We spent another week in northern New Mexico...woke up on September 9 to 3/4" of snow!
Earliest snowfall on record for that part of the state.
I've been rather busy with my corporate jets, so I haven't had time to post anything recently.
Still going over my 1200 or so shots, from the assignment I had in Roswell, NM a few weeks ago. Just can't get over the sheer volume of aircraft that are parked there. Sadly, some will never return to the skies.
I'm certainly okay with all the MD-80's. being gone, but hate to see hardly any more B-757's and B-767's in the skies any longer.
I did get to fly recently between ATL and JAX both ways on a Delta B-757, it was awesome, even if it was just an hour long flight. Rather surprised they used such big equipment on such a small route.
Great images Zane! man, wish I could've spent the day with you at the range. I need to dial in the tricked out long guns JR got me for Christmas last year, need to get comfortable with them both. We have a new range just a few blocks from home, but I really like shooting outside so much better.

Yes YOU are correct!! Can I blame my age?
I still wanted to honor those that carry on the tradition of Duty, Honor and Country, age and errors aside!!
My father always said, "Danny, to err is human! But why must you be so human?"
My never ending back up saga continues. Yesterday I spent several hours reconfiguring arrays and evaluating exactly where I am in my redundancy strategy. I use a product called Hedge for backing up and it works pretty well, the company is constantly adding new features that are helpful. I needed to update the program this morning and they had a big push on their new cloud back up system that works with their software, it's a lot more reasonable than the typical providers but still ridiculous. The fee is $30 per TB , per month. A quick run of the numbers, if I just back up absolute necessities, has my tab at over $50K annually. Makes my Thunderbay arrays look awfully inexpensive......................

One way on Amazon Web Services to reduce data storage cost is to designate data tier. So if you have some data that is old and unlikely to be needed quickly, you can put it into a lower tier (like S3 glacier). This guarantees retrieval in between 1-12 hours rather than immediate. That's at $.004 per GB. They have even a lower tier for data you may only need once or twice a year that's billed at $.00099/GB. Most cloud storage has tiering so you might want to investigate that. That said, you then spend time doing data classification and breakdown. So it might not be worth your time.
