Gun shop had it listed at $850. Gonna try to get my boss to go out there with me in the next few weeks so he can get one for himself.

I'm waiting on JeffBlue and Toxik to get here... they are leaving NYC now so it will be a while.

I had a good day. Stopped to fuel up before heading to the gun store. A guy with an e92 M3 pulled in behind me to fill up as well and he started asking me all sorts of 5.0 questions. Ended up talking shop with him for 10 minutes or so after I finished pumping gas. Nice guy.

Went to my favorite local gun shop to look at the Glock 19 and Glock 17. I already have a 26 and was determined to go and only buy one. It was going to be a tough decision between the two but I thought the 19 had the advantage because the last time I held the 17 I didn't like it as much. Well... I hold both... and I LOVE them. Ugh.

Ask the guy to put them up and show me 1911s while I try to make my mind up on the 17 or 19. My boss wants a 1911 so I was looking around to see if there was anything he would like. Sure enough I found a few I know he'd like. Problem is I like them too. So not only do I want the 17/19 I now want a 1911... Not today, I tell myself. I'll get a 1911 later.

Tell the salesman I need to think about it some more and walk around the store looking at stuff. Come back... I want both.

Bought both and headed to the range. Rangemaster laughed at me for bringing 4 pistols (G26/19/17 and a Kahr CM9). I laughed at me too. Next time I'm going to bring two max.

Had a good time.

Stopped at Wally World to see if they had some cleaning patches or any other ammo other than Federal Champion in 9mm. No dice. But I did get to park next to a BS 370Z Coupe with sport package!

And now I'm here!
I went to the corner store to look at their candy bars today. I'd been thinking about either getting a Snickers or a Butterfinger. I already had a Baby Ruth, but I really wanted another candy bar. I held each one in my hand, knowing that both were really tasty. Ugh. What a tough decision.

I put both down, while trying to choose between the two I picked up a Hershey's bar. My wife really likes Hershey's bars. Should I buy her one?

I bought all three. Spent $3.50! My wife laughed at me for bringing four candy bars home!

It was a great day!

Yes, work is busy. The good news is my expertise is needed in a different area, it's cooler (temperature wise) and is loaded with a bunch of new technology to work with. I'll be back to my regular posting in 3 weeks.

Have a safe drive and have fun with the new lens

Nothing but sun, heat, and 135% humidity here. Swimming lessons for Mini GaleForce this morning. I also need to make a trip to the transfer station to get rid of some drywall scrap, and I need to do some painting in the basement... But I really need to take the Z out of the garage, I need more hours in a day.

Do you use a polarizer? A polarizer cuts shine and lets the colors pop...especially if a lake ir pond involved-cool-photography in the rain!

hi blackcherry- not this morning as the sun was too low and overcast. i use circular polarizer in the hot sun (thanks to mr.onzedge's coaching. )

i need to play with the foot-zoom more but i was able to get the slightly blurred background so i was pretty happy for today.

Rondomness (playing with a scanner today).

Shot in Fairfax County, VA 1979 -- my 1967 Datsun Roadster and my Blue Oyster Cult shirt. Geesh.

Meeting up with gurneyeagle and his crew in Austin. Going to be riding along with Mr. Ron since I'm a bit too emotional to even drive my own.
