Just so you know the hardships I'm enduring. I'll update as I go along.




One incident so far, no one was hurt but it's gonna require sending a camera and lense to Canon. Got the shot though! need to process it and make it forum friendly.

All this and then home to rock the 7 string? Dang. Life is good sometimes, no?

No it gets worse. This is where I had to eat lunch yesterday.


Pardon the bad stitch in the last little bit of the right side.

This guy was having lunch too...


Took off INTO my lense, scared the crap out of me, and I fell. Cracked my 17-40L at the mounting plate, and my camera does not autofocus anymore. Canon is going to be happy about that one. Thankfully we have the wife's Rebel as well.

To soothe my bruised pride we went for food and beer:


and some chocolate:


The wife took some gear porn shots while I was browsing:




Souvenirs for friends:

Because when you combine ninja's and beer, good things happen.

Tomorrow is the Moog tour, Blackout Effectors, a revisit to Sherwood's to see if my bargaining skills have improved, there's a small 5w amp I'm off to negotiate for. They have another non-modded one as well. We will see.

Take some nice photos at the Moog place :) I don't think they do modulars any more though?

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, I really sympathize.

Love it when people get what they deserve (camera damage not so much)

It's the equivalent of a broken headstock. It sucks. It happens. It's usually fixable with 1 series and L lenses. I've gotten 10 years out of that camera, and even more out of that lense. If it can't be fixed affordably or is infact camera/lense death, it's an excuse reason to get the 5DmkIII and/or the 24-105L since we have a Rebel and another 17-40L anyways.

Alan,

Everything old, is new again.

Now don't quote me on this, but we're getting ready to re-enter the modular market via the euro-rack 5u standard.

This is all Jimilee's fault.

And maybe a little bit of Sonarchotic's. But still,  I'm gonna go ahead and lay the entire blame on Jimi. It's easier. And in the lower right hand corner is the manliest pink guitar pick you could ever hope to hold. I was encouraged by my wife to go back today and and acquire it if I felt it necessary.

This particular guy isn't for a modular synth, though - that's their 500-series delay unit.

I've wanted one of those for a while now, congrats. Jkokura's white one for sale is nice for anyone in the market. Glad you're having a good time. Where was the hiking pic from?

Quoting the guy who asked not to be quoted made me laugh  ;D

Given that Eurorack is 3U (old, classic Moog is 5U high), I think I'll wait to see their press release, no offence :)

Their Keith Emerson reissue got a lot of attention!
