Yesterday, after several earlier "false starts", the sale of my "excess" home in Dallas was consummated, relieving a too-long-standing ongoing cash drain of the most futile kind.
I have thus rescinded my program of self-imposed fiscal restraint, and ordered an EOS 40D body and an EF-S 60mm f/2.8 macro lens.
I know that the 40D has been around long enough that it is not likely that any of my "discoveries" with it will be noteworthy, but I'll pass on my observations nevertheless.
The 20D will go into "backup and second unit" status.
My only hope is that all the bodies will fit into the compartments reallocated to them in my camera bags!
Also on the acquisition list are a 2001-2002 Ford Ranger XLT pickup truck (SuperCab long bed) for me and a 2005-2006 fairly large sedan (e.g., Nissan Maxima) for Carla. These will replace a 1988 Ranger XLT and a 1998 VW Passat.
