Another Update
As I mentioned in a recent train image I uploaded, I recently got a used Nikon D800 DSLR camera, and a Nikon Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm lens. My goal was to have a camera that can take night photos, which means I also need the Nikkor AF-S 14-24mm lens. This is the best one for night shots with a D800, but like the other lens, even used ones aren't cheap, and it will be awhile before I can get one. For now I'm not going to use it much as it will take a lot of work to figure out how to operate it to it's fullest extent. And my other camera still beats it for now... aside from a dark spot that I have to edit out of most of my photos. One reason I can't get the lens yet is I'm saving money for my trip next month. I'm planning on going down to Arkansas with a friend to catch the solar eclipse (I'll probably be dead by the time the next one comes around), and some railfanning. I wanted to find a hotel in Russelville (in the total path), but all of the hotels there (and everywhere else
Harmonycon 2024
Well another Harmonycon is in the books. Here's how my trip went. Friday I left home at 2AM Friday with the goal of getting to the hotel by 10AM. Something seemed strange though.... Oh yeah... No winter weather to worry about! It was in the 50's when I left, and the only weather threat was rain Saturday and Sunday (I'll take wet over frozen precip anytime), so the trip down was easy, aside from the usual tensing up while driving through Oklahoma City and the last 30 miles into Dallas. I didn't have to worry about going too far off the interstate as the con's new location was the Hyatt Regency next to Reunion Tower, which was just off the interstate. I made it to the con at 9AM. Way earlier than I expected I was hoping to get a parking space in their north lot, which was closest, but my worst fear came true and I had to get a spot in the south lot... Almost 1/3rd of a mile from the hotel entrance 😫 . So after getting checked in early, I spent the next hour using my little push
2024 forecast
Well another year has started, and as I type this there's already 8 inches of snow on the ground, with another chance coming plus arctic air which will keep anything from melting. Lovely. As for projects: I'm getting closer to finishing the Equestria Vector Thrust skins. Once those are done I will try both DCS World and Ace Combat 7 ones. Both of which aren't much different from Vector Thrust skins. And aside from some drawings I want to do, I have no other MLP projects lined up (doesn't mean I won't suddenly decide to make something). I do have another R/C pickup project ongoing. Another Planet Toys Nissan like my Celestia one. This one won't be pony themed (but will still be able to carry pony plushies). I got it off Ebay with the intention to use it for parts for my other to try and fix the steering, but it had the same steering issue (IDK maybe that's how it supposed to be). 2 of the tires are shot, but I used tire glue to hold them together, and hopefully I can find some
HarmonyCon 2023
Wasn't sure if I would, but I did attend HarmonyCon this year. I almost didn't because after the drive down on iced roads last year, I had no desire to do it again, and sure enough overnight the Wednesday-Thursday night before the con we got a winter storm. Just like before. It wasn't looking good, but we wound up only getting a dusting of snow and ice, and by the time I left early Friday morning the roads were fine. So away I went... on only a couple hours of sleep. Friday I left at 2AM and got to the hotel at a little after 10 as planned. Though I had to drive around once to try and find a parking space (some of the spaces were blocked by construction). Finally saw someone back out and took the spot (I had a room there so I should be guaranteed one). Got checked in and unloaded, and went to get registered. My first stop as usual was the vendor hall. Did a loop around and saw Rimiplushies had several, including a giant Luna. Asked the price and it was $850. Normally stuff like
