It arrived since Sep 14 but just have a chance to write about it. Luckily Tukta took picture while I unboxed it.

FedEx delivered it last Friday (Sep  14). It took a week to deliver from NJ to Seattle.

Tada.

The box is not sealed :). I called Nikon and they said that BuyDig.com is not authorized dealer so they don’t know their policy.

D40x body. It feels good.

Standard issue Nikkor 18-55. Our first lenses.

Our Business System Architecture (BSA) published Service Scheduling: Optimizations and Considerations white paper. It presented prescriptive guidance about what can customers/ISVs do to improve performance and scalability of Service Scheduling in CRM V3.0. It is based on their test and performance tuning on large deployment. It can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4E077F9F-A712-4CDC-BDEF-FB9969E46F2B&displaylang=en.

Service scheduling was my first team in CRM when I joined 3 years ago so I always have a special place for it. I should write more about it in the future.

This labor day Tukta and I went to Olympic National Park. It was a wonderful trip. The weather is not perfect but we had a good time. All pictures are post here.

Day 1

From Bellevue, we drove to Edmunds ferry terminal and took a 30 minute ferry ride.

Our car (black Honda Civic) also took Ferry with us.

We got off at Kingston ferry terminal. Then we drove from Kingston to Port Angeles. On the way there, we stop at Port Gamble and visit a nice little car show. We saw a lot of antique automobiles.

1 1/2 hour after that we arrived at Port Angeles. As always, we got some brochure about toursit attractions.

Then we drove up Hurrican Ridge. It is very windy. Notice that Tukta changed her sweater as it is very cold. It was 5142 ft above sea level.

It was a cloudy day so we didn’t see mount Olympus.

On the way down the sky cleared up.

We even spot some dears (or elks) on road side.

Next we went to Dungenesse wild life refuge. It was nice place but you can see wild life only if you have binocular.

Some wild lifes.

This is our little hotel. It is Port Angeles downtown hotel. It is a family owned hotel but is very nice and clean.

Port Angeles is a small city. You need to waive a flag in order to cross the street (instead of pushing button at the traffic light).

We are planning for our labor trip. This year (actually, our first year together), we will go to  Olympic National Park. It is on Olympic Pennynsula. It will be couple hours drive and ferry ride.

Since we don’t have our new Nikon D40x yet, our pics will be from our good  old Canon A80.
