–Bergeon bezel tool came in. Nice.
–Called 42nd Street Photo, and they said they’d send an email with return label. (!)
–Saw algae in pool; decided not to swim. Took a shower. Gotta chlorinate every other day, so put it on google calendar.
Month: August 2020 (Page 1 of 4)
–Roasted caf and decaf beans.
–Took a swim.
–Went to Sunrise farmers market for grapes, pears, tomatoes, melon, etc.
–The Leica C-Lux, in addition to not writing readable RAW files, seems to have issues with jpegs. Plus you can’t put it it in macro mode if it’s set to any RAW output. The C (for example) puts out readable RAW and jpeg files, and you can switch to macro any time. This really sucks, since 20 MP is very nice for zooming and cropping. Further, the tiny C-Lux 3 has to be put in Program mode for macro shots. Thought about reviving the C-Lux 2, but apparently I tossed it along with the Casio Exilim. When will I learn?
–Took a 12-mile bike ride. Bike is sweet.
–Heard from ON1 regarding C-LUX RWL files. Their solution (delete ON1 settings) didn’t work, so sent them a photo for their research. They do seem responsive.
–Took a swim.
–1680 crystal came in. Installed it, and it really improves the watch.
–Celebrated Grace’s 70th birthday with presents and Edible Arrangements stuff from Jan (?).
–Spent much of the day trying to find a photo editor that recognize RWL files from the C-Lux–which produces really sharp photos even at max zoom. Capture One works, but is really sluggish. A couple of others didn’t work. Finally bought ON1 RAW, which claims to handle C-LUX. It doesn’t, though one can set up a preset with a Leica lens correction that seems to work okay. Sent a query to customer support to see if they’ll fully incorporate the camera.
–Took a swim; took a shower.
–Bike stem spacer came in. Way too narrow, though it could be an issue of bizarre steering tube on the Turbo. I just clamped the stem on as high as it would go, and left it open below. Should be fine.
–Put gas in the Honda, got apples and yogurt at Bel Air, got some take-out at Jack’s Urban Eats. Decent food, but a long wait outside.
–Installed new hearing aid batteries around 8 AM.
–Heard beeping while in garage, eventually noticed that the freezer was “in alarm” at 34 degrees. Pushed buttons, unplugged/replugged, and it seems okay (16 degrees after 40 minutes or so. Close one.
–Another do-nothing day.
–Left hearing battery went out around 6 PM.
–Back is still bad.
–Got pork chops, corn, heirloom tomatoes and a portabella mushroom; barbecued them. Dee-lish.
