I am sitting here waiting for my 50mm 1.4 lens to magically be delivered by that Santa in brown. I keep checking the door, the tracking and still no lens. ACCCKKKKKK I want my lens!

Ok I think being housebound for almost 2 weeks is starting to effect my brain

Oh the things I want to do with this lens! I should make a list ... oh wait I already did that

Pfffffffffff.....

I'm probably one of the most impatient people around.

Right now I'm waiting on an ATF form 1 tax stamp for a SBR that if I'm lucky will arrive sometime this coming May.

I always do love to hear that big brown truck pull up in front of the house with those killer boxes of toys from B&H too though. At least they can be tracked.

Congrats on the new glass!

What's an SBR?

ding, ding ding.

and being that he's waiting on a form one, it means he plans to manufacture the rifle instead of buy it. Which means cutting down a barrel or more probably building an sbr from a kit...or adding a short barrel to an existing lower reciever that has already been designated a rifle.

i've waited 8 months for tax stamp on a suppressor ...with the suppressor 100% paid in full sitting there waiting on the feds... unnecessary bureaucracy at it finest.

I'm having trouble being patient waiting for something, too... but it's not photography gear!

I ordered a peacock feather that clips in your hair, like three weeks ago, and it hasn't come yet. I'm getting impatient for it to get here...!

It's not as important as a new lens, but hey, I've been waiting for it to get here for three weeks now! And I love hair accessories.

completely random fact...but you know the hair feather phenomenon is so big that it is impacting the fishing market...guys who make hand tied flies are having trouble getting the feathers they use and the costs have gone up significantly!
fast facts for a fast world...

Really? Interesting fact...

And all the birds are probably going around without tail feathers.
