Our electric rates went up, and apparently I missed the town meeting that was broadcast on the local cable because everyone was talking about it and people were bringing pitchforks. Good for them.
But what's making me happy today is what sustains me when I hate myself and my life...my family. I'm currently at my brother and sis-in-law's house, have been here since Tuesday, dog-sitting. They drove to FL to see my nephew get his wings as a heli pilot in the Marines. He will be flying Hueys and will be stationed in SD (where, as you have probably heard, the weather sucks. ![]() I love my brothers and my sisters-in-law and my nieces and nephews. I especially love my dad, who has risen to the occasion after losing the love of his life (and the best mom I could have ever asked for) and I'm just so goddamn proud of them all. I'm the worst of them and I'm not even in prison or anything. ![]() When things get bad my family sustains me. You've heard this before. But some things cannot be said enough. |

Thanks monster! I appreciate that so much.
It's an effort sometimes to try to be happy...or to remember why I should be, anyway. I feel the negativity and the worry sneaking up on me. I try to use the cognitive behavior stuff techniques and it works but it sure is hard to do sometimes. Hey, what's that behind me, tapping me on the shoulder? Gloom! Doom! Despair! Flood! Fire! Famine! Look at the flowers, Lizzie. (bonus points for those who get this reference.) |

Glad you're feeling happy, infi. You've got a great family. Don't forget you're part of that greatness.

I just ordered a new Canon DSLR and got a really good price. I recently sold some older camera stuff on Ebay and had been watching the prices on the new Canon EOS 7D MkII which is especially geared towards sports, action and wildlife as it is an APC sensor (1.6 factor) and can shoot at up to 10 frames per second. I have around $1900 in my Paypal account and I try to be as cost neutral as possible when I add to my gear.
The body has been selling at $1799 but I looked today and Canon dropped the price to $1699. I did some searches and found a website I was not familiar with called CanonPriceWatch and was able to get a new body from a dealer in Canada for $1499 with free shipping and no taxes or fees. CanonPriceWatch got stellar ratings at several photograpy blogs so I felt ok with them. I will have more then enough to buy a 65gb cf card and the battery grip. ![]() |

This from a webpage on the subject as I had to look up the advantages: Secure Digital memory cards are significantly smaller than CompactFlash cards, and are equipped with a nine-pin interface as compared to the 50-pin interface of the CompactFlash. The result of having fewer interface pins means that the SD cards are limited to a four-bit data bus, whereas CompactFlash cards have a 16-bit data transfer bus. Another major difference between these two types of memory cards is the absence of a microcontroller in SD memory cards. This puts more of a load on the host device. |

What up, Sic? Bidness, or pleasure, if it's any of our bidness?

Chicago is business, sorta. The Mrs is going to a painting convention, but the family is tagging along.
I'll be back home for a day, then I'm heading out west to see friends and see the country. I'll be sidelined for the summer due to surgery recovery, and the Mrs and I each take our own little vacations each year. I try to take mine earlier, but work has been crazy busy until now. |

Hope the surgery thing is not too serious. Vacays are always cool. I guess busy is cool, too, to a point.
