Basically, you fill it with water, lay it in the sun, it heats up, you hang it from a tree and you've got a nice warm shower.

I think the writers here where trying to challenge my mental fortitude by exponentially increasing the amount of articles published on a daily basis - the whole experience was a blur! Took a well deserved break, cursed I would never do that again and now haven forgotten all about it... going for gold once more! It's so much easier on me when you guys raffle off a Zunes you know hahahhaha Jon For those who don’t know – by straight commenting I mean waking up at 8am and for 12 hours straight commenting on this board for a whole two weeks right before Christmas… I think the writers here where trying to challenge my mental fortitude by exponentially increasing the amount of articles published on a daily basis – the whole experience was a blur!

I got it at an amazing price, the pictures are beyond fantastic (that little internal computer is GOLD!) and best of all... my toes never looked so tanned! My only concern with it is about it getting too damp due to the humidity or rusting due to the salt "spray" but otherwise... it was well worth the (I believe) two weeks of straight commenting on CrunchGrear. Part of my top secret project involves taking over 5K pictures (no typo)... details coming soon.

How's that D40 treating you? That whole clause about how we writers can't win is bullocks. oooh yah, that’s right! How’s that D40 treating you?
