So, my 2 year old canon is having problems with the sensor(assuming). I have a cool chase day coming up on the 24th so I next day air a new digital rebel from BH. Well I knew since BH had been closed they wouldn't ship it the day I ordered it. So, I chase with my old camera. The pattern is taking a big crapola as I get back and recieve my new Canon Digital Rebel XT(350D). Good thing I next day aired it! Taking a wild guess after looking at the extended models I figure I may have a good 3 weeks before there is anything worthwhile to chase. :( I took the new camera with me to my parents while I made my daily dog visit. It is raining out and I get the bright idea I should take the dogs and the new camera out in it and mess around. What better way to break in a brand new camera than in rain!

I couldn't track down an umbrella but that wasn't going to stop me. I grabbed a small towel and put on my head/hat. I wasn't sure what good it would do but just kind of went with it. I soon figured I could have it hang out a bit further on the bill of my hat and off to the sides of that. If I kept the camera right to my nose the cap and towel would keep it mostly dry. So I either had it there or up under my shirt. While doing all of this and getting very wet my new long-sleeved, red Nebraska shirt was bleeding red through to my t-shirt I had on below. NICE. Anyway... Jon here looking extremely unenthused. He was like, what the hell is your problem. |

Roy thinking much the same though slightly more into it...not much. |
|
|
I asked, "Isn't this fun?" Roy replied, ".....is that a rabbit........" |
|
|
"I'm too wet to chase a rabbit." |

This was funny. He stops walking, closes his eyes and just stands there for a bit. He really really doesn't care for the rain. |
|
|
I could tell he was not happy with me because of how long it took him to look towards me. I tried and tried to get him to look and he refused to even hear me. Then when he finally turns to look he still doesn't acknowledge me. I think he's looking back at the house. |

|
He not only doesn't care for the rain, but doesn't care for mud either. |

|
More unhappy standing around. |

I told Roy he was a little wet and what does he do? He sticks his tongue out at me. I think he might have actually enjoyed this little trip in the rain. |
|
|
Jon looks a lot happier in this shot than he actually did at the time. He was doing more of that stand in one place and look unhappy stuff. |

Well we were all quite wet now and my new camera was getting a bit wet for my liking, so we headed back to dry off. |
