I love getting boxes in the mail! I like it when they come on their own, a special delivery just for the box, and it makes that nice “ommmm” sound. Then again I like it when they come in amongst all the junk mail and bills and there it is on my porch — surprise! The boring envelopes get tossed to the side while I carefully transport my special box to the office to be opened.
In the past week I have been spoiled with lovely boxes. Since I’m planning this big trip I had to do all my online shopping while I still have an address. In the last week I received a big box of books from amazon.ca for my RV library including Woodall’s RV guide, National Geographic’s Guide to National Parks, and Most Scenic Drives in America among others. I know, I know, you Kindle people, but it’s a fifth wheel I can have a library!!!
Then I received my new Cotton Carrier, that’s going to be fun to try out. Today I got a package from Really Right Stuff with my super duper expensive clamp (only a real nerd can geek out over a clamp) and I’m still expecting a package from BH Photo. It’s going to have some cool neutral density filters and a lensbaby! 😉
I can’t wait until all those empty packing boxes in my basement are filled and stored so I can get on with this! They don’t make that nice “ommmm” sound.
I hope you paint your RV something like the Flash Bus 😀
Ya, I was thinking of decal-ing it up but it might make it harder for resale. That would be so much fun though. I better sleep on that idea, haha.
I am looking forward to boxes from BH and RRS as well! What clamp did you go for?
I got the B2-40 on my tripod and it is great. In order to use the cotton carrier, it has to work with the L plate so I can move my camera easily between the carrier and the tripod. So I had to get a clamp for the carrier. It needed to have a threaded hole, so I ended up buying the B2 LR II: 60mm for that. It is a much bigger clamp. I hope it works! I haven’t tried it yet.
I have the same ball head and the same clamp – very happy with both. I had to look up what the cotton carrier was, but that looks like a handy way to carry a camera.
We loooove getting packages… which has become super rare since we’ve been on the road. 🙁 It’s just so darn hard to stay anywhere long enough to receive them, lol.
And super jealous about your RV library! We’re kindle converts all the way, but that hasn’t stopped us from haphazardly collecting random books in all our spare nooks and crannies. 🙂
