NEWS NOTES - MARCH 29, 2004


CAMERA BECOMES BETTER DEAL

The Panasonic DMC-FZ1 just dropped to $234.88 with free shipping and no tax except WA or WV. So far my friend Jim bought one at $288 and five of us at FunNSun bought one at $258, so $234.88 with free shipping is a great deal. The 12X zoom will put fun into picture taking and the stabilized lens will assure you quality pictures at the 12X zoom. There is not a stabilized lens camera at less than twice the price of this camera. Elsewhere on the web there is an extra battery available for $19 and a 256MB SD memory card is available for under $50 that allows you to take 300 pictures at the best setting.

GETTING READY TO GO HOME

We took our motor home and new minivan to Camping World to have the tow bar And lube pump installed so I can tow it back to Wisconsin. We plan to leave the 1st of April and stay a week in Port Aransas at Pioneer Park. They have high speed wireless internet there. Roy and Judy said they will be coming also.

During our stay I have appointments at the Corpus Christie Naval Station Hospital for an eye exam and a sigmoidoscopy. Pam plans to hang out at the Kohls Department store.

We are stopping at Forest City, Iowa to visit the Winnebago plant on the 14th and probably will be home around the 20th if everything goes well.

MORE BIRDS

Glen said he would identify the local birds for me if I took their pictures, so I made a web page with the different bird pictures. He complained that I had snuck some "foreign" birds. How many can you identify? These pictures are why I treasure optical zoom so.

CHANGING YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER

When you head north and sign up with a different internet service provider, please be sure to let me know your new e-mail address and give someone a referral bonus. Even if you don't know anyone using your ISP, look around for someone with their e-mail address and give their e-mail as a random act of kindness.

$100 FOR A FRIEND AND $50 FOR YOU

Persuade a friend to stay at FunNSun next season and get a referral fee of $50. Give them a coupon and they can save $100.

TOMATO BOX WORKSHOP

I have gotten a lot of response to my pictures of the tomato box. I will add more instructions to the page. If you have any questions, send an e-mail. When I get back to FunNSun in the fall I will hold a tomato box building workshop. Darrell asked what size is the box, it is about 30" long, 15" wide, and 11" high.

WATERING SYSTEM FOR TOMATO BOX

I used a five gallon bucket to build a watering system for the tomato box so I only needed to water it once or twice a week.
