I own a jewelry store and if I could "make" jewelry with a 3lb hammer and a torque wrench I'd be a good jeweler...... I know some truly gifted custom jewelers and I'm amazed at what they can turn out. One made a miniature grand piano ring for a local bar singer. Cast it, cut it, pave' set about a million little diamonds on the top of it. He even cut little ivory and onyx keys for it......

This one is on my home computer. She makes that car look so good. Funny, I have the same kind of pic with her standing in the same pose when her head was just above the fender line. Seems like yesterday.

No diamonds on my ring. Just 27 small rubies to make the red background around the "GTO".

Weight back, hands ready, eyes on the target....





Good rotation, good weight transfer, low and away pitch hit for double to right center gap

This has been mine for quite sometime now.
It looks even better now on the big screen.


The flyer on the windscreen annoys me though!

I'd be tempted to pull one of those over into the "paint" program and see if I could edit that flyer out a bit. Nice shot!
