New England B.S. Thread

Oh yea lol. She's been out wheeling a few times and knows how working on trucks goes

 

She's a master photographer too haha

 

For sure! Haha she does really enjoy it. She wants to get a nice camera for it

 

Nikon d3300/3400 are awesome entry dslr's, I got mine with a kit lense and memory card for like 300 bucks a couple years ago

 

Nice! I'll have to see what they're going for now

 

This goes to me being old and knowing things from 10 years ago, BUT if you can find a D90 or D200 in good shape, should be cheap. Spend the money on glass instead of the body.

Flip a coin cannon or nikon, my buddy in bikes shot with Pentax, they were fine. Sony is fine but uses some sort of proprietary connector for something, can't remember what, but they call it the alpha system. Whatever it's for, it's proprietary. Probably only a "concern" for a larger scale operation.

Throw a dart and have at it. I'll see if I still have any of my old stuff (it would be Nikon) to hand off.

 

Agree, spend your money on the lenses not the body. The alpha system is for their lenses I believe, which will cut out a huge chunk of the available lenses you can use with a Sony (I believe, could be wrong)

 

Hey folks, be careful out there this afternoon:

Eloping, the only way to go! Congratulations to you and your wife!!

The Mrs. and I eloped over 20 years ago and planned a beach party for the following Spring. The Spring came around and decided to skip it

 

I was planning on riding that way here shortly... guess I'm gonna work northeast.... I dunno ....

This weather is really putting a.... kink in my attitude....

 

I know, not where you were going, but that's where my mind went so I figured I'd bring all you MF'rs along...

 

Thanks! Lol I would agree, but she would like the actual wedding so we are doing a private vow renewal and then having everyone at the reception

 

We had a very small, very short notice ceremony. Not quite eloping but very nearly hahaha, no regrets it was exactly what both of us wanted

 

Yea we didn't truly elope either. Our parents and only really close family was there. Did it in the backyard of her parents house. Then we all went out and had Mexican and margs lol

 

Immediate family and some really close friends, and then we basically had a BBQ for the reception hahaha

 

I truly eloped, married in Vegas. Couldn’t tell you what we had for dinner but alcohol was served

 

@AllTacosFloat @Brownmatthall The loft has been moved. No more 2" of headroom.

 

We did the Vegas thing in 2005..had planned a party at her parents' house that summer but didn't happen due to her mother's health failing. No regrets. Whole wedding cost us $1000, including a DVD of the ceremony, 300 pics on CD, buying (not renting) the tux and wedding dress, and buying the rings.

 

We are figuring either elope or have a tiny ceremony (with like 6 people in attendance). Then we have a big casual cookout with everyone we know. It'll probably be a couple years, though. We have lived together for four years but only been engaged for 2 months.

The worst invasive species I have found is Japanese knotweed. I have a ton of it near my river. Kicker is I am not supposed to get rid of it even though it's invasive because riverfronts are protected areas. I am not sure how successful I would be anyway. I have discovered that it's amazingly resilient. The frost killed it this year and a week later new pieces had come up bigger than ever.

Too bad I just gave away my Canon Rebel XS. Older 10 MP camera, but would have been a good one to learn on.

 

I have been fighting this bamboo since we got the place.
Invasive.

Everything says to eradicate it.

Conservation Commission keeps making my life difficult.

Biggest myth is that we OWN anything.

And don't play party or state favorites.

It is every state.
