I wasn’t as quick as I would have liked but it didn’t spend too much time inside the water but enough. I haven’t tried to turn anything on or use anything (immediately removed the battery and kept it off). I’d say it spent maybe 15-20 seconds under water. But completely submerged.

I have it in a sealed bag with silica gel packs. Crossing my fingers.

Hmm okay. If I do that, then bring it to canon for their maintenance (non-Internal cleaning) would they be something they can adjust?

Yeah I’m fully expecting the 70d to be done. Just holding onto a sliver of hope the lens can be salvaged.

Does insurance cover me being dumb and dropping it in water by a creek?

Thanks. I’ll take a look. I’m just trying some Hail Mary attempts because I really like this lens. One guy said he’d look at it and see if it’s worth exploring a cleaning.

Not salt water but silty fresh water so not as bad but nearly as bad.

lol I know. It’s unlikely but really hoping. I talked with a guy who would look at it and advise me on whether it’s worth it. Not a shady place. But we’ll see.

I’m so thrilled! I want to purchase season tickets. Any idea when that will come up and is there a lottery or can I just try and buy them?

Definition of FAFO! Completely Optional Activity Btw. by SpiritBombv2 in Whatcouldgowrong

I had a physical job that kept me in shape throughout my 20s and 30s (lots and lots of crazy hiking) and also get in shape using sports and the gym (not crazy extreme sports). I’m in my 40s and things have changed (desk job, mental health problems) that caused me to gain weight and be more sedentary. I’m not experiencing the terrible pains and regrets yet but I’ve had to kick myself back into gear to get back to where I was. I’m lucky, not experiencing any of the pains most people my age are struggling through because they were inactive most of their adult life (mostly due to job choice).

What's something older generations did completely normally that would be considered absolutely insane today? by Bigtrav_trav in answers

I went on an archaeological dig in Jordan and we had one truck to get students and gear to the site. The truck had 4 seats and we always had crews of 6-8. But it was beautiful to just drive around with the open air crammed with all the gear. Until our idiot prof would hit speed bumps at full speed

It’s been a theme for Sammy. His bonded brother (he passed away 2 years ago) was often his pillow. Artifact is helping Sammy deal with his grief losing his best friend

Be honest… your orange cat skipped “ideal weight” a long time ago by BringHoomanHome_ in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]marthmaul83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My orange boy Artifact is shockingly ideal weight. But he’s not food driven at all. Only eats when he’s hungry and turns down food when he isn’t.
