Low of 62 - High of 111...humidity 8%. Last of the super hot days for awhile and the perfect day to get the hell out of here and do an Alpine run. Stocked up good and had a couple of hours of air conditioned comfort in the truck. Got home at 6PM and found my new neighbor ( Leon ) set up to camp on his land, nearby. He has some major hurdles to overcome before he will be able to build out here. Will try my best to point him in the right direction. Temps rose up to 87 inside today with the place shut tight and Pepino off. Wetted him down and fired him up and the place has been steadily cooling - now 78 degrees inside at 10PM. Photo of the day from May 08, last year.Checked the email tonight and got this good word about my sick G9 from Canon:

I'm glad you have a stockpile of photos in reserve, to keep us Field Lab junkies entertained. I sure dig clicking on these photos every day and seeing beautiful west Texas. Great news about the camera.
Good ole Canon, that is one reason I buy from them, that and a friend works for them in Dallas. :-)
I wonder if the Canon service center is smart enough to Google incoming repair customers names to see if they have a web presence and tailor their responses accordingly.
Hey Allen Hare, I finally broke down and checked your blog.. Did not see any contact info.. Got one? think you can email me from my blog. :-)
Good news, although I love the cleverly worded caveat. Yes, I'm with Allen. I really appreciate being able to pop in on your world. Thanks, John Wells.
Good to hear that Canon will repair your G9. On a side note, did you know that there are indicators built into the camera (and most electronic devices, like cell phones) that tell-tale water or moisture damage, irrevocably (i.e., stands up in court)? I first came across this in the Apple store, while sitting at the iPhone bar...customers in a row were told, "Sorry, you let water get in this, so no warranty repair...oh, here three's how we tell." Who knew that some substances change color when they contact liquids? Doh.
