–Picked up yet another Leica M9 at UPS. Very nice, with intact sticker on the bottom (I took it off) and just over 1,000 shutter activations. Each of the black M9s has tiny marks, but I’ll likely stay with today’s; serial number is much higher for one thing. Still don’t know about M9 vs. M10-R.

–I successfully set up an electrolysis rig and ran the Erie Spider skillet through it. Seemed to work fine (there wasn’t much rust on the skillet). Meteorite next.
