Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

After manufacturing and pandemic delays, finally got the wife's new Hasselblad today that was supposed to be a xmas/anniversary/valentines gift.

It was sitting outside his townhouse (about 1 mile due north of the Capitol in DC). Saturday night, it got the crap shot out of ...
