A loyalty program worth the effort.

Since I travel frequently I am able to earn cents of per gallon using my BP Visa in conjunction with the new BP loyalty card.  I recently saved $2.19 per gallon using my BP card.   Shell also has a similar loyalty program that is expanded to online discounts with over 700 participating merchants.

Another fantastic golf tournament.

Waking up at 6:00 and driving 2 1/2 hours to River Landing in Wallace, NC was worth the effort.  I was able to participate in a MDS golf tournament on one of the most beautiful courses that I have ever played.

Although my game is far from good and I donated several balls to the water, I enjoyed the beautiful weather and course.

Myrtle Beach Skywheel

If you are planning to visit the Myrtle Beach area the Sky Wheel would be worth the time.I've considered it several times and finally decided to take a ride.  The view is wonderful and the ride is very smooth inside the air conditioned compartments. During my next trip I plan to take a night ride above the beach.

The Cube

I remember being challenged by the Rubiks cube during my Junior High School years.  I had the patterns and movements memorized ad was able to solve the puzzle in just under a minute.  I barely remember how to settle one side of the cube.   I'll admit to visiting the official webpage and watching a few videos to learn the correct patterns to complete the cube.  My new best time is less than 5 minutes and I am pleased with this accomplishment for now.

My new toy.

The new Canon 5D MKIII was released in March and I waited to allow time for glitches. However, my Pocket Wizards have yet to be reversed engineered. I'll be using the basic infrared communications for my flash system until PW gets their programming updated.

So far the images are amazing and I'm loving the extra focusing points allowed. 

Jason Mraz 2012 - "Tour Is A Four Letter Word"

I've been a Mraz fan for several years and was happy to have the chance to see him in concert for the second time. My first experience with lawn seating was during the first Mraz concert and now I do not think i would want to be anywhere else during a concert.   I like being able to have some space and relax during the concert.  Being lucky enough to get a area center stage is perfect for me.  The view is good and the sound is even better.

 The concert special guest Christina Perri was awesome as expected.  if you get a chance to score some tickets its worth the time.

Stone cold photo assistant.

Sometimes I have to improvise while I am shooting photos. Today I needed to lighten the load. I didn't have my gear wagon and the ground was wet. Fortunately this statue have a helping hand.
