I got this 'ozark trail' flashlight at walmart on sale....pretty nifty, bright as heII and cheap....looks and performs kinda like the stream light strion, but I paid $30 instead of $200....we shall see how it compares in regards to durability.

Indeed. We're on the supershuttle to our house. If I get constipated, I'll be sure to tell you.

Well I hope everything comes out OK!

[Jim Richards]

Oh yeah.

[GH85Carrera]

Lets think.....

It is 4:00 PM and I have had to slave away here for two days by myself.

I guess I am in charge of everyone today and I think everyone should go home 30 minutes early.

Everyone here agrees.

I am outta here.

I'm being totally serious. When my dad goes on his week long photo adventures, he almost always borrows my D300 body as a backup. On lighter trips, he brings a compact Leica as a backup for his D800. He and I both make backups of the cf/sd cards nightly as well. Lastly, it's better to have several smaller cards, than one big one. Small card fails during the day and you lose a few pix, large card fails and you potentially lose everything (if you don't back up at the end of the day).

I don't do enough photo worthy stuff to worry about it

afternoon/evening all.

Tomorrow should be interesting. First gig with a fill in bassist.

If you are drawing flies try standing next to someone else might not be you.....

So I slept through the Northridge quake and I haven't felt any of the smaller ones we've had since 1994. But tonight I was on the second floor and about 20 miles from a 5.3 and on soft ground. Happened about 9:11pm. Got a good ride out of it. P wave, S waves, and surface waves all obvious. Even a little aftershock. My parents' place is in the Santa Monica Mountains which are too solid to transmit anything below a 7 apparently, as they did not feel a thing.

[slodave]

The one a week ago or so was in the Santa Monica Mtns, 5 miles down and it could be felt.

I heard one scientist say the LA area has a 99% chance of a major earthquake in the next 10 years. I just hope it does not happen when I am in Monterey in June.

[azzarule]

well I hope it doesn't happen just after Jim finishes his house!!

[RKDinOKC]

Thought we had an earthquake the other day, but checked my drawers and it was just a fart.
