Replacement Lens is here in time for a nice Sunset

As I had included my Sony A5000 Camera and its lenses in a Valuable Property Insurance Policy back when I first purchased the camera; it was covered for accidental damage by the insurance company. 

Surprising right?  I had managed to drop the lens back in Montana, last week, and the zoom mechanism had failed; rendering the lens unrecognizable and therefore unusable by the Sony camera.

There was some paperwork to be done by the insurance company but soon I was cleared to buy a replacement lens.  I ordered it from Amazon and it got here today.


Rest assured, I will be adding the new lens to the insurance policy as well.

Pretty lazy Sunday otherwise, did some tidying up on the motorcycles such as repairing the mount on Scarlett's tank bag and mounting the USB charger outlet more securely.

Cleaned out the stuck brake piston on Scarlett's sidecar brake caliper so that it now moves again.  Craig H. had spotted rust on the brake disc, a sign that no contact was being made by the brake pads.

Also replaced a muffler clamp on Scarlett's exhaust pipe jumble of adapters and tightened things down to hopefully not vibrate loose again.

As Sunset approached, Scarlett and I rode out to meet it at the usual spot.

Nice images, but I especially love #2 with the bike centered and the rays behind it!

Great sunset photos! Was there moisture in the sidecar brake fluid? I guess 4 years isn’t too bad for replacing the fluid...
