Safari Freezing After 26.4

Ever since I updated to 26.4 Safari is constantly freezing. After the second, third or fourth site visited it locks up. I have to close and reopen it. Is this happening to anyone else?

Era 300 Going In & Out

I have 6 SONOS speakers, each configured is its own room. The exceptions are the Arc Ultra and Sub 4 which are in one room. The issue is the Era 300. Sound is very intermittent. It is most noticeable when watching TV. The TV is connected to the Arc+Sub via eARC. The Era 300 is positioned behind the viewing location and when grouped with the Arc+Sub the sound from the Era 300 is constantly dropping and then resuming, dropping and resuming etc. My system is up to date. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Nikkor 70-200/2.8 S v. Nikkor 24-120/4 S?

I will be traveling and am trying to keep my bag as light as possible. I will be using a Nikon Z7II and Z5II. I will be bringing my Nikkor 180-600/5.8-6.3. I'm thinking of forgoing the 70-200/2.8 S and bringing only the Nikkor 24-120/4 S. In terms of focal length I'm only sacrificing between 120-180. My question is how best to compensate for the difference between f4 - f2.8 in low light settings.

Are there setting recommendations I should try? For context I will be on safari and there will be early morning and early evening drives.

Reclaiming a Bit of Freedom

I was diagnosed in 2011 with SPMS. At present I need a walker to get around. In fact I need a walker to stand up for more than 10 seconds. That said I can negotiate the 5 steps to get into my garage and get my walker and myself into my car. That does provide freedom. But the freedom is limited to things I can do from my car, like drive up banking, or within a short distance from my car, like picking up a prescription.

Today I greatly expanded my freedom. I bought a lightweight, battery powered wheelchair that I can get in and out of my car by myself! It weighs only 29 pounds without the battery and the battery only weighs 3 pounds. It’s got an 11 mile range on a full charge.

It wasn’t cheap but as one President said “The price of freedom may be high, but never so costly as the loss of freedom.” 😊🧑🏼‍🦼‍➡️

Nine Years & Counting

Nine years ago today Marvin moved in. He's a funny little guy. If you were to come into my home you'd never know he existed. The minute he hears the door open he heads for the hills. The minute you leave he emerges and becomes Velcro Cat! It's been like that for 9 years and it works for me 😊

Timing is Everything

I was on a train moving at about 60 MPH. On the next track was a freight train moving at about the same rate in the opposite direction. I’m not sure why, but I picked up my Nikon 500 and started snapping. Among about 15 shots I found this one.

I’m an old f*rt

Once upon a time the puzzle was about words that crossed. More and more it’s about gimmicks. I’ve been doing the puzzle for over 45 years, and I know I’m a grumpy old man, but why do we need these gimmick puzzles? Imagine my dismay when I opened Sunday’s puzzle and saw a grid full of these! Enough already with the gimmick puzzles!
