Trump wants to be king.

Darkroom – Black and White I think I got that down. Color, not at all. 1. check for classes on color film printing. 2. build out a darkroom, dry side. ether in a tent or my closet. The closet might be a little too small. 3. Enlarger. Most likely used not new with a color head. Also should be 35, 120, and 4x5 capable. 4. Wet side will be the bathroom, but the kitchen might be easier in this apartment. 5. Shelving and storage for “all the great artwork I will create.” ;–)

What else?

I just developed some expired Adox CHS 25 Art film. Wow. I developed it in HC-110/B and it looks good. I'll be trying out some Scala 50 soon. I'll do the negative first. After I get the Scala Reversal Kit I'll do the B+W slide. Now just waiting for the film to fully dry. Then I will scan some images and post them.

Do you like to use Black and White films for your photography? And enjoy developing the film yourself. You should check out unblinking Eye.

Film stock varies in availability, so I have to look at more than one site. Also, B&H will work in a pinch.
