Cursing a blue streak...
 

Went out side for the morning cigar and saw two huge Fisher Cats
squaring off at the tree line - very unusual - probably males as they
were easily in the 12/15 pound range.

Ran inside to get my new E-3 - dropped it off the deck right onto the
concrete patio.

Words I didn't even know I knew rang out over the land.

Even worse - I left it lying there and ran back inside to get the
movie camera.

Battery dead.

It's not going to be a good day.

Damn, I wonder if you could leave it in your car and have someone steal
it. You might become Olympus's number one customer if you keep this up.

I think you need to start using a camera strap. I think your hands
aren't working as good as they used to. ;)

Did it land on the lens, or the body?

That's one of the reasons I own a cheesy $150 Canon. It'll do 70-80% of what
a hibux camera will do at 5-10% of the heartache if I lose it.

I learned that lesson around 1969 when my Pentax Spotmatic took a one way
trip to the bottom of Peconic Bay. Now, no camera touches my hand unless the
strap's at least wrapped around my wrist.

I use "the grip of death," too, even with a good-quality neck strap. I
always have one paw tightly wrapped around the strap.

Did I tell you that the guy who bought that Beretta was a college
classmate *and* dorm-mate of mine who I haven't seen in 40+ years?
Amazing.

Would this be a good time to recommend using the neck or wrist strap as soon
as you pick the camera up?
