Introducing the MadelynGram :-)

Darwin, Keith
We're all very familiar with the lovely Lisagram or the heart-warming
Katiegram.  I've received a Madelyngram.
 
It simply states my K3 has shipped.  Whoo Hooo!
 
I hope it takes it's time and doesn't arrive until after Tuesday.  I'm
teaching a photography class on Wednesdays and have been using Monday
and Tuesday nights to prepare for the class.  I DON'T need a nice new K3
arriving at that time and tempting me to go play radio when I'm supposed
to be playing photographer.

Just let it sit unopened, Keith.  That's what I did.  But only 'til
after lunch.  Hi.

I know me well enough.  There is absolutely no possible way I'll leave
it just sitting there unopened.  If I were to try to just ignore it and
work on my photo class, I'd end up sitting there in a zombie daze,
unable to concentrate on the Flash Exposure Lesson I need to prepare.

If the K3 arrives, I'll have the box opened between the time I arrive
home from work and the time dinner is on the table!

My K3 kit came just as I was leaving the house to go to my daughters  
wedding rehearsal.   I opened the white box and grabbed the manuals.  
I read while my xyl drove, an unusual circumstance.  This was on a  
Thursday.  I was on the air by Saturday morning, the wedding day.  Kit  
went together very well and rig works as advertised.

Sounds like me but I have just ordered mine.  I have read most of everything
I could download (two full loose-leaf notebooks), still have a bit to go.
But I have LONG time to wait (ordered 3/30).  I had a K2, REALLY impressed
by the receive but the radio just didn't work out (I'll leave it at that).
Read all the download stuff on the K2 and then when I made the decision, I
started reading the K3 stuff and ordered it mainly on the performance of the
K2 receive.  This wait will be the slowest time of my life.

I will have to reread the books when it gets closer to my ship date as I
will have forgotten everything by then.
