Chamonix 45N-1 Order Shipped

But, er...um, they have those shows on that newfangled cable tv - that's it!

I have Ebony boards but I'm not sure how well they will work - kinda like putting Finnish nordic ski pole baskets on Norwegian poles: you're just asking for trouble.

"Mismatch advised" - I think that happens when you order maple with silver metal, but I could be wrong.

Mine is still outside HANGZHOU. The strange thing is that Parcelforce UK knows about it, but reports "mismatch/advised":

Status: Advised
Parcel tracks
Date Time Location Tracking Event
15-12-2007 21:35 MISMATCH - HANGZHOU EMS Left origin country
14-12-2007 17:53 Delivery Agent - CHINA Collected from customer

I'm wondering whether or not the tracking system is perfect. It appears that shipments to the US are being tracked accurately, however those to Canada and the UK appear to have 'stalled'.

Maybe I'll get a nice surprise in the next day or two. But then again Customs is involved ...

Did anyone else memorize their tracking number?

I got my camera today, It is beautiful. I checked Tracking on a few minutes before it arrived and it said it had only arrived in the country.
I have one question though. There are 2 knobs on the back plate at the top. They spin down two little planes. I have no idea wht these are for. Anyone know?

[Kirk Gittings]

I'm feeling left out here. Would someone send me one?

[davidb]

I'll meet you at the railyard again and you can play with mine.

I`m not sure what you mean, can you describe what the "back plate" is? Or show a picture.
