New baby arrives!!

My new baby arrived today at 11:30am - which is amazing as it's MY birthday too!!

We are going to call him FS-60CB, and he will look gorgeous on top of my newt!

Adam,

What a coincidence - it's my Birthday today also and as luck would have it a new baby arrived here too. My new baby is called BDF452SHE!

Happy Birthday!

Peter

Is it seriously your birthday as well - or did you just get a 'gift'? Nice gift by the way - Makita's are never unwelcome

Happy Birthday, young men.

Adam, you will love that new baby -- I love mine, too. You can get the adapter lens later which will turn it into an FSQ-60CB.

Yep, Happy Birthdays guys. I guess you'll be spending it outdoors tonight? It's looking very clear out there.

It is looking clear - and its freaking me out - where are the clouds that accompany such a purchase - is there an exemption if its your birthday??
