Sep. 2nd, 2015 07:13 amDue to a snafu when he changed his schedule in June, Aaron doesn't have housing this year. This would have been so much easier if it had happened while we still lived in Jersey. He has been commuter kid for the last couple of days and doesn't seem to mind the four hours it takes out of his day. It's going to be a weird readjustment after losing him every fall for the past couple of years.
When we went to the Clark, I lost the ring on baby Leica that holds on the lens cap. After being unsure what to do, I called Gary. He told me to bring it (or mail it) along with my M9. As it turns out, there is a recall due to a bad sensor issue... And given the way it behaves sometimes, I think mine will be getting a new sensor. Plus side is that a new sensor, but the down is that I've really gotten some great shots a out of it lately and an itch to get out to use it more. I'm hoping to have it back before we manage to pry Pete from work so I have it wherever we end up going.
Because of making contact with Gary due to problems, Pete is a happy owner of some Leica binoculars. I decided after a particularly punishing week, he deserved something extra special. He has been wanting a pair for as long as I've been traipsing around the woods with cameras....so I thought. He's actually wanted binoculars since he was a kid. I called Gary to check pricing since he had been so helpful with the camera. When he quoted me a price that was lower than B&H or Amazon and I told him as much. He told me that he would always takes care of his customers. He then called Leica to have it drop shipped since he didn't have it in stock. After trying a few reps, he told me he would call me back when he found someone. When I spoke to him later, he hadn't been able to find anyone, but knows the Leica U.S. president and called him. The end result was that the binoculars were in transit to me before I had even given him a cc number. And now Pete has a pair of Ultravid HD 8x32 binoculars that he adores.
Shifts happening in LJ have brought back a name I cut some time ago. Not comfortable with that. We shall have to see where this goes.
Gotta go. Sam is breaking the household "don't be a dick" rule and needs to be stopped.
