Speaking of beer, I should go to the brewery and get another growler, but I left the empty at home so I wouldn't get my $4 deposit back.

It's mostly about rescuing a shot. Most outdoor portrait sessions are at sunset, so it's all too common with the quickly changing conditions to end up underexposed and need to push shadows to rescue that one shot you know the client is going to whip out the money for prints on... if only you can make it look decent in post. You know, that one you took when they weren't expecting it and they didn't have their "fake smile" on... the one you can't get them to redo with any amount of time in the world.
I've assisted at plenty of these. It's like herding cats sometimes. Mostly family sessions with little kids. Then you've got the props and snakes/bugs in the bushes, etc... expecting to have the camera settings perfect for 100% of the 200 snaps is unreasonable in those conditions.
Thinking about switching teams makes sense right now because we're not sitting on a mountain of lenses, and what we've got we can sell easily (or convert super cheap like the sigma art). I don't want to get stuck in a canon ecosystem where if you need pro features it's 2x the cost of everywhere else. They obviously aren't trying very hard to improve things. It's hard to get behind that.

Are those the guys that bought up the old Guru tools/machinery or was that someone else?

hoping the rain will stop shortly. I may need to build an ark if it continues.

That's not what you asserted.
And from my obviously very limited experience in these things, impromptu shots are somewhat more difficult to take to get everything to work right in a professional environment.

Inaugural ride was full of adjustments. Will likely be more to come and probably need a different saddle. Maybe longer aero bars, which I have, but what a hassle to change.
