Congratulations on the new Nikon, Tom. I just picked up a new D5100 here in Japan. This is my first real camera, and I'm trying to learn to use it. So far, I'm having mixed results, but here are a few I like so far...

Thanks for sharing, Bill.
And congrats to your Nikon. All of this cameras will work very well.
BTW:
Monday we start our trip to California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada...if anybody ist interested...most of the reports I'll post at my facebook-site:

You wrote nothing about that, what grind am I getting? ... Wish I was with you, we could rent a couple of big ass Harleys (or Victory bikes) and go cross country and then roll up at Max house and shot the craps about razors and stuff and smoke cigars all night. Sweet thought, indeed

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: RV w Shavemac D01 two band
Razor: C V Heljestrand, B K 42
Cream: Castle Forbes, Lime

What a shave! Even though Mr Nick came by, while I was shaving I also where thinking about how easy this blade moves and while relaxing I forgot how sharp it is. I got a really nice shave anyway and brush's new with a really nice and dense two band Shavemac knot.


... and I made a double cappu this morning (a little tired), so two of these babies:

One of the things I enjoy most in life is cars. I've been enjoying them since I'm about 10 years old. I have two that I enjoy tremendously right now.

The SWMBO favorite car.

1955 Chevrolet, 265V8, Automatic. This was the first year Chevrolet offered a 265CI V8. The car was built in February 1955 and sold at Don Allen Chevrolet in Manhattan, NY. I purchased the car from the original owner in 2006. It is all original except that I had the engine rebuilt whne it hit 96,265 miles. I have the original purchase order, cancelled checks from the owner and a bunch of other materials including the Jan 1955 article on the "new" Chevrolet 265 CI engine.




This one is a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. It was purchased from Chevrolet and delivered via the Museum Delivery. My daughter and I flew to Memphis Tenn, then drove to Bowling Green to pick up the car. After a private tour of the Corvette factory. We went across the street to the museum where they delivered the car to me. We then spent 4 days driving home through the mountains of Tennessee, North Carolina and Virgina.
