Saying Goodbye

Dave as we all know loves to fish but if your gonna go fishing you need to take a camera because you need evidence when all you do is catch and release. So when I bought my camera many years ago before meeting Dave I never thought of all the fishing (swimming) it would be doing. My cute little Nikon took many great pictures and went on lots of fun trips, many of which it became submerged a time or two. But that good ol' camera kept on working.

For a long time we have talked about getting Dave a underwater camera so we didn't have to worry about it not living through another fishing trip. I just couldn't quite get myself to say ok to this though because my camera still worked just fine. A few weeks ago however Dave came home from a fishing trip and told me that not only had my camera been swimming again but it had gone swimming with it's lens open. Dave thought she was done for but I thought for sure she would make it again, she always did.

The next morning I got up early like I usually do and started breakfast for Dave. I preheated the oven and started the cinnamon rolls. When the oven beeped that it was heated and the rolls were reay to go in I opened the door to and there in the oven on a hot plate was...

MY CAMERA!!

The poor thing was melted completeley, destroyed beyond repair! I quickly grabbed the camera and went running to the bedroom where Davey was fast asleep I said "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!?" quickly he woke up and stared at me. Then he proceeds to ask "why didn't you look in the oven before you turned it on?" there was nothing left to do the camera was destroyed and the accomplice was in complete denial, so I just laughed! There is no use crying over spilt milk. The damage was done and I have to admit it was a pretty funny way of loosing the camera.

It went out with a a bang or should I say burn.

The only thing I really regret is this happened a couple days before my cousins wedding so I had no camera to use. But we got a deal on a new camera and it is water proof down to 30 feet so Dave can take it fishing anytime he wants!
