Heaven's to mergatroid it's a  S. 1983 case?!?!?!  In that case, you will also need to upload stuff onto pacer and pray a lot.  Hope you have deep pockets those cases can bite you in the bank account! They won't even transport inmates for simple hearing in some courts, so I've heard.

It's getting obnoxious across the board ever since covid. We don't even see interpreters for people who need them in state criminal courts and some civil judges are forcing the litigants to provide private interpreters for trials. 

Also, you forgot a step in a 1983 case. It's important. It's called remember your pacer password.

I shoot film photography both 35mm and 120. I love the delayed gratification of it. The fact that I need to be intentional about what photos I take. Complete opposite of digital, for me at least 

Also shoot film.  Got back into it when I knew I was having a kid. I started to convince myself that I was too busy to keep shooting film, until I snapped out of it and made myself keep shooting.  Very enjoyable and kind of forces the relaxation that I need these days.  Plus, I have a collection of actual photo prints of my daughter through the years that will stay with me forever.

Also, cigars are probably my biggest relaxation tool.

My experience is very similar. Once kids came around I got back into it. Some of my most cherished photos of my boys are shot on film. Recently I had 10-12 of my photos blown up and we hung them around our home. I really love having photos I made up in the house. 
 

What cameras do you shoot? I have a Contax 645 and recently picked up a Contax G2. Super fun little camera. I excited to have it this summer. It’s the perfect size to bring with me anywhere I want.

I have re starter a Lego build collection. I figure all Legos are adult Legos if an adult is putting them together.

Yeah I would agree. They are really for whoever is building them.

I shoot my dad’s old Pentax from his army days, late 1960’s.  It has a great 50mm Asahi lens that I love shooting people with.  I have been thinking about picking up one of the higher end point and shoots to carry around with me for a little spontaneity.  Never tried medium format, although I would like to.  I develop everything into 4X6 prints

Spending as much time getting river therapy as possible. Not that that is new for 2023

That’s really cool you have your dads old camera.

Listening to Maiden, smoking a Fuerza, had a steak sandwich and an Italian soda. I'm relaxed 😌

Brilliant !!

Some mornings it is difficult and a bit of a task to go in. Rest assured however I feel like a million bucks every time I get out . Early morning beach swims very relaxing then a coffee or some sort of drink they make in cafe's these days. 5am this morning....then hit the gym

When the weather is nice, there's nothing like sitting on the porch with a good cigar and a bourbon (moonshine if really stressed) watching the sun go down while listening to nothing but silence. I turn the chickens loose and watch the rooster chase the hens(hilarious at times) and listen to cows moo, dogs bark and coyotes howl in the distance. Crickets and bullfrogs in the spring/summer, no cars, sirens,   loud bumpity bump stereos.  Occasionally walk to one of the ponds and attempt to hook an 8-10 lb bass whilst listening to said crickets and bullfrog. My back and knees are shot to hell so no marathons or powerlifting for this old fart.

Mountain biking through the woods on single track is a great way to detach from all the day to day stress factors. Put on some headphones, and the only thing on my mind is to try not slamming into a giant oak tree.

But a fly fishing trip with good cigars and stiff drinks is probably the best way to relax.
