With GPS but not connected to my phone constantly, I have been pretty happy with battery life.

I went the Heltec V4 route and DIY'ed and it was not difficult. I am happy to share more if you are interested and DM me.

The Heltec V4 is power hungry compared to others but also has the most power for TX(some firmware shenanigans makes this not always the case but it is improving). If you do not care so much about long battery life it is a great option. To give perspective with a 3000 mah battery I am still lasting days.

I am interested about that big ass pot. Was this a drive in camp spot or did you lug that beast with you?

I think you may be looking at the wrong Greg Brown, as there are two popular musicians with that name.

The cake Greg Brown looks to of been born in 1969 or 1970.

I love a good Hamme film. Thanks for putting this together and I will jump in this week.

I am a sucker for kaiju films. I am there.

I broke out my keys and there are a handful that fit the bill based off what I can gather from your photo, so I won't venture a guess. That white powder though is a common trait called "bloom" for some Russula. Cool stuff I have never seen that in Indiana before. Beautiful picture.

I can see why you gave up on Russula ID's. I kept coming across a wide range of colors for species. From purple to olive for the same species! Mushrooms are so strange and that is why they are fun.

Hey Magpie, mind sharing the region the mushroom was found and I will do some digging in the books.

I have similar purple Russula in Northern Indiana and I know I hunted down a species once.

I watched every Evil Bong movie in October. It was enjoyable but man were some stinkers part way through the run. I will forever think of those terrible songs they slapped across the series "God Smokes weed" being at the top. Favorite part is they must of hit up the local strip club every time shooting started for the naked Girls, they are different every time.

I'll chalk up Evil Bong 666 as my favorite.

I ended up grabbing a Penguin after your review. I am loving the sheep's foot profile. Thanks for all the effort you put in here.
