Yea, it was one of those daughter/dad bonding moments. You both know what I'm talking about. Spent the day shopping getting paint etc., then cleaned out her room, prepped the walls, etc. She did most of the rolling while I painted edges. Looks really good. You know they are growing up fast when the color pink is out and mocachino is in and they want framed posters/artwork.

The D40 is a step up for sure Tony. Although the 6.1MP is a bit on the low side for what I want to upgrade to next. My camera now is a 8MP, however different technology means different picture quality anyway. Sure beats what you had before. Curious though, why a SLR and not something more portable?
I like the diff options, the option to change mutliple lenses. Did a lot of reading reviews and such, have a backpack for it now, and i am going to get the smaller sling type bad for it for meets and stuff. It's not too heavy. Not too much of a pain to walk around with. Plus I will takt eh Kodak with me too. It'll be awesome once I master it and learn how to use all the features. I have two lenses now, 18-55 and 55-200, both work awesome. Can't wait to use it at a meet.

hey bruce, the boy and i were thinking about going to see them...why again were you disappointed?
Boy Toy??
Might be old age, but just seemed too forced and preachy. Light show was very good but it seems all flash and no substance. They also have a guy talking at the start of some of the songs which got annoying. As I said we only saw the 1st part. That was enough for me. I was hoping for more. Wasn't enough to keep me interested. The crowd seemed to like it.

Fun RX8 Fact: it's 48 degrees outside and I'm idling in my car at work and I had to turn the A/C on because it's so frigging hot in here lol.
P.S. - I would roll down the windows but there's jack-hammers all over the place.

If it does get too hot and it is that cold outside then I just set the temp to cold and let the outside air do the work and not the AC. Saves gas./RX-8Chick

So I'm one last viewing and a few answers away from putting an offer in on a condo.. I'm actually starting to get nervous about it! The place would need a little bit of work to make it up to my standards but nothing I can't handle (at least that's what I hope, haha). The kitchen is original (25 years old) with faded countertops and the cabinets need either replacing or insane TLC. They've been painted white which doesn't look horrible but definitely doesn't look modern. The last owner put down pergo in the kitchen, apparently on top of the linoleum. I'm thinking of pulling that up and putting tile down. I figure I can do that myself... The two full baths could use new vanities which I don't think would be too hard to do... The closet doors could use some updating too, they're a little sketchy. The other thing is the heating system... there's a heat pump. Two other condos I've looked at in this same complex have pellet stoves. That tells me there's not enough heat with the heat pump which dates back to '83. I'm asking about replacing it with a different heating system so that might be a major upgrade.
If any of you have experience with any of the harder things like the kitchen cabinets or the heating system I would love any help (advice, suggestions of where to go or who to go to, etc). Really exciting but nerve wracking at the same time.... I guess I might be getting really ahead of myself but I'm hoping I get it!

jenn, most of the stuff you mentioned is either easy to moderately difficult but can be done by you, with some help...the heating system is another story. heat pumps are traditional used in more moderate climates were below freezing temps are not the norm during the winter months. if the temps dip to low, the heat pump can't draw out enough heat from the air and then the electric supplemental heat comes on...big $$ now..so the reason, generally, that you see the stoves is for the more economics than the absence of heat.
Drove top down to Marlboro today. Beautiful. Going into Boston at noon tomorrow, more top down, supposed to be warmer.
Got the new ign tumbler yesterday. It comes disassembled with instructions on how to put it together. I called a locksmith who said they would key it for $40. So I figured to try it myself first. Wasn't too bad. Took me about 30 mins to get the correct sequence and numbered tumblers but new lock is in and working with the original key.
