Beautiful, powerful day out at the Oregon coast. I don't remember the last time I felt the wind blowing that hard. #oregon #oregoncoast #haystackrock

Ordered a sort of Halloween palette of fountain pen ink. Not entirely on purpose, but I'm delighted with the result.
Birmingham inks are really excellent, BTW. Highly recommended.

One of my abs favorite inks. Intense and strangely difficult to pin down with regard to hue, and a bright, metallic gold sheen to top it off.
This color is part of Sailor's "Ink Studio" series, where each ink is given a number instead of a name. That said, I think of this one as "Disco Era Pink".

At least the pen & ink aren't crashing.

Put the last pedal on the board. Top board looks good.
Bottom board isn't powering up. Pulled a plug somewhere.
So now I go fishing, trying to find & re-connect the loose cord. Can't see anything, have to go by finger-feelies.
Should be fun.

NPD: Fortin Amps Zuul+ noise suppressor
The last pedal on my board, at least for the time being. Going to be tough to fit this one in, but it'll be well worth it.

Rented Shin Godzilla on Prime without checking to see if Japanese audio was available for this Japanese film & now I've paid $3.99 for several hours of frustrated cringing.
Maybe you think that's cheap but I usually get it for free.

And now the 3rd and final enhancement, revealing that I'm really just a couple of forest spirits disguised in middle mgmt attire.
Still not a fan of ai on multiple principles, but if anyone addresses the issues with IP, licensing, attribution, &c., it'll at least be a fun way to pass the time.

The 2nd and third ai enhancements.
The proportions are getting a little weird. The color of the trousers is a bit light if you ask me, but I kind of like the flare.
Also, the reflection in the water is a nice touch!
Just don't look too closely at the hands.
One more to go.

The first enhancement. Nice! The jacket looks pretty true-to-life. The pocket square is a welcome addition, might have to get a real one.
Proportions are already a little weird. My head is huge IRL, but not THAT huge.
