It’s hard work… but somebody has to do it


It’s hard work…

Originally uploaded by woodcreeper.

You know things are ramping-up around here when Pete and Brian (and a number of other local celebs) do their annual optics ratings. Hours and hours (days?) of testing and rating glass after glass, all the while painstakingly recording their perception of feel, performance, and quality. Of course, this can only mean one thing…

Bird(er)s are coming!

Speaking of birds- it looks like by this evening the latest cold front will have passed, and N/NW winds will build in behind it in time for some nocturnal migration overnight. Not a major flight, mind you, but probably a good one for late July! I’ll be turning on the mic tonight to see what can be heard beyond the chorus of insects…

p.s. if you’re interested in knowing how Pete and Brian’s data collection ultimately gets used, you can read the results of the last review in the Buyers Guides here: http://featheredgeoptics.com/buyersguide.htm
