My Jeep will probably arrive after DPReview shuts down, so I won't be able to post a photo here.  BTW, it's a "mid-spec" Rubicon, intended for daily driving for the next couple of years before I retire, coupled with light to moderate off-roading.  So, no XR (my wife needs to be able to get in it) and no 392, as much fun as that would be.  I got the V6 and chose Firecracker Red.

I can't see any on mu-43. Nor on dpreview either for that matter. You just got to install a good (and free) ad blocker to your browser.

Well, some of you could drop by the M43 subreddit.https://www.reddit.com/r/M43/

Please elucidate me on your day-to-day happenings—ideally one or more times per day.I have no newsletters, I did once have a photo related blog maybe 20 years back but gave up because it was all a bit pointless and boring to relate what I was up to all the time (photographically).As for what I did today, I took my old Subaru to the repair place to fix the super sloppy gear shift and later I swept up all the leaves and twigs in my front yard. Exciting stuff.Oh, and the mouse on my kitchen laptop needed its batteries recharging.Still working on getting to 40,000 posts. It will be an exciting day, there will be a fireworks display.

following jordan and chris will not be a bad choice.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6T3qWI2c-Y

I'm on Mastodon. Nice bunch of photographers there. Bonus: It's not centralized (multiple servers) and its crowdfunded.

Only 45 to go, where is the 40k party?

Try these search tags: #microfourthirds, #lumix #olympus #digitalphotography and so on.Since Mastodon is in the "Fediverse", there's little chance of things getting shutdown. Mastodon is crowdfunded - no ads. It takes a liitle bit to wrap your head around the global concept, but once you do - it's very good. There's also Pixelfed.photog.social is a good mastodon instance

I've tried all sorts of variations on Micro 4/3 & Olympus, with no search results (on instances.social...) just a general photo instance is too general for me to wade thru... Thx Yuri
