RE: Confirmed starting date for season 2 of the IFC and a new piece of artwork.
Still drifting in and out, not as much chatter out of me lately, but still doing the votes, and still trying to post.

I see. Glad to hear you're still around even if not as much! Do you mind if I ask why you're not around as much? Does it have to do with the politics of steem? Or just other stuff in your personal life perhaps? Either way I hope we will be gifted with your presence at the IFC even if it's not as much as last time. Much love friend!
I think it is just evolution/change on my part. When I first came to steemit, it was for the reading and the stories. Then an individual asked if I would help with onboarding, I was back then a lot more chatty in comments and asking questions and learning as I read, and then got semi caught in my first steemit drama, where a lot of people were slamming authors and story tellers.
then I enjoyed IFC after that, and while still helping new users.
Then got a camera, and loved going on photo hunts when I could. (health issues that are improving). So got more into posting of photos and playing around some of the photo places.
Then tried doing some writing, some stories, some photo stories, so just in general evolving on steem blockchain.
I still like helping people when I can, I still try to find a new person to promote and give a leg up, I try to help pull unjustified negative reps in my eyes, back out via daily votes to help reputation recovery.
Oh and for a while I was enjoying steem monsters.
So new year, and no clue where it will lead, other than away from stagnation, stagnation is death, so I just sort of flow and drift. Oh and also I have really actually been kind of enjoying the current steemit soap opera politics.
So yeap, I will be around IFC, and a few of the others mentioned above, being retired has some real perks, you can chose the pace of change, or just accept it as it comes. I am more into accepting it as it comes.
Sounds like I missed out on some great entertainment! I am glad to see you are well @bashadow, I was just stating the other day that I am tired of the stagnancy in life, there has to be more change! I am glad to see there are others who are starting to realize this! I have missed the IFC chatter and am glad to say we're back!!!! I hope to see you around when the Season starts! Enjoy the evening! Glad to know you are in better health! Keep pressing forward!
Ah. I see. Thanks for going into detail about that.
I think it's good you're evolving/changing and switching it up and trying to avoid stagnation. I need to do more of that myself. :) Also yeah the steem drama can be a bit entertaining at times, and discouraging at others.. Though if you have the right attitude and aren't too invested in the outcome then that's great I think! The people who have the right attitude will probably do a lot better in the long run than those who get frustrated and rage quit so to speak. Heh.
I'm not sure I remember the part about you getting a camera? I wonder which camera you got? Looking forward to learning more about that and seeing some of your photography in the future. :D
Also that's awesome to hear you're still helping others and newcomers. I always loved and appreciated that about you.
I bought some steem monsters decks a while back but never played unfortunately.. One of these days I need to try it out! Maybe we could even do a quest centered around it as it seems so popular.
Glad to hear you'll be around for the IFC! I have a feeling it's going to be a fun and interesting season and I'm also looking forward to the new music that's going to be created! That song you made really inspired me and opened up a lot of possibilities in my mind. I think the second or third quest is going to be about making a new song and I really look forward to that a lot! Cheers bud!
Well, season two, February=second month, first weekend day starts on the second. So 2-2-2, a good start time. Time to catch the train, toot toot toot. Silly number two joke.
For christmas 2017 got the wife a nice Nikon D7500, it was a nice camera, of course I ordered it at the beginning of december to beat the rush. She liked it, and I liked it, and well you just can not share a camera like that. So I decided to get a second one for myself. Of course Amazon hosed me over for christmas so did not get it til March time frame of 2018. We wanted a bigger zoom lens than the one my wife had so we could bring the mountains closer to view, so that was this years christmas gift, one we could share.
The new zoom is 300mm, and it is taking a little bit to get used to, but I have been enjoying it.
Oh that's cool! I didn't even recognize the numerology involved, neat how that worked out! Thanks for pointing that out. Also.. It took me a moment to get the train joke but I liked it and it made me chuckle! Heh.
And ah.. Bummer the package took so long to get there. Nikons are quality cameras from my understanding, not familiar with that model though... Looks like a lil over 20 megapixels? Nice! My father just got the Nikon D3500 and it's an awesome lil camera! I'm really happy for him, it's got great quality and it's super small and easy for him to use.
That's rad you got a 300mm lens as well! I imagine you're prolly getting some good wild life shots with that? I seem to remember a really cool eagle shot you got before? Was that with the Nikon, or..? I look forward to seeing some of your pics. Have you posted any recently? I'll have to check out your blog soon when I get a chance and see. Cheers!
