Anybody have a couple basic lenses for a DSLR Nikon (D50 is model) they want to part with? I bought the camera body, had it serviced/cleaned, and am ready to go......but alas, no lens. Even the standard 50mm would be good if someone wants to part with it. I eventually will buy some 'good' glass, but right now just want to take pictures.

Would have been nice for them to let me know, since they are my bank!!!!! Sorry to hear that Trace!

Trace.......... didn't Arnie tell you about the super secret dot switch?

If you want something analog, here is what I've been wearing for the last year after wearing the Timex Ironman for about the last 6.

Southpaw here too.

This is a great thread, and I hope people continue to add to it.
I am in the very same situation. I have been at my current job for 7+ years and in the industry for 11+ years. I desperately need a change, but I am at a loss as to what profession would make me happy. I like the people I work with, but the cooperate politics suck. My job is an exercise in futility and I struggle with it every day. Thank the good Lord that I still have it, but a change would probably add years to my life.
I have a running list of my strengths and things that bring me happiness. My hope is that they will develop into some direction, but to date there nothing is jumping out at me. At least not a profession that would allow to me to maintain my current standard of living.
My biggest fear is that my true calling is going to be to sell all of my worldly possessions and going on a mission to help others.
Well, I thought about 'wondering the Earth, like Caine on Kung Fu', but I don't think it pays well.

I am not into IT, however my suggestion is to sit down and make a list of the negative aspects that your are dissatisfied with. If one of the aspects is constanly helping apathetic individuals with problems they created and have no desire to prevent in the future I would stronly suggest you stay away from the health care field.
That sounds like most IT users.
Hell, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. -
I don't think it's a midlife crisis, since I already have ex-wives to prove that happened.
Anyone change careers post 40 and how did it go? Advice? If it helps to know, I'm in IT, have been for almost 14 years. Hate it. Ab.so.lute.ly. Hate it. I'm actually thinking something in health care-- there are several 16 week programs that get you a solid base and a foot in the door. Thinking it'd be a solid change.
I don't really care too much about the $$$, I have pretty basic needs and the wifey is the breadwinner anyway.
If I could wake up tomorrow and only have to use a computer again for my own use and entertainment, that would be a friggin' GREAT day......... anyway, maybe this too shall pass, but figured I'd ask the wise oracle known as Enosworld for thoughts. -Mike

Been there. Done that. THREE times. If it's any consolation, number four is a keeper.

Used it for years on Glocks, never had a problem. Just remember to rinse dry and re-lube. Glocks don't have to be run as dry as some folks think.

Another Texas girl done good. RIP, Farrah.

We're thinking about buying a retirement home in Belton/Temple.......... and we're currently in the metroplex. Nice area......

Central Texas is a good start.

Good stuff!

CONGRATULATIONS on the new baby! You've captured the Newf in its natural state ... wet! Make sure s/he has a job as s/he grows up, it'll make both of you happier.
Wishing you a L-O-N-G life together. Plan on Newf fur becoming a decor item in your home and an occasional source of fiber in your chow ... and enjoy every minute of your life together.
That is indeed the plan. We're going to start training him to earn his WD title and who knows, maybe he'll end up as a VN. ( The equiv. of a GM in shooting!)
-
Well, not quite an entire year later, I now have my puppy. I'll be shooting a lot less, but life is getting better!

I think you know my choice!

Behold the power of the DARK SIDE!!!
Open rocks!! -
Where is the best place to stay in Breckenridge?
Fort Worth.

Two IDPA matches in a row I've gotten procedural penalties for shooting targets out of order. I NEVER used to do that.
Bright side I guess is they were fast penalties.
I got to the point where my pea sized brain couldn't keep track of which was which, so I just stuck with one.

I was glad for Machida's win as well. I never minded Rashad until he pulled that low class gesturing crap during his fight with Griffin; after that, I lost respect for him. I'm actually not ruling Forrest out for coming back and winning the belt.

Harmon made Master with a G24, so I'll vouch for him knowing his Glock-fu.

We shot it at Area 4 year before last. Tom Drazy made it, I think?

Caffeine for faster shooting

Can't add much to what's already been said, but don't do any more or any less than you would any other day---- I've tried shooting all jacked on Monster and/or coffee, and it was detrimental to my overall match performance. I felt the urge to "go fast" regardless, which isn't conducive to good hits. (At least not for me!) Experiment with what's best for you, but don't over do it.
That's my .02.........take it for what it's worth.
