Cool Burnt Orange!!

As BC Lions fan that works quite well!! Hmmm have to look further into this to see if it will work in the parks as well...

DrHug's is basic black.

lol....will match my Sunburst Orange Dodge Caliber

nancy did not want to get a red car, but once she saw the colour...she liked it...then 5 months later she got herself a red Magnum....go figure

Lions eh? Always liked their uniforms...but have always been a Rider fan...that is when we have had a team here in Ottawa

I was ready to wince at the price...but only $79...less than what I paid for my dedicated camera bag

will have to check that out and see if i can eliminate one of my awkward bags

It is almost double that price over here!!

Another update to everyone on my DD's "loose tooth" and the scooter board incident.

Things seem to be healing quite well and we can already notice a positive move with the tooth. So things are looking good.

My DD did get her report card and there was one thing that both my wife and I laughed out loud about when we read it.

The report card for Grade One is done using the 1-4 Progress Levels scale with 4=Exceeds Expectations, 3=Meets Expectations, 2=Minimally meets Expectations and 1=Not Yet Meeting Expectations.

Under Physical Education there is one part that reads:
"Demonstrates appropriate skills when working with the scooter boards and skipping ropes" She was given a 4!!! LOL!!

At least she got a good grade for her efforts! Poor thing I hope her tooth heals all the way and she can move on to the rest of the crazy P.E. activities.

$59.95 not bad! Baby when you see this "can have one ......please"

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Darn it only fits a 105mm lens. I have a 250mm on my camera so that won't work. Back to the drawing board. (Or as my wife would say "Use what I've got" LOL)

Bruce, as for the Ottawa team - you'll get another one soon I bet! I've been a Lions fan since I was born. My Dad tells stories of bringing me home form the Hospital and setting me in front of the TV to watch a Lions game. My Dad has actually become friends with Wally Buono and Bobby Ackles in the last few years, so that has been interesting.

So which side were you, North or South? LOL

 

[1Grumpy John]

It is almost double that price over here!!

you know that any of us would be glad to carry one on for you (IE order it and hand deliver)

 

[1Grumpy John]

well folks I have to go earn the paycheck so I will talk to every one later thanks again Angie

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

I believe that DEB has already done the on line check in for us. some weeks back. may be that DCL is just having another "bad day" on the web site. Can anyone say "FISHES"

Looks like you are right on that one. I can now get in and select my country but where it asks for type of ID it only says "Select one" but again there is nothing in the drop box. Because the new rules state you need a passport only has this feature been disabled? Do I just enter my passport # and leave the "Select one" for the type of ID as is? Anyone know?

 

[Making_Memories]

YOU OFFERED ME THE COUCH!!!

Well you better scoot over then and make room!

 

[hawkaye19]

Ken,

You are good!!!

Could not bring myself to go see a Renegades game, so it has been a few years since I have had the pleasure of yelling that wonderful expression. My cousin-n-law was an east coast scout for the Riders (I grew up in Halifax). He recruited Wayne Smith....circa 1971...

hmmm, I've got one of those 70-210 compact zooms...should see if it will fit either into one of the pockets....I'll have to force myself to head up to Henry's and browse

Too bad amazon will only deliver it to the US...and with our Dollar being soooo good right now

At least she got a good grade for her efforts! Poor thing I hope her tooth heals all the way and she can move on to the rest of the crazy P.E. activities.

The really good news is that we are 51 days out from when we leave on vacation. So she doesn't really have that many PE days left at all!

A note from the teacher yesterday says the scooter boards have been "retired" for the remainder of the year.

Ken - it says up to 105mm lens ATTACHED. (sorry Shannon )

Just let one of us know.....

 

[chip&dale&fun]

I need to get our well water tested today and then paint the laundry room. The folks that are interested in our house want to look again at 10:30 tomorrow morning, then will let us know by 3:30 if they are going to accept our counter offer. We are a little excited, a little nervous. The offer requires closing by April 14 and us to be out by the 19th. Lots of work to do that in a short time. But, if it is God's plan then we can get it done!

Best of luck on all counts....

We did meet a DISer who not only lived in our neighborhood 20 some years ago, but was very good friends with the older sister of our DD's high school sweetheart. He is one of our DIS friends that we have stayed connected with. We may know some mutual people with your cousin as well. It is a Small Disney World.

MY DH grew up off of Ball Rd and Katella. No kinding about the Small Disney World!

 

[CruzDirectorKaren]

Hopefully each family that is participating will have some kind of FE out for the gifts to be placed in. That would make it easier to not miss anyone.

We didn't put anything out so I think that was the international sign for please leave only one gift. I think if there are names on the FE then you leave the correct numbers of gift.

 

[chip&dale&fun]

not much planned this weekend...the girls cousin is turning 3 and having a party up at my mom's house. I think we are obligated to go although i don't really want to. Then next weekend is easter??!!

You can come help me paint.....

A friend of mine actually had Russ Jackson as a teacher. I am hoping Ottawa gets a new franchise as I really want to see a game there. I have watched football in all of the Western (including Winnipeg) stadiums so far and after last year I can now add Skydome to the list, but it is my only Eastern stadium so far.

hmmm, I've got one of those 70-210 compact zooms...should see if it will fit either into one of the pockets....I'll have to force myself to head up to Henry's and browse

My 250 is my everyday lens so it is attached. Your 70-210 should fit as the compartments around the camera itself are adjustable. Especially, if it is a compact. But I'm not familiar at all with the lens just what I could find online. With Lowepro you can always get a lens case and possibly attach it or put inside the main part of the bag as well.

Good luck!

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Ken - it says up to 105mm lens ATTACHED. (sorry Shannon )

Yes, but my 250mm is attached as it is the ONLY lens I have right now. I might be getting a 50mm lens but that is up in the air right now. I really don't want to be trying to put the lens on and off everytime I want to take it out and put it away. I'm kinda lazy that way. That's the main reason why I went with the 18-250mm lens - shear laziness!
