I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

On my GoPro first gen, there was at viewfinder that had an LED in there to let you know, but even then, when the camera was mounted, you couldn't really tell.
I bought a Hero2 to discover the viewfinder is gone and only an LED on the front of the camera lets you know if it's recording. That still doesn't help when the camera is mounted somewhere other than in front of your eyes, such as on the side or bottom of the bike, on the helmet or elsewhere.
I'm told by GoPro vendors all the time to buy a Hero3 (or, I guess it will be 4 now) and get phone syncing so I know for sure if it's recording, but that's just BS.
I liked the Contour with it's slide to record feature before the company went under. I hear they're coming back, but ... when.
Panasonic and Sony both make action cams, as well as a dozen other companies, but when all things are equal, I'm going Pentax. Or Ricoh now.
