I actually collected a few of those for pretty much exactly that purpose.

My ideal would be a monolithic piece that held everything.  Or maybe three 
trays for lenses of different diameter ranges.

For a lot of lenses I'd guess that one of the insulated holders for beer cans

incognito case

[Larry Colen]

The ice chest for my incognito case arrived today.  I just prototyped some 
dividers out of the box it came in.

I think that it definitely has promise. I need to figure out something better 
for the dividers (if I had a 3d printer that might work, but foam and a hole 
saw might be better.

Google photos implies that their photos are available to anyone, but the way 
they specify you don’t need to run google photos you might need a google 
account to see them.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/4xx9sQvo2FUeL6kNA

It’s about the size of a pelican case, and about 1/8 the cost.

I’m interested in any feasible suggestions for making dividers that’ll hold and 
cushion the lenses.

Here’s the cooler I made it out of, about $25 with tax etc.

Re: Small sensors are better than you think

[Paul Stenquist]

I stream Amazon Music Premium via Bluetooth to Klipsch RF7-3 towers and a 
15-inch subwoofer, driven by a Pioneer AVR.  Last I checked Amazon had the 
highest resolution files available for streaming. A wide range of musical 
styles and countless selections are offered.

Re: PESO: Dogwood Bud

[Daniel J. Matyola]

The legend is cute, but of course, there were no dogwood trees in the Holy
Land 2,000 years ago.  Dogwoods are endemic to Eastern North America, and
only very recently have they been exported to other countries.

The colorful white, pink, or red of the dogwood trees are not petals or
flowers, but "bracts."  What the legend refers to as the center of the
flower is indeed the entire flower.

I suspect it's more of a Southern US "Bible Belt" thing, because the dogwood

Re: Small sensors are better than you think

[John]

The thing about YouTube for music is it has exposed me to such a wide range of 
musical styles & genres that I would not have otherwise encountered.


When I run across a "keeper" I play it into a program called Audacity and save 
it as an MP3 file. My car radio has an input where I can connect a USB stick 
with MP3 files and play them when there's nothing on the radio I'm interested in 
hearing.


I have about 100 hours worth of music on the stick before I  have to repeat a 
piece. It's an extremely eclectic mix.


Mostly Jazz, Pop & Rock from the 40s through the "naughties" and about half of 
it reflects of how American music filtered through Europe (particularly France) 
to their former colonies and came back to us as World Music.
