A vehicle is driven in the seated position. Take the peas with you, man!

Perhaps times have changed for the worse, but I doubt it will take six weeks.
All best,

You think that would be good news right? Well it is, but I can't get to it

I just had the big "V" yesterday and I'm sitting at home on the couch with a bag of frozen peas in a place they really shouldn't be, but feel oh so good

My wife is out for the day and I can't drive the other car for fear of doing some damage while I heal.

Oh Fate, why must you mock me?

I should be sitting here playing with my new toy

Wow aint that another swift kick in the beenbag for yah
Man now all you need is for the wife to come home and say shes prego again... that last time did apairently count and the new K20D set will have to go back to pay for the new car seat, clothes and turning the digital darkroom back into a nursery.
LOL
I fully understand man, my K10D (originally) arrived when I was out of town, got the call saying it was at home and boy did I want to get it right than.

That is great news and yes, you should be playing with your new toy. Don't be affraid of driving, just be carefull. No chances to get something wrong. Just probably a little discomfort.

And about your big "V" day, don't forget to "purge" the lines at least 20 to 30 times before attempting your refurbished equipment use before removing all the external safety gadgets. And even so, for peace of mind, do get a quality control check after a month or so.

You're a sadist, DB. (But I agree , it's a noble thing to do your bit for overpopulation. Congrats, ViS. I'll send you some long-distance Reiki).

Please, call me Gary, it's in my sig.

No, I'm not a sadist, I'm just a bit warped in the sense of humour department.

So how's the toy behaving so far? (talking about the new one. what you do with the other one is completely your business.

)

ViS · 11-08-2008, 06:59 AM

New toy is great. Not being too mobile, I haven't gone past the back yard, but I'm certain I made the right choice

I put up a few pics in the photo forum.

Oh, and warped is the only type of humour worth having

Peter Zack · 11-08-2008, 07:09 AM

I used to have a deeper voice myself at one time. Snip snip and it's one octave higher

As for the 6 weeks, well I think rburgoss has it right. Purge the system since there are still plenty of swimmers around capable of adding a 3rd to your sig pic. Healing only takes 3 days.

It's a shame to have your 2 favourite toys not being used to the fullest.... But the zoom will extend once more after a time.

stevebrot · 11-08-2008, 10:30 AM

I feel your pain man! Well, maybe not quite. My jewels are still intact, but my foot is wrapped with frozen corn (I prefer corn to peas for this purpose). I had one of my toes straightened and pinned yesterday. Wouldn't you know it but my brick of Ektar 100 was in the mailbox when I got home from the day surgery center. I am really looking forward to trying out this new film, but crutches and cameras don't go together really well.

And with the new "crop factor" he will likely get an additional 1.5x extension and additional DOF!

My uncle had a vasectomy last year.

Said the best way to minimise pain and damage was to keep the ice on there, but walk backwards. He swore by it. So give it a shot if it's still giving you trouble.

Also, do us a favour and change the vowel in your nick.
