Nice. Good to see you getting out.

I have a DSC-P72 (4.1 MP) and it's still going strong.
The movies are surprisingly good too.

I get new camera lust every now and then but I think I'm going to wait
for now.

Hmmm, camera lust. Nikon pays the bills but my pinups would be a nice Epson
R-D1s for travel and Hasselblad H2D39 when you want to work the upper body
lol! BTW, that's a cool sticker : )

Yeah, I love the photos from the bigger cameras, but I've got one (older
Pentax ME Super 35mm) that I never use because I like the convenience of
the smaller point-n-shoot varieties.
So for the time being I'm going to stick with the smaller ones. I also
don't worry about it as much when I'm bringing a $250 device into the
elements as I would if it were a $2500 (or way more) gadget.

Canon D20 here and it will never see the light of a trail while I am on
my bike. I crash too much.

I've crashed twice so far on my Rebel XT. One of these days I'll get a 30D
and won't worry so much about the Rebel.

I've crashed so many times with my gear, all it does is leave large dents in
my body and keeps on shooting. I'm a sucker for extreme III flash cards
though...being "EXTREME" and all lol! My problem is I leave remote flash
heads and radio triggers in the bush. Anyone riding Gillard that finds a
pocket wizzard you know who to call for the reward : )

Nice to see one of the old rides again. I miss pushing the bike up the
escalator at Penn Station and bombing through midtown traffic after a
good ride with you guys out on The Gisland, truth be told.

Believe it or not, I haven't been on dirt since the SSWC last August.

Wow! Glad to see you popped in here at least.
I remember those rides fondly.
Carla and I still talk about that ride at RP where you drank your
camelbak dry 5 miles into a 20 mile ride. If I recall it was Africa hot
that day!
Stewart Airport was a gas as well!
I hope you get some time for some dirt my friend.

I certainly miss those rides with you and Mrs.J. Fond memories indeed. LOL,
drinking Buds in Stillwell in the middle of a ride!

Ahh, those were the days...

I hope you get out there soon! Don't let the world get in your way!
