My best friend Barry (aka George) came down on Sunday for a few days of gaming and scotch drinking. We enjoyed ourselves as we always do, despite some connectivity issues with our most recent game purchase, Red Alert 3 (you would think gaming companies would test this stuff a little more thoroughly).
Additionally, I asked Barry to bring down some products from their bakery and Shnewt was trusting enough to lend me his sweet Canon EOS 5D DSLR camera. Wow… What a great camera. It’s got more features than you can imagine, takes fantastic shots and, best of all, my old Canon 100mm macro lens bolts right in and works great. I just hope it is waterproof ‘cuz I’m constantly drooling all over it.
Now I just have to find a way to keep it a little longer… like for eternity.
Some bread photos:
And a shot of the cat…

I think the solution you’re looking for is called “money.” Money can be exchanged for goods and services.

What you forgot to mention was that Barry left all the “product materials” behind. We now have a fridge and freezer filled with very yummy and calorie filled food that we just have to eat…. before it goes bad.
dude, nice shots! they look great.
I may need the camera back for Saturday evening. We’re going to a Robbie Burns haggas dinner and Rachel wants it photographed… not sure why though.

Oh man, it sounds like a good time, baked goods, liquor, and video games. What more is there really? I have camera envy going too – it might be time to pick up a new one…

…and Burns Night might be an excuse for a tad more whiskey. The ‘old’ 5D is indeed good. I use one with Olympus OM Zuiko lenses sometimes; they bolt on with an adapter are great lenses but rather inexpensive on eBay

Sounds like a good time was had by all…..BEAUTIFUL BREADS! YUMMMMMMMMY!

Great to see you and Barry for lunch — Thanks for coming down to meet me! Always fun talking geek with you two.
Next time, we should do dinner with Shnewt/Rachel, and T, too, of course.

@rashbre – Yeah, too bad I have to give it back at some point.
@OldOldLady – Yes, the baked good were most yummy. More coming on Sunday!
Roger – thanks for visiting me. You’re right, that tornado track was too close for comfort. I am now in the southeast, so I hope to NEVER experience one of those again!
Now then…
first off…what kind of scotch???
next…LOVE the bread, it looks positively YUMMY!
I love my Canon XT…need to get some good lenses for it now.
The kitty is gorgeous!
Linda’s last blog post..MUST WATCH!!!
@Netchick -It was good seeing you too. Maybe late next week we can get together?
@Linda – Oh, there were a few… from a cheap Johnny Walker Black Label to an 18-year old Glen Fiddich. Thanks for visiting!
Ooh, I can see why you’d like to keep that camera for a bit longer. Beautiful shots.
Thanks for visiting, cheers!
