OT Sweet Helmet
I’ve been playing with the u4/3. I’ve taken to just keeping it with me rather than one of the Pentax bodies. Mostly because it’s a lot smaller and lighter, but also because it’s less expensive. I’m having a few challenges with the UI, couldn’t figure out how to bracket. The image quality is a lot better than my cell phone, but the raw files seem a bit more delicate, or fragile than, especially, the K-1. Much, much less dynamic range for one. I also find the evf to be a mixed blessing, particularly for dynamic scenes. I do suspect that the newer bodies do much better in terms of both sensor and EVF.
Last week I road my bike up Zayante road to the summit. The volunteer fire department had this amusing recruitment sign up on one of their stations:

If anyone is curious, I also have some photos of planes landing at SJC at sunset, and a few shots from another bike ride as well

Interesting. So, are you a Roadie in your spare time?

I call that my “anyroad” bike. It is suboptimal for technical uphill offroad, but the day before I went on a somewhat shorter ride where I rode up pavement and back down the hill on trails.
Sunday was 29 km and 620 m of climbing (according to Strava)

Monday was 29 miles and 2900 feet of climbing
47km & 890m

Well, you're doing much better than I am. I haven't ridden my Bike for
months. When I do, it is usually for accurately measuring Race Routes
using the Clane-Jones method. I have a Trek road bike - hopeless for off
road with those thin tyres.

I really like the aircraft images, especially the second one, P1011308.

Says I have to be signed in to view the planes landing ... which is odd
because I AM signed in.

I guess they don’t have many volunteer fire departments in NYC. You don’t get paid, you get dragged out of bed at weird times, but you do get a cool fireman’s helmet.
kind of like this one from another local VFD

I wasn’t quite able to get a good shot of a plane in front of the prettiest of the clouds
