I got together today with Mark and Ron. The "big group" will get together next week, but it is helpful for the 3 of us to work on harmonies in between. Interesting thing today: Mark brought a guitar he has been working on: a G&L Telecaster that he installed new pickups, new controls, and new locking tuners... it was a good guitar that is now an outstanding guitar. Mark likes to have a project; might as well be guitar related. ;-)
It was a good session; we'll have some new things to bring to the big group. Plus, I really enjoy these guys.
When I got home, there were a couple photography-related things waiting for me: a new compact tripod (lightweight but reasonably solid and nice height) and a circular polarizing filter for my DJI Pocket 3 camera.
"What does a polarizing filter do, Jim?" Thanks for asking. If you noticed in the photos I posted yesterday, there were occasional reflections in the windshield. A polarizing filter can help reduce those reflections, with an added bonus of making the sky a deeper blue (by filtering out certain "waves" of light). The downside of a polarizing filter is it reduces the amount of light that gets through the lens, so it isn't a good thing to have on there in low light situations. On the Pocket 3, this filter attaches to the lens with magnets, so it is relatively easy to remove when you want... but it is small.
"How small?" Here's a photo showing that filter on the lens on the Pocket 3...
It's that little orange ring around the lens. We'll see how it works; I am hoping it makes a difference.

Murphy has been getting plenty of outdoor time... some of that time is in his catio. It has a calming effect on him; may be because he can't run and jump. He can be a very active fellow.
Yes, he was talking to me in the photo above. The catio is 3 levels, plenty of room for him to stand, sit, or lay down. He seems quite content in there, so he can relax and have a 360º view...
