A while back I got a STOK Grill. I wanted one of these and asked STOK for one along with several different inserts. They sent me a bunch of inserts and the grill. We have used it so often and we love it. We have not used the griddle insert yet, until today. I made grilled breakfast that consisted of eggs, pancakes, sausage and steak. Inside I made bacon and potato patties in the oven. Breakfast was delicious. I learned more about how to use the grill and griddle inserts. I made a video about it, as well.

Allison and the kids went with her mom and mom’s friend to the zoo. They also had her mom’s friend’s daughter-in-law and kids with them. After we all had lunch at the house they went off to the zoo while I hung around the house making some videos. My father-in-law worked on his computer out on the back yard because that was the nicest and coolest place. I thought that the basement would be cool for me to make my videos but it was just extra hot. So I made two videos and got upstairs. When I went to throw something in the trash barrel I saw this dragonfly. I had to get back downstairs quick to get my camera. I love shooting dragonflies.
The dragonfly stayed in the same place for a very long time. It was there even after everyone had gotten home hours later. But it stuck around for me to take the photos using the new 50-150 S lens that I have on my Samsung NX1. The NX1 is a beefier camera than the NX500 and even on that camera the lens looks incredibly huge. I steadied myself on the recycling container and fired off a couple using the manual focus. I love using the focus peaking feature because the camera lit up the wings like a wireframe and that looked very cool.
