–Put three Silca pumps together. They are very, very nice.

–Picked up the compass-like lens ring tool at UPS. Piece of crap. Ground it down for 15 minutes, it still wouldn’t fit the Biotar. Tossed it.

–Also picked up a gaffed deck of cards. Nicely done, but I don’t really see myself using it without hours of practice.

–Went to Bel Air for cream corn, mandarins.

–Barbecued chicken burgers for dinner at 106 degrees. It’s miserable alright.
