RF gearhead = gearhead generally?

I have 5 Swiss army folding knives.

I agree with Nh3, anticipating a package in the mail gives me a lift. I just received a package today with a Zhou case for my M2 from Youxin Ye. It's nicer (supple leather) than I thought it would be.
 
I like cameras and cars at the moment .
Old, new theres not much difference if i can take it apart and fix it i like it.
My last daily driver rust bucket.69 vw type 3 squareback

And my not so classic car that i enjoyed before it was totalled

I spent many hours in the garage on both of them ,My red car was everything i ever wanted.

The 69 squareback was the car id wanted since i was 13 , that wasa rust beater of an example but if you want a fun classic car , you cant beat a rusty old vw , as long as the floors hold you up and it runs you can drive it anywhere. I put 200 miles a week on it when i had it.

Ive had cars other than those , but i liked them the best
 
For me it was electric guitars and motorcycles for no other reason then to play and ride. I like the fact that I can tinker with them, changing pick ups to beef up the sound or re-jetting the carbs and such. I no longer play nor ride but still take pictures. The mechanical aspects of Leicas and 'blads do appeal to me. I appreciate the workmanship that is now mostly gone. But I accumulate a lot of RF lenses because many has been made in M or ltm mount. I am sure I would have done the same if I had gone into M42 Pentax.

Duck foie gras, and they are not mechanically force-fed; have you ever watched a duck eat? They cheerfully swallow whatever you can pour down their throats.

From The Simpsons (of Homer)

First man: That man eats like a pig!

Second man (thoughtfully): Nah... Pigs tend to chew. More like a duck.

Addendum: A duck is pretty much an eating machine. Pigs show considerably more intelligence, so I have more sympathy with them. If one is on the morally dubious but biologically highly defensible path of eating meat, I don't have much problem as long as the farmer has what might be called reasonable respect for the animal. What is 'reasonable' is very much a matter of opinion.

Cheers,

R.
