Remainders: 07 December 2024

It is the first day of the week, Sunday 24 November 2024 and I am beginning this week’s (ha!) list of remainders.

  • MrLeica is a YT content creator and blogger who treats Leica cameras and glass, among other things.
  • Andrews Leatherworks makes some fine looking holsters.
  • After a couple of decades of being afraid to eat ham and bean soupr (DiL… “Oooh, that’s bad, Dad!”), I fond this recipe. I am going to try the the trick of using canned navy beans and washing them before making my soup to see if I can avoid a disaster (so to speak).
  • As part of their holiday sales event, Simpleshot (makers/purveyors of slingshots) did something I really do not care for — they shared my contact information with other small business in the outdoors market. I forgive them; it is easy enough to unsubscribe. One of the new vendors is Wazoo Gear. It made me chuckle when I free-associated “out the wazoo!”. Their offerings look OK to me. Simpleshot is recommended too.
  • Apple Music and its predecessor, iTunes, continues to lose the album art for my music collection. I have thought for a while now that I might want to disengage from the music connection to Apple. This list of music players might be an option.
  • Here is another set of iTunes alternatives. I think there might be a full entry on my love/hate relationship with iTunes and Apple Music.
