Howdy Don,
thanks old buddy encouraging news. I hate fiddling I just like the lights to
come on and I get right 'er shooting away. So from your comment I may have a
few M6's to sell off. We'll see.;-)

However, the plan is to make sure I'm creating income with the new one
quickly, so she who must be obeyed, the feared one when buying new equipment
, ;-) will think things are peachy keen and the new camera will sort of be
announced after the fact! ;-) hell you don't think I'd tell her before hand
do you? :-)

The secret is to know when it's arriving, have her out doing the mall thing
when it does, out of the box and into the bag, wrapping off to re-cycle and
a week later or so it will just sort of appear unannounced.

Like the hour or before I leave on a shoot so that by the time I get back
she'll have cooled off. :-) That's the plan, don't tell her, I might not
make it to the 53 wedding anniversary! ;-)
