    Hope the camera works out!

    Still busy, the new guys are catching on so the work load is a little bit more evenly distributed. Will be crazy until fall I'm sure.

    stop that

    Slowly... spent two 1/2 hours tonight digging. Un-stuck a sprinkler from the tree roots and just have the dirt directly under the stump to remove. Hopefully will get that done tomorrow, and on to number three. Some of the roots are growing wierd directions o_O

    How's Weesa tonight?

    I can't decide if she was more excited about the .22 or the camera! haha She is a bit intimidated by the camera and the vast number of buttons on it. haha

    Are you cutting the roots from the stump as you go or are you trying to get as much of them out as possible also? The last stump I pulled I dug around it and exposed all the roots and then used an axe to cut them all and wrapped a chain around it and ripped it out with the Taco. It was a lot lighter then though. I used an extra strap so I had all 4 wheels on pavement and I was spinning all 4 before it finally popped out. Just needed to heat them up a little I guess:burnrubber:

    Time for some Taco intervention in the removal process...

    Weesa was having a bad allergy night. Its been so rainy that no one's been able to mow their lawns for weeks and the last couple of days EVERYONE in town has been mowing. Plus its been super windy so the combination of the mold (from the rain), pollens and dust (from the mowing) and the wind keeping everything airborne was killing me. Took a double dose of Benedryl and crashed into bed. Blech...hate allergy season. Hope these shots work....

    Morning OTG - pedal safe!

    :woot: Glad she liked them both! If she has any questions about the camera I'd be happy to help, just let me know.

    With time we might have some questions. For now I have a 400 page book sitting on my desk, plus the 100 page user manual... haha Might take me a while to get through them.

    Ok @MTgirl questions! :threadjacked:

    So these are the 2 lens that I got her.

    18-55mm that came with the camera
    http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-18-55mm-f%2F3.5-5.6G-VR-II.html

    55-200mm that I added on
    http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-55-200mm-f%2F4-5.6G-ED-VR-II.html

    For lens filters do you recommend just getting a couple of the Neutral color filters? Mostly just for protection.
    http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Lens-Filters/52mm-Screw-on-NC-Filter.html

    Also for the 55-200mm should I get a hood? I assume it will help with glare and such on those long range shots.
    http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Lens-Hoods/HB-37-Bayonet-Lens-Hood.html

    What about for the 18-55mm? I am guessing I can probably get away without one since it will be used for closer shots.
    http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Lens-Hoods/HB-69-Bayonet-Lens-Hood.html

    and then I was going to just get 1 of these rear lens caps, and just store the other lens on the camera, or is that a bad idea and I should get 2 rear caps and store the lenses off the camera? The body came with a body cap.
    http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Lens-Caps/LF-4-Rear-Lens-Cap.html

    Also do you do anything in particular to protect the LCD screen or eye piece? Nikon has an eye piece cap.
    http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Eyepieces/DK-5-Eyepiece-Cap.html

    Oh and a camera cleaning kit maybe?
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0048IW030/ref=pd_luc_rh_sim_03_03_t_ttl_lh?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Thanks in advance :D
