The Coffee House

@gryphonslair99: Gary suspects the lack of suitable dog door space is due to sliding glass door(s). Under that assumption, they do make glass panels with built-in dog doors that just slip into the rails of the existing glass sliders. It takes about a minute to install.

Sorry Gary, but the assumption is wrong. The patio/deck doors are true French doors with French screens. I detest sliders and the old door was a patio door. You know, the single door with the big window. Hated it too. On beautiful spring and fall days we love to open the house and those French doors let lots of breeze in. Plus going in and out with a handful of meat destined for the smoker or the grill is so much easier this way.

Also we have to have an electronic dog door as the cat is an inside cat only and they take up too much room to put under a window.

I fixed the neighbors desktop and he gave me a D70s for payment. I wanted $65 for the repair and asked if I wanted it instead. Clean. 453 clicks, to my surprise. No nothing about it but it helps them out.

I feel less energetic than a ferret. Old movies on a rainy day.

Hang in there Ken, hope you get some of the rain. Had flooding here last night but it seems to storm/rain to beat the band then break up, so don't know if it will fizzle out before it gets to the east coast or if some will come your way.

Yep, went out to check the rain gage instead of just looking at it from the window. We had better than 6 inches of rain. Gage records up to 5 inches but the funnel on top was full to the top, so it was more like 6-7 inches of rain late yesterday afternoon and over night. The surrounding school districts closed due to flooding as well as several businesses. Roads were just impassable this morning in low and outlying areas. Might have a t-storm or two later this afternoon but no heavy rain predicted.

OK, peeps. There is still plenty of time so I want every one of you hosers to enter the first Sm4him Memorial Photo Challenge. There are a number of things I can think of that fit the "Volunteer" theme, but unfortunately, I can't enter so I'd really like all of you to put in something.

Gary vividly remember the older D70. After decades of shooting film Nikon and after using Nikon professionally under the most extreme conditions in the world, shooting from above the Arctic to Tropical Rainforests to windswept Deserts Nikon never failed Gary. In 2005, when Gary compared the D70 to the 20D, Gary choose the Canon as his first dSLR.

What was your reason, just curious?

I felt bad for him, his car broke down and I told him not to worry about it, just pay me whenever. He said he didn't feel right about it. Well, he sees me at all the grandkids games with my camera and wondered if I would want it. He bought it a long time ago and said he only used it a little in the beginning. He was right, 400 something clicks. He said he has a lens for it but doesn't know where it is but would look for it. It came with it but not sure what kit lens they shipped back then. Love the viewfinder. I don't really need it but what the heck, will see what it can do. Has a focus motor which is cool. Preliminary tests were good.
