Canon back to Canon

Well, keen observers have probably noted the blotch in the upper left of some of my photos. See the Big Sky post for an example. Well, last week was the last straw for the annoyance of this and so I sent the power shot 770 SD IS back to Canon to have them repair it while it is still under warranty. $12 to send it. The blotch comes and goes at will and is inside of the lens. Might have occurred by going from cold to hot during a day, quien sabes? Everything I have seems to last about 6 months and then goes kaput. Last year it was three Garmin 305s I think as they also kept sending me back broken refurbs. I love the Edge product though. I see Canon is coming out with a waterproof, indestructible job this month. We'll have to see I guess.

While watching a track meet over lunch hour yesterday a friend commented that this is the coldest and wettest spring he can remember in Missoula. I concurred. Point 6 and Sheep Mountain are looking very distant from the Big Sur's standpoint. Actually, they are getting more snow at this very moment.

Addendum 5-31-09: Canon repaired the camera inside lens - so far so good.

I'll double that "coldest and wettest" for the Butte area as well. Brrrrr.... Fishing is pretty good though! [you fooled me with that "might as well row" post--though you were taking to the raft instead of the bike]

Hello Eco,

Rowing Ergometer above. My raft is a lonely sole in my garage lately. Waiting for the salmon flies shortly though if we ever get the blow off. I thought the blow off was on as the rivers came up fast, but right now the rivers over here are receding and the mountains are filling further with the white stuff.
