As long as the gear still worked and you didn't break any bones, then a repair job is a minor thing compared to body parts.. <<<<I missed the LUG! Had a great trip and came back with lots of exposed film, broken cameras and knees, parasites and lice.>>>>> All in all you could say it was a smashing success! :) And you missed the LUG! Really? Well just let me tell you honey....whew it was wild!!!! :) Haven't seen anything like it since old aunt Gert slipped down the 2 holer and they had to get the mules to lift her out! <<<What has been going on since I've been gone? The list seems pretty quiet.>> Oh Cheri, what you missed!!! :) oh my goodness! :) It was just soemthing else everyday from dawn to sunset and lots of it had nothing to do about Leicas. :) Excitment, screaming, yelling, lawsuits, threats of blackmail, trashing editors, art directors and bean counters including many other countless non-sensical things! All in all it was a "quiet time" to be on a assignment! :) And you really really didn't miss a thing! Now don't anyone tell her the truth! :) If she really knew, she would leave us immediately knowing we were actually very bad while she was away!:) We're glad to hear you arrived home safely with a good shoot in hand and no broken body parts. regards, ted
