I have my Garmin control the lights on the Trek, and that works pretty well.
I have those Specialized Stix lights on my other bike, and they are manual control only.

Like I said, it's a nice little bonus. With it, there's no need to touch the Varia, other than to mount it - the light starts and stops with the start/stop of your activity. Oh, the other nice thing, and again I don't know if this has changed recently, but the Varia 510 couldn't be operated with the radar on and the light off unless you had ANT+ Light control. I've never had any complaints about the light in a group setting, but it's still nice to be able to turn it off as a courtesy while still getting the benefit of the radar.

I'd have thought so, yeah. But they moved a few older posts from C&V over there, IIRC.

Shopping for a wedding photographer, and trying to hit a price point. I think I'd rather be roasted by a cannibal on an open spit.
It seems the current lingo is "investment" rather than "price." They are only fooling themselves.

"Tools in the toolkit" seems to be the phrase of the day. See if you can incorporate that into some meaningful questions. "At the end of the day" for extra credit.

Actually, I want to know what tools they have in their toolkit! It seems every girl over 18 with a Canon Rebel is a wedding photographer.

When I got married the future FIL volunteered to do the photography, being an amateur photog with a bunch of nice equipment. I don't remember if we gave him any money for expenses or whatever but the pictures came out really bad. He took a ton of them and I don't know what he did wrong but the lighting or exposure or something was really way off.

And then you have to deal with the bride and her mom.

Nothing worse than the bride and dad/groom walking down the aisle with everyone holding their phone up trying to the the "perfect" photo.

Tooling along in good spirits though. I have a nice collection of audio books saved up.
AND. I'm resting comfortably in the hammock. Imagine being laid up in that infernal bed! The timing of this one was good.

Her mom was a sweetheart. Never had any issue with her and never heard a negative word from her. Her husband the photographer was cool to me but known to be a dick to his wife. He was actually my wife's stepfather and she couldn't stand him.

That's a different relationship than wife and step-mom.
