Fook me. That doesn't seem right SacMike...about the ticket I mean.
My theory: the first guy just got p.o.'d about my not moving over right away, plus he got impatient and over-estimated the time he followed me. Most importantly, he was (in my theory) the second guy's supervisor, and TOLD him to ticket me. That guy didn't want to hear any reasons or excuses, period. I'm hoping the fact that the ticket giver was not the complaining party will help in my appeal, but I'm not leaving it up to logic. Thus the lawyer. What a PITA. :angry2:

 
Got a few more photo's here click here for your perusal.Hope the link works.

OK -- it does! Just haven't figured out how to change the link into a "click here" thingy !!
Just hit reply on my post...while having your post open and you will see the difference in the "code text". Actually, when you enter a link, you have to hit enter two times to process it. The second time the URL is shown, replace the text with "click here", or "bite me" or ...

GREAT photos...thanks for sharing the trip.

3 days after, the DV buzz is gone. Work and regular El Toro Poo-Poo have eaten away the adrenaline, the camaraderie, the lonesomeness and beauty of DV. That's why I have 20 hours into this iMovie - so I can recall just how good *good* can be. I had a great time.

I hope you enjoy this video. If you don't, well, I'm OK with that too. I do this for myself, and share it with you. I think you understand.

Warning - this video is over 20 minutes long, shot and stored in HD. I've not learned how, yet, to make a 'menu' of events, so use this as a guide should you not want to sit down for 20 and look.

But you should! :yahoo: Grab a beverage, crank up the speakers, shut the door then enjoy.

To all DV peeps - Thank you for showing.

MadMike, man we missed you, but I understand and respect why did not attend.

Here we go - and tell me, honestly, what you think of the video. I'm a rank amateur, but got to say I've enjoyed every moment of learning / producing this thing and all suggestions are welcomed.

Great vid, Don - thank you for the ride!

It's nice to know some of you Forum guys are thinking of us - the fairer sex :p

 
Ah, piękny Daniella z Polska
Ha, yep!
The story behind MCML's post is this -

03SilverBullet thought the young waitress was, of all things, of Polish descent. He even bet Valerie, MCML's date, for a drink! Oh yeah, Polish Steve, Polish.... :rofl:
