If any of you are like me you are forever looking for a lens cap after a shot....
Well I finally cured the problem, in fact I have 2 cures.
Since my camera straps have velcro on them for attaching security climbing harness - and - I almost always wear something with velcro on it - I attached a piece of self adhesive velcro to the lens cap. Now I just stick the cap to the strap or jacket, pants pocket flap or whatever, and there it is.
In warm weather I often wear a gadget vest or a flyfishing vest, each of these has a velcro patch on the left breast - ideal place to park a cap. Barring those, I attach a cord to the cap and the other end to the strap, it dangles in the way sometimes but I never lose it.
just remember to match positive and negative velcro, or it wont stick - like magnets - opposites attract!

sorry about calling you a he. You can't tell with a lot of these screennames. As for me seeing How I was a michiganian from the age of 6 to tha age of 35 (big Rapids, Ferris State Alumni) I know all about Michigan winters. It was a joke, said in jest. Howevever if you don't ski, snowmobile, or ice fish winter in the north can get rough. That's why my adress now says FLORIDA. I like wearing shorts and a t shirt in January. I like that the cars aren't all covered with soot and road salt as well as rust. Not to mention snow caused fender benders as well as car deer accidents. gotta go put on some Jimmy Buffet and think about a tropical CHRISTmas. You did figure out i am just messin with ya?

A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one over on them easily.

So, the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game.
The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists, saying that the game is a lot of fun...."I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5.00. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00," he says.

This catches the senior's attention and, to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?"
The senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"

The lawyer uses his laptop to search all references he can find on the Net.
He sends E-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.

He wakes the senior and hands him $500.00. The senior pockets the $500.00 and goes right back to sleep.

The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"

The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.


You know you're going to send this one on.
Don't mess with seniors!
