The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

If I had to choose it would be the Kings, due to a longer history. I have a hockey stick used and autographed by The Great One.

Jump Around! Jump Around! OK, now done for the night.
(We do this one at local college games during a late 3rd period stoppage but never get thru much of the song - you can't make out any of the lyrics over the speaker which is probably just as well.)

Jump Around! Jump Around!

That's a great WAKE THE F UP song.

Got our first scrimmage game tonight. The team is looking pretty spunky even if a little undisciplined at this point. Not sure if I mentioned already that our #2 pick dislocated her knee cap playing basketball and is out for half the season! Poor kid was on crutches last year for the other knee. My only regret about coaching this season is that I won't have any good pics of my daughter and her friends playing since I'll be on the field the whole time! I may have to let my sister-in-law take over at one of the practices so I can at least get some candids of the team. Maybe I'll bring my camera to a few games and try to sneak in a pic or 2 from the dugout while they're in the field. My daughter will be thrilled that I'm not "lurking" on the sidelines with my 70-300 "looking like a stalker" and being all "annoying".

I bet she'd love the look of that Tameon 150-600mm then. Time to up your game

Gary's daughter's swam in high school. He used the Bigma for their matches. Hard to stalk with a Bigma ... so take Jon's advice and up your game.

Soccer starts tonight for me. Smaller field, so the 55-200 is the choice for me. Games tonight, and tomorrow. Gonna bring my Nikon F with the 80-200 as well. . Got my replacement FM yesterday.

How does the replacement look? You need one of these:

Love the bottom photo. That is how one of my F2's is set up.

Gary had one. KEH has 'em, ranging from $6 (as is) to $39 (EX+).

Under my right elbow is a FM with the MD12 motordrive. The shiney square on the motordrive is duct tape to keep the battery door in place.

With the 250 frame back ... you are The Man!

Gary is holding a F2 (above).

 

[Gary A.]

Motordrives are great. They remove the need for an opposing thumb.

Is the FM loud?

That is subjective. But it makes a lot more noise than hand cranking. In a quiet church, you'd want to hand crank.
