To quote Fred G. Sanford.
Well my day started off last night actually. I decided that Friday I would go out and shoot some. Put both batteries on the charger and went to bed.
Got up had a nice breakfast. Made a few phone calls for my "other" job and had to go look at this guys shower. Well I get there and we get to talking. Seems his company makes the carbon fiber bodies for the Indy cars. We start talking about doing some stuff (photos) for him. He wants a nice big 8x10 foot shot for their shop wall. Ok, I am sure that can be done, I don't have a clue as to how but I know it can be done. Just a matter of finding the guy who can print that big.
Now I leave him and we have an appointment for me to fix his shower next Tuesday and afterwards, I will come by his shop and we can talk more about the BIG project.
So now I am on cloud nine, thinking of how this client will not only turn into a one time good paying job but, maybe a long term source of income. Ok I am ready and all psyched up to go out and shoot some stuff today. I drive up to Crown Hill Cemetary because there is an old War Veterans section with the stones all in perfect order and a flag flying right smack dab in the middle. Also I want a few shots from a hill that is the highest point in Indiana, which is in the cemetary.
I get there, get out survey the veterans shot and decide where I will do it from and how I am going to compose it. I go back to the car, grab the camera bag and get out the 50 and the 100-300 in case I want to zoom it.
Now here is where the big dummy part comes in.....take one guess where my only 2 batteries are? Yep about 7 miles away at home still sitting on the charger.
So I came home at lunch and now I am headed back out. When I return and check this thread, I better see plenty of "You moron" replies, because I deserve that!!!!!
