Got my stitches out but have to wait one more week before going in a pool or taking a bath. No longer have to wear the hip brace I was wearing! Also got the ok to start weaning off the crutches. Rode the stationary bike for 2 miles using *both* legs (although still on resistance 1). Kinda sad that the muscles in my right=surgery leg are actually a little sore from that. Also sad that I only burned 36 calories.

I like my LX5 - just wish it were smaller.

Happy Birthday Gene!!!

Happy Birthday Haj!

Good choice.

Dinny: I would go for the LX5 over the G12. But if I were you, I would just get the S95. The LX5 is very nice and I like being able to use a bounce flash on mine (although the flash is just as large as the camera). But the LX5 is not pocketable like the S95 (it is more like a jacket pocket than pants pocket kind of camera). Also, I think S95 does better in low light than the LX5. I was hoping the S95 would go little cheaper than $289 (which is what it has been for the last week or so until it went up to $291) for BF/CM but I still may buy one at this price.

^ Marc: That's a lot of Fernet Branca!

Got my Blackrapid Sport-2 camera strap today. It is awesome - wish I could walk so I could take some pictures. The only thing that is annoying is not being able to use the RRS L-plate and tripod with having to unscrew the FastenR-3 every time. I guess there is the RRS quick release clamp option but that doesn't seem very secure. Anyone use the strap with the a quick release clamp? Edit: Just saw the Blackrapid FR-T1 fastener for tripods. Has anyone tried this? http://www.blackrapi...hardware/fr-t1/ Edit #2: NM, seems like the FR-T1 won't work. Colin - you need this strap, a macro, and a tripod. Get on it.

Welcome home Lloyd! It must be nice to be out of the hospital.

What Nate said x3

^This!

They look great! Good luck with the sales.

Happy Birthday Bryan!!!

That really sucks. Good luck getting your money back.

I'm in.

Manhattans make you manly.

Excellent Grahame.

That sounds awesome Mike.

Amarra sale until Dec 31 (not sure how long this has been going on). I may try out the Mini.

^Approved!

Sorry about your mother-in-law Mike.

I had these for about a year and had no problems, then sold then to a friend who has had no trouble with them. I really liked them when I had them so I bought a pair again to carry around as a "backup" pair of IEMS when traveling (and to watch movies on the plane) to replace the ER6i I have been using (hubby "took" my ER4P since he finds them easier to use than the custom Westone ES5 I won for him at Canjam).

Glad I bought my RRS L-plate second hand.

Shouldn't this be in the bacon thread? NM, I see that it is there.

Nice wine for $20.
