Hey, John. Good thing I talked you out of going to Disneyland today. I woke up with a severe case of the lazys and decided not to go after all, myself. I hope Heather wasn't hoping to meet me there. Maybe I should text her and let her know I'm not there...

I'm sure she was fine. The two interns that went with her kept her busy enough.

Nice new to you truck John!!

Permagrin wrote in post #8116340
yeah it's a very nice looking truck great color

It's turning out to be a hassle to register. The title is from Virginia and the truck was last registered in Florida. I have to get verification from FL that there was never a title issued there and verification from the former leinholder that the vehicle was actually released. California's CS little rules are preventing the signatures on the VA title from being valid.

A quiz for photographers about photographic accessories:

A. Hats:

1. Meh. Take 'em or leave 'em. I've worn them at times, but it's not all that important. 1 point.
2. Oh, heck yeah. Essential. I have different hats for different settings. Floppy, ball cap, fedoras, driver's caps, you name it. 2 points.
3. No way. Never. People who wear hats all the time are dorks. 3 points.

B. Vests:

1. I can see their use, but I've never been too interested in them. 1 pt.
2. I love 'em. I have everything in my vest. It's so handy. 2 pts.
3. You gotta be kidding me. You'd never see one on me. It's embarrassing. 3 pts.

C. Nikon:

1. I'm a Canon person. To be honest, I don't know that much about Nikon. 1 pt.
2. Nikons are good cameras. Very comparable to Canon products. I personally like Canon better, but I have good friends that shoot Nikon. No problem. 2 pts.
3. Oh, c'mon. Get serious. I will kick you in the neck with a large shoe. 3 pts.

D. Bird Photography:

1. Ooo, I'm interested, but I've never got the hang of it. 1 pt.
2. I have a number of great shots of birds. I find it a vital part of my portfolio. 2 pts.
3. Oh, euphoria! I love to shoot birds! I could spend all day on a bird shoot, any time of year. 3 pts.

4-6 points: You're doing great. You have some room to grow in your photographic experience, but the potential is there!

7-10: You seem like a rational, well balanced and well dressed photographer. The world is your oyster.

11-12: Hi Chris.

LOL!!!

A solid 6 here...

Ok now this is just wrong. The kid on this weeks cover of Sports Illustrated happens to be a 16 year old high school sophomore from Las Vegas. He is supposed to be the next great baseball player and from the video I have seen it may be true. However his decision to forgo the last two years of high school, take his GED and then enroll in Community College all to be eligible for the 2010 MLB draft seems kinda stupid to me.

http://sports.yahoo.co​m …cision-to-?urn=mlb,170270

And what happens when he does blow out the knee? He's not going to be qualified to do anything except coach and won't be able to do that because he has no degree or credential...

But people have this same conversation every time a young star comes along. Sometimes it works out like Sidney Crosby. Sometimes it doesn't like Ryan Leaf.

Please... Ryan Leaf is a dirty word in San Diego.

It's a big town, there has to be a knucklehead or two.

The other day I posted a picture of one of the knives I am working on. Several people commented on the pattern in the steel. This thread in another forum shows how the pattern is made in the steel. It is a very interesting read if you like science, construction or arty type stuff. The stuff you actually care about starts with post #15.

Mike will definitely like it.

There are a lot of conversation posts as well. Just skip over those and only pay attention to the posts with pictures in them. The final pattern in the steel can be seen in post 107.

No link?

I still think I did something wrong. This time it went a bit faster and found near 300 files, which sounds about right. I am copying them to a hard drive now. Most are TIF, but a couple are BMP and XLS. Here is a screen shot.

Someone used to do that on the Texas photo forum I frequent...but they lost the habit of doing it. It was only like 3 things each weekend anyhow...and one of em was always the same. HOG meetings.

Think he might have been a Harley rider?

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like; speaking English is apparently what kills you.

OK, but that still puts a large percentage of you leftpondians in the safe bracket

Nope...all my Canon RAW images have an .XLS file piggybacked to them...contains the metadata for the image.
