Pam scored a couple of new lenses, the little guy shown on the camera here and the white lens on the left are both new.

The little lens is a fixed 50mm F/1.4 with elect focus, the white one is a 70-300mm F/4-5.6 with elect focus and 2 different image stabilization settings.

We went for dinner, came home, and she surprised me with....

We definately surprised eachother. I guess we were both thinking something special was in order to mark 20 years.


Weezy snapped this picture a few minutes ago.

There we are, starting on another 20.

Thanks for all the nice words, well wishes and such.




Wow nice lenses!

Nice gun too. Pam let me in on the secret when I was there last Friday night. Congrats again you guys!


I am out of order until further notice. My "stupid people" filter needs cleaning and my "give a damn" batteries have run out.

A group of us from our snowmobile club are headed up to Fortune Bay Casino for the weekend. Not bringing our sleds though, snow conditions are not great this year. Have a great weekend everyone!

Hope you do better than I did last week at the casino Muffy.

We actually had snow this AM. Best guess is around an inch. Problem is the wind. It's blowing hard right out of the North. We're supposed to get down to around minus 10 tonight.

Dave,

That is beyond cool!! What I think is really neat about the whole thing is she went to no small effort to get you something she knows you really wanted. Shows alot about her and her thoughtfulness.

Congrats to the two of you and 20 years!!

Oh yeah....you also did well with the glass for her....shows the same thought patterns as your wife.

I snagged a box of PMC 230gr FMJ, and I poked it out the back door and shot a bucket that was laying at the edge of the woods.

Otherwise I wasn't going to be able to sleep tonight.

grinWOW!! I had a very high opinion of Pam to begin with, but this put the pin out of the meter. I suggest that you take the time to teach Pam how to use that bullet launcher Dave grin
