    My hubby spoils me

    He is always at looking at what he can buy me next!

    On Friday hubby asks me if I would like a bag for my camera gear
    because he was watching me trying to re-arrange my gear between 3 or 4
    bags.
    So, on the spur of the moment, we set off for the camera store 30
    minutes away.
    I was looking at 2 Lowerpro bags, (I love bag packs and hate carrying
    things in my hand).
    The manager of the shop knows me, so I call him over. He knows what
    gear I have, so he tells me, pointing to the mini trekker for £109,
    "For your gear, you will need this one. Your gear won't fit in the
    other one. Plus it's small enough for carry-on on planes." I LOVE the
    sound of that. If I ever go on a plane I am NOT parting with my camera
    gear!
    Hubby doesn't batt an eyelid and walks to the counter with it, along
    with a monopod!


    It's just a quick snap but it shows how much I have in there. I've
    written on the spaces what I had to take out of the bag to take the
    shot.



    On Saturday a large box arrives at my door!
    Brand new computer components all for me!


    Here are the specs:

    *ASUS 8800GTS 512MB
    *ASUS P5K Premium WiFi-AP iP35
    *OCZ 4GB DDR2 1000MHz/PC2-8000 Memory
    *Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz 12MB L2 Cache
    *ASUS Silent Knight II Processor cooler
    *Coolermaster eXtreme Power 650W PSU
    *Sony DRU-190S 20X DVD±RW DL & DVD-RAM Serial ATA x2

    He spent all morning gutting an old machine (complete with dust lol)
    that we had in the corner of the room

    and loading it with all the new parts.
    Then he removed my HD's and re-fitted them into my new machine!...


    What did I ever do to deserve this man?!
    I want to cry!

    Oh well. it was worth a shot I can't complain though. Carla went out yardsaling for camera gear the other weekend and brought home 2 boxes worth of stuff. Unfortunately nothing I could use but, out of trading and selling some of it, I've now got a "new" spotmeter, a Mamiya M645, and I was also able to stock up on chemicals and paper

    All the computer gear is way beyond me! But I know about the camera bag and you are a lucky lady. Congrats on the new stuff and having some one that is very sensitive to your wants and needs.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Every time I see a tricked out PC I think the same thing, All that great stuff, and it's all being wasted on Windows.

    Oh well.
