Wife comes in while I'm working on my computer. I'm there looking very satisfied. She asks me what I'm smiling at.
"Oh, I lit this street portrait perfectly."
That's what counts as excitement around here. I love using speedlights and I'm just so happy when I nail the lighting in the wild.

Hmm first time I've had the top off in ages, I guess I should check it's batteries and PSU; there doesn't seem to be any crud around the batteries.
It's got a little board from CJE which I think lets you switch in the extra EPROM sockets vs extra RAM.

My local grocery store has an aisle labeled "conven. breakfast" where all the granola bars, poptarts, etc are sold. Presumably this is an abbreviation of "convenient".
My brain keeps trying to interpret that as an abbrevation of "convent" and I picture a bunch of nuns sitting around a table eating poptarts
