What are all you young whipper snapers doing on this thread?

I've been drawing social security for a few years now but I'm still trying to learn something everyday.
The hardest thing for me is to get low to the ground to take a picture.. well not so much gettind down as getting back up..

I was fortunate enough to befriend the last WW1 US vet. He told me you do something everyday and never stop learning because when you do, you'll die. He lived to 108 years old so I'm gonna go with what the Colonel told me.

Well, I figure that any day I'll be ready for a walker, and sure that will be a new learning experience:)!

We sure seem to find that out as we age...

You've heard of a bouncing baby boy? Well, when's the last time you've heard of a bouncing old fart?

Old farts don't bounce!

And just what have you been doing to wear out the old set?

Never mind! I don't wanna know! Let me keep my illusions.

I grew up. Over 20 years ago my parents picked up a used waterbed to replace the ancient mattress I had been using. I've been wanting to get rid of the waterbed for several years now, but even more so since I hurt my back. Been window shopping and sale watching and finally found a good sale.

I like to push buttons on thingies that take pictures. Sometimes I like to push other buttons, too.
I only bite on the second Tuesday of every week, usually only mean people - they kinda taste like chicken...

I've had several Netherland Dwarf rabbits as pets in my life. All bunnies are stinky... ;)

Well, not one of those "I shouldn't have asked" kind of things. We're rebuilding a VW Cabriolet into a turbo diesel and the interior got wet, so now Bunny is a tad stinky. Once we finish the rebuild we'll have the interior cleaned so she isn't stinky no more.

OK, back to this camera thing. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to shoot some more pictures and get some feed back as to how to make them betterer. My last camera was a Kodak 3400 PNS and while it took really nice pictures, she's getting long in the tooth.
