D200 Arrives

Well, I can see that keeping a blog up to date requires a certain amount of self-discipline that I may be lacking. Anyhow, the big news today is that I received my long sought after Nikon D200 digital SLR camera yesterday. It is quite a machine and will require considerable practice and study to realize it's full potential. There are no post-worthy images from it yet, I'm still working out the kinks so to speak.

In other news, I got accepted into the mighty Tribulation Force Call of Duty gaming clan. These are good people that I have played with often over the last year. I will try not to embarrass them (or myself). Call of Duty 2 is enough different from CoD1 that it is tricky switching back and forth, but I love a challenge.

It looks likely that we will be going on another spring canoeing trip to the Buffalo River this year. We go earlier every year in hopes of higher water levels, this time it looks like mid-April. I am a little concerned by the possibility of cooler weather & water, but would love to experience the river during higher water levels. Cross your fingers. I'm 99.9% sure I will NOT be risking the D200 on the river. (It'll go on the trip though.)

It is beginning to become clear that this blogs value is as a journal type of deal for my own use, rather than as a source of wit and wisdom for the public. I don't think anyone else except my wife and nephew have ever seen it, and that was only for a couple of specific posts. I suspect this is pretty common. :) Anyhow, that's OK.
