Happy Birthday britman

Geo: Happy Birthday. I'm sure you are like me and no candles. You/I don't want to have a fire call for open burning.......:eek:

I shoveled my dog **** over the fence into your driveway. Hope you like it!

....He told me you were a **** shoveler from a way back................

Don't forget your camera in ES. We need more photos of Flipper. :eek:

I went and bought myself a wicked digital today. I was waiting for Nick (one of the techs at school) to get back from his Alaska trip (this guy is a serious tourer...15,875 miles in 6 weeks) and give me a first hand report on his digital camera. He went with me to the camera shop and I forked over 350 bucks and bought a Fuji Fine Pix S1000fd with a 2 gig SD card and a case. Has 12x optical zoom + 4x digital zoom and it shoots movies with sound. Now I can do in room movies of Captains doing and saying things that I/we can embarass them later with.

Charcoal sketches would do:D

Magic Marker.

I'm going to see if he will let me download some of his pictures. If he will, I'll post them on site. Alaska is beautiful. He burned through 1400 bucks worth of gas, went through 3 back tires and 2 fronts, 2 sets of brake pads and who knows how many beers. No, he don't have a Rocket. I don't think a Rocket would do very well on the Trans-Alaska Highway. Lots of it isn't paved. He said he saw 2 potato bikes that didn't make it all the way north...turned around and went back south. He said they were going about 10 mph. He has a Beemer 1200 GS. You can't do Alaska on anything but an adventure tourer. Street bikes don't cut it.

Interestingly, he shot 3 sets of movies (with sound), and over 1000 still pictures on one set of Lithium batteries, the originals and they are still in the camera.
 
Thanks for the wishes

You know I don't feel a day over 59. Come to think of it, I am a day over 59 this morning and feel every **** minute of it. They tell me everything gets better at 60 or maybe you just don't remember where it hurts the most. BTW, nice touch from the website, an email Happy Birthday wish.
