What kind of camera do you have mhardy? I just bought a Nikon D70S from a co worker. There are so many menu options on this thing, any suggestions on where I can do some reading and learning on what does what and when to use what?afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Courtesy of my son, I have a D5000 body and also his old D40. Both entry-level DX format DSLRs. The D5000 is the better of the two but it's handy to have two lenses mounted and ready to go all the time. The D40 lives near the back windows with a 70 - 300 mm VR lens for grabbing shots o' critters when they amble through the back forty.

My new fixed gear build for riding around town. Built this up from a bare frame I got in an audio trade. Weighs just a little over 20lbs.

The bovine & equine BoBs were in the next two photos :-P

The Goat is indeed nice, every boys dream to have one.....during my times anyway.
My first car -- high school graduation present from my two very generous parents -- was a 1964 GTO -- fire engine red, Hurst four-speed, 4.11 rear end, electronic ignition, reverberator, tri-power.
Yes, every boy's dream at that time. I wish I had a picture of it.
Here's one from the Internet:
I loved the look of those Tiger Paw tires, but they tended to throw their treads after continuous running at 100+ mph!
