Any nice Santa gifts under the tree? I definately got a super cool gift.............my future wife to be gave me a......................... Canon 5d mark iii with 24-105 lens...........................I must have done something right this year...................
A custom primary access cover and nice highway pegs for the Harley and electic gloves. I'll be styling and warm when I ride this winter. Thank you Mrs. Claus.
Congratulations, you got a really nice camera! I bought mine last spring and have mostly used that lens as well. The Mark III is so much better than the Mark II, in fact it is a completely different camera. And myself, I am not accepting gifts anymore, but I bought myself a Yamaha CVP 509PE. Then I cut myself in a fingertip, so that was the fun for a couple of weeks...
Going to Switzerland on friday.............enough scenery to try it out................ I am so happy with it. Next investment will be the new macbook pro retina with lightroom 4........... Santa really got me going into photography. It also has great video recording.
Kevin, they are good cameras, but too big to have with you all the time. In my pocket I used to have a smaller Canon, the G9, which gave up, so I now have the new G15 which is the same size and gives you excellent pictures, even in low light.
Coast Guard Clock from 1941 Not sure of the history as it was bought a long time ago in Manila and supposedly came off a sunken U.S Coast Guard vessel in Philippine waters. Present for my boat from my brother. I am VERY superstitious about old clocks (not watches, it's a long story) so not sure whether it will go on the boat or stay in the house. All brass, has a screw on glass lens, in great shape, just pity it has been "over" restored, but great gift!
Santa brought me a new bird. NOT the white one on the right doing the chicken dance, but the little wannabe on the left; an Align 450 DFC. In the background is my Align 700E. I built it 2 years ago but never had a chance to fly it until two weeks ago when I set a side a block of time over the holidays to return to flying r/c helis after an 8 year lay-off. I know a few of you finally have confirmation... I'm really a bird brain.
Very cool! Last year my son and I got the little ones (like you see in the mall). Neither of us really got the knack of flying, I think my longest uninterrupted flight might be 8 seconds or so. Not claiming this was controlled flight...
Very Nice !!! I like the shot gun as well. how many can you shoot before the barrel melts ? I recieved a K-cup coffee maker that I had always thought were a waste of money but now I'm making coffee like a Star Bucs Barrista !!!!! Sounds like we were all pretty fortunate this year. I hope you all have an equally great 2013.
Ches, i thought the same thing about those single cup coffee makers. I now have two, one on boat and one at home, in the long run you save money because you only make what you drink and dont drink 5 cups of cofffee just becuase it is in the pot.... Although, I do miss my coffee maker that grinds and brews the coffee that you can set to grind and brew to have a fresh hot cup when you wake up.
I agree, and thanks to Santa, I now have 5 krups coffee makers. 2 at the ofice, one at home, one on boat, and one at beach house. At work, i use the reusable/refillable kcup and use all different types of coffee in it. Santa also brought me a summit racing 350 crate motor for my 944 8cyl track car converion, which i hope to make into a kit.
RT, Yep, # 2 alraedy nade it into the office and I know a 3rd will be purchased for the boat !! Travler, you are a tease, saying you got yourself an airplane and not posting a picture.
