I can't think without my camera!

To answer Kitty B'Gosh. I have to think that all cameras have a shutter wearing our number. It's just that with film cameras you don't go crazy shooting a zillions shots. You would have a roll of 36 in your camera and are careful. Digital you can go through 100 shots easy in a day. Wedding photographers can easily go through at least a 1000 shots a day.

Looking at forums, most professional cameras SAY 100 to 200,000 shots. One forum had Canon D10s going 65,000 shots. Seems a Nikon D70 only gets you 15,000 shots. It's an old camera and one of the very first Pro-sumer digital Cameras. It's a relic now, like having a Windows 98 computer. I would not mind buying a Nikon D5000 if I had an extra $700. Way better then the D70 and half the price.

Happy Anniversary Josh and Jenny!!!!

Hey - it's football season!!! I was watching a show on ESPN last night and one guy was predicting the Packers to make the Super Bowl. I'm, not sure about that but it just shows you that they are headed in the the right direction.

On a website, ten talking sports heads were talking about the top 10 games to watch in the NFL this year. The Packers were in 5 of them. Three had Vikings vs. Packers, one had Bears vs. Packers THIS week and one had Ravens vs. Packers on Monday night Dec 7th (best defense in NFL vs. Best offense in NFL).

Also - Dallas should win 7 games and fire their coach. Favre will not be playing next year as his 3rd team in 3 years will see their folly (he will start hot and finish cold).

In baseball - I'm starting to think the Brewers might not make the playoffs. I'll wait until after this weekend. They better get hot!

Iron Man. They are setting up Iron Man Village 50 yards from where I'm sitting and I see yet another Iron Man death occurred (number 8 this year).

One thing - if you are looking for an opportunity to steal billfolds and purses here it is. Looking at the "athletes" walking around after they did the Iron Man. I figure I could push those guys over and all I'd have to do is walk very fast to get away after grabbing their money. They are waddling around all stiff legged. Not that I would do that, just an observation.

Another observation - these people drink coffee like there is no tomorrow and don't even think about going to Noodles for supper this weekend. The carb freaks are everywhere.

Actually carb loading does not work for woman. Women have a lower respiratory exchange ratio than men, with men tending to use carbohydrate for energy and women tending to prefer lipids. Women don’t ingest carbohydrate in sufficient quantities to facilitate muscle glycogen storage. All carb loading does for a woman is make them gain weight.

We got home after work last night and there is a high pitch electric squealing in the living room. The kind you can not locate. We finally figured out it was the fire place. WTF. What is there to squeal on a gas fireplace! So I clean all the dust and still hear it. I go down stairs thinking some electronic gizmo is bad and I shut the circuit breaker (on the fireplace, yea sounds odd). Lights go out and the squeal is still there! WTF.

I shut off the pilot light and it's STILL making noise AND a tick tick tick. DJ and I look at the manual which is pitiful for a pretty good fireplace (Mendota). Then while surfing the net she finds an answer.

The remote control battery. When the battery INSIDE the fireplace is getting low it will send out a warning sound. WELL - TO BAD OUR MANUEL DOES NOT TELL US THAT!! You would think this would be something that they MIGHT want to mention at some point.

grrrrrrr
