OK . . . now on a more serious note . . . I have a question to ask.

I will be giving a photography class or two (yes, in a previous life I was a photojournalist/newspaper photographer) . . .

My question is this . . . What kind of camera do you have?

Not so much brand specific, but is it a point and shoot camera or a DSLR (interchangable lens camera)?

In otherwords . . . this . . . or this?

Because I can teach both . . . but they are different from each other so we may need to have a class for each type of camera!

Let me know so I can work up a class for both types of cameras!

OK . . . now back to me wearing or not wearing skivvies . . .

Also, Wilson and I will be selling 50/50 tickets starting day 1. the more tickets you purchase the better your chances of winning.

We will not know for sure if these tickets will be available for a few days.

Any help in this area is appreciated by all.

 

[Doublegranch]

We will be moving a couple of sites around due to a couple of cancellations.
We want to make sure only Heartland Members are within our block. I will
attempt to move a couple on the peripheral edge of our block into the center
where we have the cancelled sites. I am meeting with the park on Friday and
will post the site changes.

Cash . . . What is that?????

One week from tomorrow and we hit the road!

Cain't wait to see y'all!

I never did buy my boots . . . don't dock me for that!

Us Colorado Cowboy's are 'diff'rent'!

We wear hiking boots instead . . .

 

[Doublegranch]

John:
Did you forget, I grew up in Colo! Cowboy boots were given to you at birth!!!
No issues as it would be a waste cutting them off your feet on the way to the ER after the Rodeo event....

Did the final walk through today at the resort and they are ready for us. Looks like we will have the Outdoor covered patio & glassed in walls for our use
for the pot luck as it has more room. We can then leave the Grand Canyon room set up for our weekly events.

Safe Travel and can't wait to see you and Cathy!
