Friday, Mar. 21, 2003 - 8:24 p.m. I have spent the past couple of hours making sure everything is just right for tomorrow�s wedding. I emptied all of my hard drive space taken up by old photo files. I was surprised by how much space I had consumed with the photos I have shoot since January. I burned a couple of cds with these files (250+ mbs, the most I have ever burned onto a disc). After that, I deleted all of the files. The �my Photos� file is completely empty. I cleaned all of my camera lenses. I have several filters for the 35mm camera (duto, spot soft focus, and cs) that I only drag out for weddings. I will leave the duto on all day (it softens the whole frame just a little bit), and add the soft focus and cs where they could help improve a shot. I have been rotating my rechargeable batteries in and out of the charger for the past 24 hours. I have three sets of the GOOD rechargeable batteries (NiMH), and they take at least 8 good hours to get up to a full charge. I had several sets of the rechargeable alkaline batteries, but they won�t take a charge anymore. They have about 1/10th of the life of a NiMH battery (according to what I have read), but these didn�t even last that long. I won�t waste my money on them again. I also have 16 extra throwaway alkaline batteries. I doubt I use any of these, but they will be there as backups. I cleared all of my Smart Media cards, too. I had photos from last fall on one of them, so that was past-due maintenance. I have the list of photos the bride expects. I have my tripods (with the quick-attach bases already attached to the cameras). I even have my clothes out, ready for a quick going-over with the iron tomorrow morning. Codeman (finally) has his coaches� approval to skip Saturday�s practice to help me at the wedding. Gee, thanks coach! Wouldn�t want to put family ahead of high school sports practice, would we? I know it�s pathetic, but I am still afraid something will go wrong. I won�t make as much money shooting this wedding as I would plowing snow on a Saturday, but I still want things to turn out well. Maybe it�s because this is one of the few weddings I have shot where I didn�t know EITHER THE BRIDE OR THE GROOM? Maybe�.. I managed to cut all of the fallen wood up today. I cut the firewood-worthy pieces into split-able sized chunks. I drug all of the smaller stuff by hand into the alley. There, I stacked it into easy-to-move-later piles. I will have to haul it to the burn pile at Mikey�s house whenever things dry up a little later this spring. That is, unless someone turns me in for blocking the pathetic alley behind our house. It isn�t passable in perfect conditions. It is now too wet to drive my truck down it, let alone a larger vehicle. Neighbors can be odd. One of them might turn me in, just for spite. I guess I will just have to wait and see�.. I�ll leave you with a link to a (relatively) new band�s web site. The group is known by the name �The Datsuns�. They hail from New Zealand (hi Flying-Kiwi!), but they just as well could be from 1974. They play the kind of hard rock I grew up listening to, even though the members of the band couldn�t have been born when this music was popular. Check out the video for the song �Harmonic Generator� on the sounds/video page. That will give you a pretty good idea of what they sound like�.. Let me know if you like what you hear� Damn, I just tried to post this, and I see Diaryland is dead again! Andrew sure has had a bad week. I guess this might not get posted until Saturday��.
