  1. Ah, crap, I gotta read the whole manual, not just the little brochure with the pictures?
  2. It doesn't have spot focusing. I'm really used to my Nikon N90S, and I really liked it. This 10D has focusing points in the screen and it seems like the camera chooses where to focus. I wish I could choose the focusing point. Otherwise, it's pretty intuitive, the way it operates, and it's very fast for a digital camera. Feels good in the hand. That 20mm lens is pretty freaking big, too. I'll get it in the air this weekend, and we'll see how much more I like it. JP
  3. Click "Home" then "pub" then OK let the aliens invade my computer and then post like a madman!

    I'm Happy

    Hell, I haven't gotten through page one of this nonsense and neither of you are bitches, and I've broken bread with both of you. You're both beautiful. Be happy. Can't wait to see you both again in Perris! JP
  5. WHOA! I call bullshit! I'm arriving Wednesday night around midnight with Bigben in tow. We're crashing and then gettin on load one on Thursday. I'm GONNA PICK YOU UP WHENEVER THE HELL YOU ARRIVE ON THURSDAY! (music) I'm coming out, so you better get the party started! (music off) I got your back Mouf. Hotmamamonkey! Damn, whatcha gotta do to earn a monkeyname?
  6. I don't have to look at the calendar, Q, I just look in the mirror. Yeah, fangs are lengthening, claws are growing, back hair is thickening... AH-Whoooooooooo! Yeah, full moon for sure. Grrrrrrr.
  7. Yeah, Leesa, two local DZ's are having night jumps tonight, weather's hosed so neither one of them is going to go... Somebody would have gotten all the vampire jumpers if one had gone next Wednesday or something. AND, Memorial Day week, everybody's having a boogie, but I'M going where the DZ.commer's are.... Oh, yeah, even the hotmamamonkey's gonna be there!
  8. Use a good acountant. The price to prepare your taxes comes right off the top of the following years amount owed. If you claim a deduction in good faith, and it's ruled not legitimate, you only have to pay the original amount of tax owed. If you claim a deduction that's ruled to have been made in bad faith, like buying a rig to improve your mental health so you can do your job better as a business deduction, you will be hammered shit. My wife worked out of our house as a travel agent, and we had tons of write-offs. But our tax guy is retired IRS, and we never had any trouble. I'm doing the skydive video thing this year as a home business, I'll let you know how it goes. Next year. From Federal Prison. JP
  9. Do you really wanna know? Yeah! Neato. The Christmas tree thing is cool too. So where the hell did "Brunch" come from? Hey!!! More champagne over here!
  10. Just don't eat the little bitty brown eggs that the Easter Bunny leaves. Woohoo! I think it's 38 days for me, but still dang close! WEndy W. Really! That "semi-sweet" chocolate kinda grows on you...
  11. Neat! We'll be there first thing Thursday morning, driving down Wednesday night! Maybe you can show me where the 'ON' switch is on my "copy-everything-Quade-does camera"! Willdo. JP
  12. 36 days. Count 'em. And I'm gonna knock Snow White down and kiss her next Thursday. No, the fake one at Disneyland, not B-Squared. It's OK, I do stuff like that in front of my kids all the time. Why does the Easter Bunny leave eggs?
  13. Whoo-hoo! You got back right when I gotta cut way the hell back! Supercoolio!
  14. I thought I heard something. It gets louder with rain forcasts... On the bright side, I have a new camera to play with, and I'll finally have the time to install those PIAA's on my scooter
  15. He looks kinda Tai-chi ninja-ish. Once, many years ago, I had a desperate craving for a chocolate old fashion doughnut. Had to have one. So here I am, big fat cop, looking for a discrete doughnut shop. Nobody has any qualms about razzing a big fat cop about buying a doughnut. The whole store gets into it. So there it is! Very late at night, no cars out front. "I'm going in". One lady is making doughnuts the other one is at the counter reading the paper. They both look up and at the same time say "Officer Kelly!" I was like "What?" I had never been in that place before. They're like "Yeah, we've got your picture!" Oh shit. Turns out it was my Dad's hang out, he lived in that area and was always showing them pictures. That was the last doughnut shop I've ever been in. Switched to bagels
  16. So it's probably going to be useful mostly on telephoto lenses at slower shutter speeds? Is it effective enough to eliminate a tripod? I'm thinking sunset telephoto pond swoops.
  17. OK. The IS software in my Sony PC120 is dynamite. Do the newer Canon Image Stabilization lenses work the same way? Is this the way to go? Or is the "regular" lens just as good and this is just a shiny doohickie. Any comparative experience? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bh1.sph/FrameWork.class?FNC=ProductActivator__Aproductlist_html___102854___CA753004ISEF___GREY___CatID=4657___SID=F4B429D3B40___call=features#goto_features JP
  18. ARgh. It's gonna rain in Norcal. Good timing.
  19. Yeah! DAMMIT again! I did my freaking jump but had to leave Eloy before getting my Rodriguez name! YOU were gonna help with that at Perris, but now I have to depend on Mouth and B-squared! Pffftwahahoulie!
  20. I bet you talk him into 20 grand exits all day long
  21. This is why you should always make sure I'm there. When I'm not falling in guitar cases I get great video! Hmmm. Fall foliage tour of the East Coast, starting in North Carolina up to DC..... Beauty, history, ending with the Smithsonian, this has potential...
