Most of the electronics he got through donations, including the canvas topper, claiming he will be a river rescue type boat. He scored. The boat had been swamped in Cook Inlet and he picked it up for a couple grand. Put a new outboard on it and wham...just like new.
I would think that turning on those puppies in the fog would blind you so badly you would need a stick to feel your way back home...

Sounds like a pretty tricked fishing boat, or more like a great party boat that you can fish out of....

Rance...looks like a downright perfect day, but maybe fish on the fire instead of dogs? maybe too much work for a good day!

Stunning Neph! Like the sun over on the side!

I didn't know I had the bird, and it's reflection, in the photo until I grabbed it off the memory card.

What a great day to fly, except for all the turbulence

I don't know if you have DxO. They sent me an email this morning saying they have some new modules for 5DII (alas, not enough yet to cover most of my lenses). My two puppies arrived yesterday. Unfortunately the dioptric adjustment lenses for the viewfinder are still on backorder and are expected in a few days. I did get the Eg-D focusing screens at the local Palo Alto store though.
