Great news Tom.

Looking forward to your post: "Four ways to shoot 8.5 FPS" :)

well done daaaaveman.i remember that joke from years ago.Still one of the best bumper sticker/t shirt slogans ever :wink:

Right now I'm working on, "Four ways to shoot your life's savings."

I figure I have about three weeks to live---that's when the credit card statement comes in. Fortunately I have somewhat cushioned the shock by selling the 50mm f/1.0 and one of the 10Ds. I'll also be selling one of the 100-400s pretty soon, so maybe it'll be okay.

If not, it's been great knowing you all. :cry: :lol:

Have you written your will yet, belmondo ?
We could be great friends, you know ?
:wink:

During those three weeks I intend to do everything in my power to wear the camera completely out. :roll: You probably wouldn't want it by then. On the other hand, my 'Pet Rock' is like new. I'll see that you get it. :wink:

Is the battery charged yet? Huh? Huh? Come on, stick some AA's in there and show me the image.
Way to go Tom!
Uhhh, when yer making out the will, you can put me down for a white sofa and matching end tables :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That 100-400 sounds interesting (as if I can afford another lens now).

As for the will, do consider that we both share a similar name, "Tom". As well, we're both bipeds most of the time. In fact, we're probably related, cuz. ;)

[Tom W]

PS - Congratulations on your new purchase. I hope you enjoy it for years.

It's deeper than that...we're both Tom W.
Unfortunately, I've developed quite a bit of disdain for relatives lately so that's probably not a good avenue to pursue.

BTW, the battery is charged and I've actually taken a picture of the Venetian blinds in my office (well, I really took 5 pictures of the bliinds in a little over a half a second). Unfortunately I have my '1st of the month' bills to pay that I must shuffle through before I can have any fun, so for once I'm going to do the responsible thing and pay about half of them before I get crazy. The other half will just have to wait. I have priorities.

See previous post to Tom W.

Sofa and end tables being shipped as soon as Gitzo gets here and I load him up.

Let me see.....three legs, three thousand miles.
You should have the sofa just in time for your 80th birthday. :lol:

I will defintely get a picture of that. :wink:

Those decisions are usually made 'spur of the moment'. It depends a great deal on what I've been drinking recently. Of course now I can't afford to drink, so it might be quite a while before I get the necessary inspiration to ever be so creative again.

Just as well, I suppose.
:wink:
