Went ou t to strawberry picking. It was a success.

^ 400/2.8?

And Dinny, while you are at it, pick up yourself a D700 or D800. Btw, anyone looking for a 105dc?

I handled a Canon 70-200/2.8 II couple of years back and one thing I remember is that it was rather heavy - and Nikon one weighs about the same (~3.3 pounds or so), which is to say it weight 2 pounds more than a 18-200. Methinks you should get yourself down to B&H and try it out. I personally wouldn't want to handle that much weight, but I've got tendinosis. Also, from what I read, Nikon 70-200 VR2 is actually bit shorter than 200mm and gets shorter as you focus closer. As for Tokina, aren't they going out with an updated version of 11-16 soon?

Happy Birthday!

I will have to remember this for the next time. Hopefully, the next time won't for a while.

Replaced the faucet in the bathroom sink. It was a lot easier than I expected, but still annoying since the space was pretty darn tight.

Option-clicking on volume icon should do what you're looking to do as well.

Probably a CT scan since there's a sign for "CT PROCEDURE" on the wall to the left.

Yes.

Damn, you're absolutely correct, I REALLY want that one.

Happy Birthday!

I don't know why, but now I want one.

Argh. I hope you are getting paid extra for this.

Cooked vegetable risotto for dinner. I love asparagus season.

Came home to find my daughter all scratched up on side of her head/face from a fall she had while running. I know it looks a lot worse than it actually is, but still breaks my heart to see her all scratched up.

Dinny, keep in mind adding the grip to d7000 will add ~$100 assuming you get a genuine used grip.

I really like RS-Sport 2. The integrated underarm strap helps keep the camera/strap from rotating to front of your body when you need to bend forward and can't hold onto the camera for one reason or another, like picking up a toddler.

This. One of these days, though I suspect by the time I'm ready for one, there won't be any left.
