Glad to see you back, sorry about your parents.

To echo what others have said, it's probably time to invest in a decent tripod. I used one of those 'shaky' cheap ones that literally shook with a light breeze. The one I have now could probably withstand gale force winds, and it's made a world of difference.

Invest in a decent tripod, and a GOOD head. The head I would say is more important, because you can always cheat with the tripod to make it feel more sturdy. I sometimes hang my camera bag from the center column to weight down my 3021BPRO.. works wonders for timed exposures in windy conditions.
