Elias week 50 update.
Well unfortunately we didn’t catch it on camera, but Elias stood up on his own for a solid 10 seconds this week. We were all on the floor in the living room when he suddenly put both arms up over his head then stood up and just stood there! He’s been getting better and better…

New Gear: boda dry bag!
Sold 4 bags earlier this week so I could try a boda. I’ve been stalking these online for a while now but always felt they were priced a bit high, at least for me. But looking at the design, it’s well done, and finding them for 25% off (instant rebate) I couldn’t resist after my…

Bags 4 Sale
Yeah, I’ve got a lot of bags, and I’ve realized I don’t use a few of them often enough to keep them. I also have 2 bags in this group that are good small travel type bags, but I don’t love them and want to try a boda, so I’m selling 4 bags to clean…

Pico?
Pico? Yep, PICO!!! Elias went to his third state this weekend going for his longest car ride yet (~4:30) going up to Pico in VT. I was very excited when Andy and Debbie suggested it because I grew up skiing at Pico about 20~25 years ago, but hadn’t been back since. Well it’s alive and…

New Gear: Kata 3n1-30
Picked up the kata 3n1 the other day with the other gear. I’ve been looking for a sling forever, but one you could ALSO wear as a backpack. While the kata isn’t perfect (no bag will be until I make my own) it’s damn close. You can wear it as a sling EITHER WAY, a…

New Gear: GoPro Wide motorsport!
yeah, I know I know, why the hell do I need another camera right? But these things have been calling my name since I’d seen them in the back of NG adventurer a year or so ago… And they finally made a wide version (instead of the rumored wide angle adapter) so how could I…

New Gear: Sigma 20mm EX DG
Well as much as I don’t really want to like this lens, it’s actually proving to be quite the sharp, wide, fast bargain. It’s been on the camera since it came out of it’s box last night, and so far I’ve been very impressed with it. It’s got sigma’s typical black flake paint job on…

For Sale: Canon 70-200 f4 IS L
I’m selling my beloved 70-200 f4 IS. This lens is one of canon’s sharpest zooms ever made and it has the best IS they make. Yet I’m still selling it…. Why? Because I had it and the 300 as a great pair, but once I sold the 300 for the 100-400 it’s been a bit…

Show us your teeth!
Debbie taught Elias a new trick Friday… “Show us your teeth!” gets us a big toothy grin now and most of the time he does an obnoxious head tilt with it. It’s actually hysterical to watch. Once you ask him he keeps grinning at you showing you his teeth for a few minutes. This has…

For Sale: Canon 40D
Yep, selling my 40D. It was a great companion to my 5D as it added reach and FPS, but with a 5Dii now the reach aspect is gone and I haven’t been needed the FPS. For now it’s for sale, although I’ll be replacing it with a XSi for Nikki and eventually a 1D mark…

New Gear: 24" iMac!
Yep, switched to the darkside and I’m loving every minute of it. We finally bought a mac and it’s amazing.

EAJ 46 week update!
Well it’s really been winter this past week. It’s been cold, then frigid, then cold again, and now it’s “warm” (~25) and snowing. I don’t mind the snow in the least, but cold and windy can get old even for me. Nikki got a bit of cabin fever today when Elias only slept for 30…
