North 40 Reserve Park, Historic Stewart Farm Walkabout

We headed out to the North 40 Reserve Park in Delta, BC, and the Historic Stewart Farm in Surrey, BC.

It was quiet at both sites, but got a few wildlife/nature shots.

I didn’t feel like carrying Big Bertha, my 150-600mm Tamron, so all of these were shot with an 18-400mm Tamron using an FTZ adapter on a Nikon Z50.

And thank you to Yumi, my amazing spotter. Always good to have a second set of eyes along that also love nature and wildlife!

Adding 12TB Drives to Storage Arsenal

New pair of hard disks arrived today. 12TB — if my poor math is right, that’s about 600,000 times larger than the first hard drive I bought and installed in the late 1980s — I think it was 20MB 🙂.

The computer was a no-name 8088 that was built from parts from Akihabara in Tokyo, originally with a pair of 5-1/4″ floppy drives. There was a foreign guy who built PCs. Adding the HD was a huge advancement back then!
