What I was thinking actually but I could not get on the site to post it. Maybe it was too many people clicking through to B&H or Adorama to buy a k-3?

Dad, are we there yet?

We get there when we get there!

My family's Christmas was today. I'd have much preferred a gift card to Best Buy or Calagaz, hell, even Walmart. Instead, I got VS.

Let's just say that "the girls" don't fit anything VS sells. Nursing children ensured that...

A couple years ago, my Mom gave all the guys LL Bean wool socks. Apparently, my brother and B-in-Law were kind of 'meh' about them, but I found they transformed my hiking boots from blister traps to 'wear all day'. I told her several times how great those socks were, and how I would be glad to have more like them. So the next year, she got me a tee shirt.

Sorry, but I got bored and left the thread for a hour or two to post a picture. Didn't know you could do that on this site but I figured out that if the pic was taken with a K anything but 3, you can manage attachments.

I'd just like to hope everyone who won't buy a K-3 , gets one for Christmas… and some cheese and beer.

So, has the original poster ever returned to this thread? Or are we still waiting for that exciting day along with their reaction to all this?

Still waiting. I'm sure he will be so proud of what he created. Based on prior posting history he is expected back in March 2014.

Well folks, I've got to head out for a bit. If the forum crashes or we pass 2000 posts before I get back, have some fruit cake (below) and Merry Christmas to all!
