Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What was your best Christmas gift this year?

Rick, what a great idea for a gift to keep the CW40 and 642 company! As far as how manly it shoots, that Federal HST 147gr load is all that anybody needs.

Thanks John, Once I shoot up all my Federal Hydroshocks that's my next purchase for a defensive round. I hope to finally get some rounds though it tomorrow.

My gift to myself was an EP350 and QS8's with stands.
I ordered them before the price increase and they were sitting in my rec room since November 24th.
Talk about will power!!!

Nice gift! AAHHHEMM...Pics?

Thanks for the heads up and congrats to you as well. I bought the D60 guide (Focal Digital Camera Guides series) written by Corey Hilz that was well reviewed at Amazon. I emailed Corey Hilz, and he was very kind to reply: "What you’d find most helpful is the information about the functions of the camera (autofocus modes, exposure modes, metering, shooting modes, playback information, histograms). Those same functions are in the D90, but you access them using buttons/dials and the top LCD, instead of via the LCD on the back of the camera (as is done with the D60). So if you can find the functions OK, then the D60 book will still tell you what they do. The D60 does not have live view or video, so there’s no info on those features. Menus are a bit trickier. The D90 has more extensive menus than the D60, so the D60 book will be of limited help in that regard. The chapters on light, composition and accessories are very similar. The software chapter is OK, but I’ve updated it for the D90 book as new versions of the software have since been released." His guide for the D90 will also be released in February.

Does that mean you're almost caught up on last years sleep?

I am just catching up from the full day of lost sleep due to Christmas, the kids were up at 3AM and I went to bed at ~1AM and never made it to sleep!! Although I do feel much better than I usually do. I now just have to get my workouts back into the schedule and JAN. 1 seems like a very good day to start!

I hear you on the workouts. I feel like a tub of lard since I moved to a desk job again.

Thankfully I have a job where I'm always on the move, but even just having the weekends off makes me feel sluggish. I've only been working out during the week, too. I should switch a couple days so I'm working out on the weekends instead of doing so much concentrated nothing.
