I have the 50mm f1.4 from Sigma. Excellent lens.

I've defaulted to buying Canon lenses till this Sigma, the 50L is one of my most used lenses and if I didn't own the 70-200/2.8LISII, the Sigma 135/1.8 would be next.

At least it's not a vacuum cleaner

I think I'll enjoy this just as much as her. Win-win.

I love my Canon 135/2L. The DOF on the Sigma must be razor thin at 1.8.

Cool. Have fun with it. I had a B6000 that I got from my father. It was a great little tractor.

A neighbor of mine has a similar tractor with a huge mow deck and dual grass buckets. He works for Kubota. When we get more than a few inches of snow, he usually goes around plowing everyone's driveway. He's saved me some back breaking work a few times.

Some artwork/sculpture for our credenza.
A constant reminder of what we all need and need to do.

Per an earlier post I already bought a new pizza stone, but decided to try to get my Emile Henry pizza stone replaced under warranty. It worked - they sent me a new one. Still like the other new one better, but this is good for heating up homemade frozen pizza and as an all-around backup.

Nice!! I did the two day school years ago, a great time! One tip, take a dramamine the morning of. I got that tip from a fellow forum member before going and when I took it, other drivers laughed it off. At lunch the first day I had five people asking for a dramamine.

And if you have any spare time while in the area, I'm happy to provide suggestions. Assume your staying at the Marriott that BMW has used for years.

If you have track/auto cross experience, you likely won’t benefit from the Dramamine, but most folks haven’t experienced higher-g cornering, and so they start feeling queezy after a few minutes on track.

Same thing happened at my M-school. About 1/2 of the class lost driving time when they had to stop (take a break in the middle of a session) to settle their stomach. One even pulled out at lunch of the first day.

I never would have thought to take Dramamine. I am either staying there, or I can get a family rate at another chain.. tbd. Thanks for the tips.

I did a day at Pocono in 3/4 scale Indy car trainers. But we topped out at like 85-90mph, so even though the low driving position, open wheels and cockpit were a thrill ride, we didn't get enough speed to start pulling any serious Gs.
