something at the post office

[back alley]

but i have to wait till 5pm (my time) to pick it up!

it's either the 50/1.2 or the m3.

and i owe 24 bucks to customs for it!

i'm all tingly.

At least you don't have 2 feet of fresh snow to clear out before you can get out of the driveway.

 

[Frank Granovski]

Joe, I don't know how you can make it at work. Should'a phoned in sick. 😎

 

[taffer]

I bet it's the new ZI 😎

If it's the 50/1.2, I'd be interested in knowing how are they calculating the taxes and fees, as as I told you I no longer can ship items with declared value to Canada 🙄

Maybe they check a Mc Keowns guide ? 🙂

This is why Winnipegers all drive pick-up trucks. Even the girls. 😎

i'll let you know what's up if it's the lens oscar.

Good ! Ill be up to late working, will check.

 

[back alley]

ok, now i'm pissed off!
i just ran out to do an errand and before i left i checked the mail box (just part of my neurosis) and there was another notice in there.
the bastard poste never even rang the bell. just dropped off the friggin' notice.

so i'm guessing that i have an m3 AND a 50/1.2 waiting for me.

i will be really pissed off if it's not available till tomorrow.

What, you already have the M3 and the 1.2 and not even my M2 is here yet. This ain't fair ! 😀

Dear God, at least I hope you'll reward my patience with a cute GER.

If you're short on GERs by now, a CV 15, 21 or 25, or a 40/1.4 SC will do 😉

What's your 5pm here ? 1 am maybe ?

Man, I'm biting my nails.

 

[back alley]

it is 4pm now.

frank, i called from the postal station to complain!
i was mailing out some stuff.

damn the post office!!!

the 50/1.2 and the meter were at the post office.
no customs charge oscar!

but the second parcel was not there. no where in site, must still be on the truck.
it will likely be there tomorrow after 1 p.m.
it must be the m3.

patience grasshopper...

"patience grasshopper..."

I hope you realize you're killin' all of us. These blow-by-blow cliff-hanger posts are causin' me to loose sleep. Guess I'll drag out my current project and calm my nerves working with needle-size screws and hair-size springs.

😕​

 

[back alley]

i'm goin into a dark room and taking some snaps myself...😉

Hey I drive a truck too. But still have to clear the snow. Oh BTW it's still snowing here about 2 1/2 feet now.

 

[flashover]

No I was there already today. But I didn't buy anything because Frank said I would eventualy realise I don't need all those cameras. So I left the the black Nikon there in the display case as they wanted 79.99 for it and there was no lense with it.

 

[FrankS]

Probably an EM, right?

I'm finally at a point where I can walk away from most used cameras that before I would unthinkingly buy, simply because it was a good deal.

 

[Stephanie Brim]

I can do that too, Frank...but that's really only because I'm broke right now and if I buy anything more than fixer/developer/film in the next month or so I'm going to be in trouble. 😀

 

[flashover]

I though you would be around somewhere Frank so I just had to see If I could get a response. I don't buy them all just the stuff that intrests me, I hate Kodaks and 110 . Although I did put a bid on a SP1000 with a 50 1.4 and a 135 at the sally ann.

 

[taffer]

Cool ! 😀

Haven't seen many more posts from you after this, I guess you went exploring available darkness at f/1.2 eh ? 😉
