I got a very unexpected surprise bonus of sorts from work.
Anyway after crunching the figures I worked out that after selling off some of my gear that will no longer be needed an upgrade to full frame photography was going to be nowhere near as expensive as I assumed.
Since I'm starting to enjoy taking pics more than ever figured if I didn't take the plunge with this opportunity it would never happen.
So.

I have the camera in my mitts as we speak and just about to put a memory card in it.
The lens should arrive Mon-Tue fingers crossed.

Needles are cool. Unless your phlebotomist sucks.
Also, one of my favorite things was getting the lidocaine injection in my pretty gnarly ingrown toenail that was infected. It was such a relief getting that sucker taken out. Surgery under local anesthesia is so much better than home surgery. I highly recommend it.

Only 39 of these graded 9.8, it's tripled in value since I bought my first one in 2011. Hopefully it will stay that way. The encapsulated bag has some waves in it giving those reddish lines, looks great in person.

You can never have enough bulbs. It's Sod's law if one goes and you only replace the one, others go out just to taunt you.

I'm assuming the contractor installed them all at the same time when the house was built so they'll almost assuredly go out at give or take the same time. Also, it drives me crazy when lamps in the same room have a different color temperature so I hedged my bets and bought enough for all the cans in my living room/kitchen/dining room as its one large open space so they're all the same.
Bonus - all 14 LEDs use about the same power as 2 incandescent lamps. 👍
The other 16 cans in the house will be replaced in a similar fashion, too.

We had a discussion similar to this last year when I was looking for bulbs for my garage. I bought brand new CFLs and found out quickly that in the cold, they were worthless. You suggested LED. Since that conversation I have replaced ALL my external garage, house, and landscaping lights with all LED bulbs. And I have at least 35 landscaping lights. I use the daylight style because its a very nice bright crisp "white". Well worth the conversion. Not a single landscaping light burn out yet even through the winter. Usually at least 1/4 of those would have popped from snow accumulation if they were still incandescent bulbs. Not a single bulb went out since last year.
On top of that ALL my 69 Camaro internal and external lights have all been switched to LED. LED is just the way to go all the way around.

That is one crap LED bulb.
13w and only 650lm
That is 50lm/w
It must do something fancy to use extra 5w or been dirt cheap and i mean $2 dirt cheap.
we have 7w LEDs that output 600lm that are $12

This bulb is 14w and outputs 1400lm

750 lumens, not 650.
The floods they're replacing are 65w, 605 lumens, so even if they are "crap" it's still a lot better.
To compare apples to apples, the A lamps I have are 9.5w, 810 lumens and cost about $7 each, if that makes you feel better.
Conversely, looking for a flood light on bunnings, I found this one, but mine didn't set me back $35; they were $10.
