[Leica] WAS: High-ISO performance Rant - NOW SNOW ON DRIVEWAY? :-)

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey@mchsi.com)]

Ted my friend,


Well, I understand the problem you are having with your Passport, our 
government is also extreemely in-efficient also when it comes to getting 
required paperwork completed.?


I did finally get up the ambition today to go out and shovel off the 
driveway and the pad in front of our garage. ?It only took 3 hours, but it 
is now clean. ?;-) ?Unfortunately we are expecting a sleet and snow storm 
tonight, so it will not be clean for long. ?;-( ?Since I am not really into 
manual labor of this type in very cold temperatures, I guess I will be 
forced to get out the John Deere and attach either the shovel or snow blower 
for the next time, when I get the itch to go out into the cold.


Cheers,
