Bobby, I gotta go talk to a guy about a thing.

Thanx Daniel!

Actually I'm expecting some new flash triggers today, might play with those a bit.

Ohh fancy photography thingies!

I read some more about that Google barge coming to Stockton. Are you guys excited? I wonder if that will be good for local businesses.
 
Don't really know. It might be good for local business by the influx of bay area people but I don't know if they are going to transplant workers or try to hire locally. Part of me thinks it's going to be here only for construction too. Stockton has a fairly large industrial center, the deck sections for the new Oakland Bay Bridge were built here too.

It will be interesting to see how it goes!

Yeah, finally went to wireless flash triggers. Tired of being limited by cables and and line of sight for either optical or nikon CLS triggering. CLS (creative lighting system) is still handy because I can control one of my flashes (SB-800) directly from my D200 without cables or other wireless triggers and little to no influence from the on board flash. But my studio strobes is where I was limited, once I put a brolly on them the optical trigger no longer picks up. The wireless will be nice.

Hopefully it turns into something good... if not we can go pillage it or something. :D

There is a house here that is a supposedly a barge in case of a flood... the Arc house! I'm not sure if it is rumor or not but it is barge like.

Durango is famous for weird rumors and the local paper used to run a series on them! Apparently some people thought the river was man made and that the boats ran on tracks... and that it ran in a circle around town like a moat! lmao I have had many tourists ask. Also elk are just deer that developed further due to altitude.... cool!


You Know You're From Durango When...
You don't have a job and live in a $600,000 home. Or you have 6 jobs and share a $10,000 trailer with 3 other people you barely know.

You paid more for your mountain bike than you did for your car.

You wash your mountain bike more than you wash your hair.

You begin all attempts to give directions with "At Elmore's Store�"

You accelerate at the sight of pedestrians in a crosswalk.

You can mange outrage over a $4.00 parking ticket because you have a God given right to a parking space right in front of your work place.

You're both a waiter and a Realtor.

The first sign of Spring is a train whistle.

Your vehicle has one of the following racks on it: ski, kayak, bike, gun or elk.

Sixth Street is still Sixth Street, 550 is still the 'new' highway, and you still ski 666.

You ride your bike in the snow.

You can get away with calling your college professor "Dr. Butthead".

You drive your car 4 blocks to work and on your lunch break you jog 6 miles.

Half your wardrobe is either lycra or flannel. (The other half in both cases is denim.)

Fleece is a way of life and not just a wardrobe choice.

Men have more hair on their chins than on their heads.

Women have more hair on their legs and under their arms then on their heads.

You're not self-conscious about wearing hiking boots with a dress.

Your idea of dressing up is putting on a clean pair of Levi's.

You're serenely accepting of a perpetually cracked windshield.

You didn't vote in the last city election.

You have one of Ralph Dinosaur's bras hanging from your lamp shade.

Yhe only middle-of-the-road views you have are while cycling.

You've stopped saying "That's not the way we did things back home".

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Durango.
 
Lol. Sounds kinda like South Lake Tahoe. Which reminds me, haven't been there in a while, might make a point to get up there this year. Love that place.

Dude, did you get my email I sent last night?

Lol, I guess I still have that address under your name in my contacts from several years ago before the new official one, sorry bout dat! I'll change the priority list in my contacts, didn't even realize which one I sent it too!

Got it, btw.

a frikkie arrived, sweeet! The clips are better than expected, shorter is good with thin clips! It works!

mmmm shiny
 
WooHoo! Ter-nader warnings here! Actually about 50 miles north with several confirmed cells already in action but no touchdowns yet.

Got my flash triggers and brollys today too. Haven't got to play with them yet, but got everything all set up and ready to go. Of course, my UPS guy shows up at 3:30 right as I'm headed out the door to go grocery shopping. Hopefully in the next few days I can try them out.
