Another One Bites the Dust

So today was an eventful day...

I sold my Digital Rebel Camera... in only a few hours...
We posted it on Craig's list and within a few hours, a large biker was standing in my living room...
As off putting as he might have been, he seemed nice enough...

Prior to that I spent my day with my face pressed against the car window while driving past numerous garage sales... One of which offered popcorn for a quarter... A refreshing service when compared to other sales that had boxes of Penthouse scattered across their yard...

After entering an unappealing cul-de-sac and turning around to leave I noticed a familiar contraption...
With the car still running I dive out the door and hand the lady 5 dollars for a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker...
Having fought off three other contenders... down the last second..,

Six hours later, after properly chilling the freezer bowl...
I heat up 4 cups cream, vanilla, sugar, and mint.

With everyone standing by I put it all together and pour it all in...

Seconds pass before they look up and ask why I had spent all that time freezing the thing, only to pour boiling milk into it...

Yet another seemingly simple contraption beats me again...

20 minutes and I will be ready to throw it all away, if it doesn't burst into flames first....

You sold your digital rebel? I thought you just recently got it.

Miss Clare said...

Yeah, I sold it in under two hours...
I bought a better one...
It will be here within the week...

Going from a 6 mp. to a 10.

So it should be a good change. It comes with a image stabilizing lens too...

Mr. Burns said...

Nice. Sounds like a sweet camera.

Miss Clare said...

I am looking forward to it...
Still takes like 3 pics per sec, and has live view so I can see the shots on the screen as I take them...
Should be pretty sweet.
You'll have to check it out...

Mr. Burns said...

Definitely.
