It's been a while since my last post. Ironically, that one was about my first ever card failure. This one is about my second. At least the previous one was about those rare defects that may occur in all things manufactured. This one was caused by yours truly.

So as would typically happen, I get home from shooting and the first thing I do is put down my gear and download the contents of my card(s) onto my computer. The longer this takes after arriving home the more potential I have for twitching. Anyway, the pics are downloaded and now it's time to return the card to it's rightful spot, in my camera.

I come downstairs snacking on Wheat Thins. I grab the card out of the card reader and pop a Wheat Thins in my mouth. Crunch!! I stop for a moment and ponder the possibilities. First, I quickly glance at my hand. Nope, no SD Card there, just Wheat Thins. Then I reach for my mouth. Luckily I didn't break any teeth. However, I did have a memory card with 2 very substantial bite marks. I cleaned the card off with compressed air and put it in my camera. Card Failure Error!! Then I put it in my computer to attempt to reformat it. No luck!! Then I went online and bought a new 32gb Sandisk Extreme Pro card to replace the one that could now be used as a very small shim for a wobbly table or chair.

Sadly, I though it was pretty funny when I did it, and i still do now retelling it.
