What it was like when my latest camera arrived

We shared a laugh about it after our little interaction.
I do the same thing when they get packages, we've been doing this little joke (and a few others) for years now.
For those curious the item over the ostrich's face is a Graflex Speed Graphic 4x5 camera. Mine is not in as good of condition and needs some TLC, but not only was I expecting that I'm happy to see that I'm going to have to service it. I like to fix things lol
I don't have a problem

I don't plan to buy another one any time soon... but what's the harm in knowing which one I'll buy next?
Just gotta service the ones I got before I can justify buying another old AF film camera.
Maybe one that actually takes 35mm film instead of 120 or 4x5...
Me explaining our congressional district's shape to my friend

It literally starts in downtown in one major city, cuts through uninhabited wilderness, then around the state capital (but not in it) to another major city's downtown core. Oh and grabs a third downtown core out to the east as well after going through another uninhabited wilderness.
EDIT: There are worse ones in the US, but this one (literally) hits close to home.
I'm making good financial decisions again

I'm joking of course, no good financial decisions are made by me at 2am.
I bought a large format film camera from 1939. Specifically a 4x5 film camera.
And I technically bought it about a week ago (at 2am), and it's due to arrive between tomorrow and Monday.
I've shot a decent amount of medium format film before this (even developing it myself) but I have 0 experience with large format.
Worst case scenario I restore it and eventually sell it, best case scenario my photography hobby broadens further into more formats.

Not kink shaming BTW.
My only regret is waiting so long to go

At least I got them to chuckle when I said, "With the rate I'm going do I get like a stamp card and the 5th diagnosis free?"

My Patched Pants

Yes I patched them myself
Yes I know the patches stick out
And yes I do wear them out and about
EDIT: The back also has a few patches for those curious.

Me to my mechanic friend

And I do actually mean help here and not "fix my car while I watch"
Basically we both work on it in different spots so we get the work done faster, we tag out when a specific thing is being a headache, or I do the thing and he guides me through it so I don't make my car a lawn ornament (my favorite)
