Round 10--REALLY???

mooseontheloose · Feb 10, 2016

I got Bob's "conversation" about his address this morning, but today is a national holiday in Japan, so it looks like the camera will go in the mail tomorrow!

walbergb · Feb 17, 2016

Today is February 17 and the camera has arrived! From Japan to the middle of Canada in just 6 days! Now if only I can make my shots and move the camera along that fast

toro_mike · Feb 17, 2016

Wow! We're FLYING now!! YAY!

mooseontheloose · Feb 17, 2016

I was just thinking I should probably tell everyone that I've sent the package on...

NedL · Feb 17, 2016

oh wow, I better plan my photos, it's going to be here in two shakes of a ... well... a few months... or years ... or something.
What was it we were supposed to do again? We need a selfie stick, right? What was the camera?

Dang I'm going to need a hydraulic selfie stick for that.... Rick I hope you have a big developing reel

Save some chickens, I suppose...

walbergb · Feb 18, 2016

There is a jack rabbit that visits our back yard regularly. I could substitute the rabbit for the chicken

But where are you going to get a Jobo big enough to handle a 1m-diameter concrete storm drain?

Rick A · Feb 18, 2016

I'll just roll it down the hill past my house. Then use my truck to drag it back up.

Too late ! Ate some covered steamed chicken with spices, and fettuccine verde...

But the camera is moving, and this is great news !!!

BTW, Rachelle, how did you manage the batteries shipping problem, finally ?

I couldn't send them. The post office people are really anal about batteries, despite what the official literature says about shipping them. That said, the batteries were down to their last power bar, so they would have needed replacing soon anyway...

Rick A · Feb 22, 2016

Funny, I put a fresh battery in before I shipped the camera. Well, I guess it has been in a while.......

It may be that most of OUR batteries are drained before this thing is over!!

There is a lot of reasons to be optimistic, camera has travelled almost an half of its journey !

I tried to do a synthesis of the different correcting and adjustments, please correct it yourself if needed !

Wake up everybody! Tomorrow will be one month since the last post. Any updates from the great north? The tasty chickens are getting restless, or are the restless chickens are getting tasty

Raphael · Mar 21, 2016

Yeah, Mike, you're right ! I was also to the point of making a "wake-up" post myself.

So, it would be great if we can hear some news from Gentleman Bob (walbergb) !

With the help of new APUG's popup profil, we know that walbergb was last seen March 12th. Unfortunately, we can't learn what he's wearing at this time.
Guess, as he is in Manitoba, it's probably big anorak and a Stetson hat...

Are you kidding? It's spring now! Once the temperature gets over 0 C, well, that's t-shirt weather! (speaking as a former Manitoban)

walbergb · Mar 21, 2016

Ya, the camera hasn't moved from the shelf where I put it when it arrived. Bad timing. I'll spare you the details, but I know you would understand. You can expect the camera to move on to Matt in the next week or two.

No problem , I think people here are used to be patient.. It's OK as long as the dogs haven't ate the camera

Doctor : "Okay, Raphael, I know this jacket is really tight, but can you tell me more about that "Camera 10", which prevents you from sleep ?"
