exactly how far it is to their shop door but since I seem to be going back and forth thirty or forty times more than I should each day I decided to measure the exact distance...  54 yards one way.........

  What went wrong this morning, I miss placed the cover for my camera. I didn't realized it when daughter gave me this cute little purse of a thing that she said will protect that expensive piece of machinery.... Oh sure....I thought at the time....Which by the way has this rope loop attached to one end of the bag....just more junky things for people to spend their money on......Wrong, wrong....the rope loop is to place your little hand in for safer keeping, like in holding, tighter holding.... So far in the ten years or so I have dropped that little slick tinny thing many times but it keeps on a clicking....that means its still capable of taking pictures for the un trained language masters. So, one can look around this morning and see the results from that little camera 

My camera may be a bit larger DSLR. Tried cases years ago and decided not worth the trouble also used to turn off after every shot and that was a waste of time. So now I have lens cap on lens and switch is always on . With rechargeable battery is no problem.

I've had 3 cameras that had the lens cover attached to the camera with a elastic band. Works very well and I never lose them. My Sony lens would pop off when I turned the camera on. My Canon must be taken off manually and that can really confuse me when I am in a hurry, "Why is everything black?"

 

Why not make one and use instant glue to attach without damage.

I bought pack of 5 of those elastic stick on lens cap retainers from Amazon for about 5 . Sure saves the trouble of looking for the cap

Bought my Sony Mavica in 1981 and it's still going strong....

String attached cap and all...

I go down a few stairs and I'm in the shop.... sometimes I forget to wear pants it's so close....

Sure beats the alternative, though!

I dunno.   Can i get younger and keep what I know now?   That would be the ideal.   Let me know if that's good.
