Anyone used Amazon S3 for data backup
I use idrive - and found that it’s easier to use Dropbox and it has a “sync” folder, which works like Dropbox plus it will backup macs, PCs, iPads, iPhones and NAS device.

United Airlines sucks
I hate having to fly United and lately, it seems like every flight is oversold and “completely booked”. Can’t we go back to the days of some airline inefficiency where you’d luck into having an open seat next to you? Damn, I miss that.

Learn me about Fresno, CA.
Colleague and I got stuck in Fresno after testifying as a damages expert in trial (surprisingly there’s a federal courthouse there). After flight was cancelled, we paid a taxi driver to take us to San Jose. Most terrifying couple of hours of my life going 75 and not able to see more than 10 feet in front the car at night. Fog in Fresno sucks.

Scanning old photos
I used these guys to scan close to 3,000 photos...https://www.scantodigital.com/photos i liked that all the work was done in the US (South Carolina) and they also retouched the photos after scanning to increase the image quality...well worth the price, instead of me spending hours scanning photos.

Utah national parks
We went to Zion a few years ago as part of a Vegas / Zion combo trip. Without doing too much research, we stayed at a place called Zion Ponderosa Lodge. Started asking about hiking and turns out that the place has the best access to Observation Point, which is even higher than Angel’s Landing and only about a 2 hour hike from the Lodge, without any of the life and death climbs. Anyways, views were fantastic and we didn’t kill ourselves, so win-win-win. https://www.zionponderosa.com/blog/2013/12/observation-point-zion-national-park/ https://www.zionponderosa.com/blog/2013/11/observation-point-utahs-best-view/

Agreed - they’ve always done a great job for me with some 50s-60s era Omegas.
