I still prefer the Nikon AW100 over all the other small pocket digitals we've had here. The Nikon is starting to finally fall apart, though, so I've been slipping the Pentax into my pocket more and more.<br /><br />I would say that Twisted Sheets is about at it's lowest Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025068942489566045.post-19398242177155275832014-04-20T22:07:14.774-04:002014-04-20T22:07:14.774-04:00Interesting new post, actually pretty impressive m...Interesting new post, actually pretty impressive macro capabilities of that camera. maybe next time take a macro shot of Dooley's nose pores and hold a competition of a week stay in TCI if anyone can guess what it is ? oops.<br /><br />Yeah what is the status on the boat, how far is it would you say, 1/4 done, 1/2 done other?

Sounds much like boat Lil Provo, but we at least get her out on the water. We would love to see some sailing on her. After being laid up for 8 months since the accident with the Harley, I can't wait to get on the boat and set those sails. <br /><Jimhttp://ashworthdive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025068942489566045.post-28309240964264492572014-04-17T13:41:39.212-04:002014-04-17T13:41:39.212-04:00Lovely photos, sweet dog and I enjoyed the humour ...Lovely photos, sweet dog and I enjoyed the humour captions.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025068942489566045.post-78871120563732558702014-04-13T07:03:31.078-04:002014-04-13T07:03:31.078-04:00 can’t actully post a completed blog without an in... can’t actully post a completed blog without an internet connection..
