Hi!
It arrived today.
1) it’s nicely weighted and shaped so it won’t be easily knocked over
2) the bottom has a rubber-ish ring so it doesn’t slip around
3) it has a dedicated divet to hold the top
4) it comes with a 5 ft cord, it’s a good length & should be sufficient in most cases
As long as it charges (and it currently is doing so) then I’m pleased with everything about it.
Ps - it does not ship with bourbon.

Given how close my 2017 iPad Pro nearly drove me to drink, that's a good thing.
Glad you like it so far. Thanks for the update.
My Kaviar (several tubes of tubes from Kalles from Sweden and Mills from Norway) arrived yesterday evening.
And organic socks - several pairs (blends or natural and organic material, wool and cotton, wool and silk, in differing combinations) - arrived this morning from Greenfibres.

LOL. That is a replacement burner for the water heater in the back of the house. Getting it installed when my plumber buddy has some free time. FWIW, in 4 years, it has broken down 3 times - twice for thermostat and now this burner. What a POS.

What ever I think will look good in between 150 & 600mm.
I don't have anything longer than 200mm for my D750 for the occasional wildlife photos that I'd like to take of small - large birds (if I can get close enough or if they happen to land close by). Not much of a variety when it comes to land animals on the island here other than foxes, squirrels and voles. There are reindeer but I'd need to ride across the tundra to the other end of the island on an atv to get to them, something I haven't done in a while. It's about an 80-90 mile ride one way, and then some more to look for them. I've heard of some people seeing wolves and wolverines that have come across on the ice from the Russian far east, either intentionally or unintentionally, but I have yet to see some to take photos of them. Maybe I'll get lucky some day and come across one of them. I don't think I'll take along this lens in a small boat for sea mammals, variety of seals, pacific walrus and whales. Something like a 70-300 or 80-400 lens would work better I think. I don't have either of those lenses, so I'll just keep taking along my 24-120 and 70-200 lenses until I get something a bit longer than 200mm at the long end. That, or a DX body.

Hahaha, the bourbon was an outstanding addition to the photos ... umm, I thought this was some kind of desk LED lamp
Figured it out after backtracking on the posts ...
got my first chris reeve knife. sad all my knifes were made right here in Portland Oregon. Now a state away (G) had a hard time getting a good pic with my max
no it came with it. I got this one. I may attempt to do it myself if my hands can manage it I found some cool rope for sail boats.
Love my yeti's!I don’t like to drink out of crystal because too many drunk asses at my house including myself. I have a bunch of glassware with the name of my “home bar” on them. But I hardly use those. I prefer the 10oz yeti lowball. Keeps things cool in the warmer months and they are basically indestructible.
I hear this game is going to be bananas

beautiful hardware
I’ve done some (long ago) with cotton line...simple things like monkey fists. I’ve worked with doubled braided nylon (splicing) and it was quite a challenge.
Edit: I tried working with doubled braided nylon.

Bought a new OLED TV to go with my speakers I bought last month:
kinda wanted a Damascus blade but the price skyrocketed and I really liked the koi.
Although a D750 shooter, my 200-500mm is almost permanently attached to my D7100 for extra reach. Got lucky when a Sprrow hawk came looking for lunch a few times.What ever I think will look good in between 150 & 600mm.
