hahahha.

i almost lost it. big time. i have been trying to Craigslist a leica camera. every idiot out there has been calling me. "is it a real leica?" whatever.

out of the blue, a really nice lady calls. she has just survived cancer, and has always wanted a Leica M6, and thought my price was more than fair. we talked on the phone and she was comfortable enough to set up a meeting near her house. we chatted about everything. cancer, life, traveling, and our love of photography.

we hung up, and i rushed out to buy batteries for the light meter in the Leica. came home, put them in..and NOTHING! apparently, my light meter went kaputs. could be the batteries? i went out in the garage, grabbed my multi meter and sat down in my living room to check the batteries. yup..fresh batteries..did i install them backwards? checked the instructions..nope they are in..my light meter is BROKEN!! i look up, and my wife's cat is chewing my multi-meter cords into pieces..ARGGHHH!

my wife laughed at me trying to chase a lightning quick cat. i am soft and slow. i calmed down, and looked at my much diminished in value camera..and called the lady. what a bummer. she still wants to see it. i may just let her steal it from me at a very low price. like just the cost for the lens..

what a day. life is funny. a mere 10 minutes later, what seemed like such a big deal is just a stupid funny memory. whatever. camera is junk, multi meter junk..haha.
