Oooops

Well, I found my D40 Nikon camera... my daughter 'borrowed' it when she was here last time.  She took it on a road trip to Lake Erie and said the camera was terrific.  I don't plan on getting it back, so I went on eBay and did a Buy It Now and got a D40X; What the difference is between the  D and the DX I haven't a clue.  Book on order...

The only thing I found lacking with this used camera is the 'door' that covers the in-and-out on the side, and I covered the gap with a piece of black electrical tape.  I can't tell it is there unless I am looking for it.  And a single cover is 1 1/2 inches long so a roll of tape will last a long time.

The other thing I need to do is wipe down the neck strap to get rid of the ooky on it.  I need to get somewhere to take photos that are other than my room, even a shrub would be an improvement.  I need to get in the habit of turning it OFF when I am done, a re-charge takes several hours and the second battery pack doesn't seem to last as long.  

I made an appt. with the ortho doctor to check out my ankle.  He is the one who set it several years ago, and he said to come back if I had any difficulty with it.  And golly boy here is the swelling that keeps me from wearing any shoe, only bedroom slippers.  There is not very much improvement at all other than that the scar has faded.  C noticed that I am walking on the side of my foot, which seems to make my shin ache.  If it is one thing...

When I called his office I got my numbers mixed up and called the dentist, I don't think that would work out, do you?
