The first picture was taken by me after restoring my 1969 Firebird. The picture was taken on the seaplane ramp at Coast Guard Air Station Port Angeles WA, in 1990. You can see an H-65 Helicopter in the background, and a member of the aircrew is visible as they are preparing to go flying. The next couple pictures show what I did to my car during the overhaul process. I'm in the second and fourth picture. Keith (in third picture) gets credit for taking the second and third pictures. The last picture is the first Poncho engine I installed in my car after removing the 283 engine pictured in the first post of this thread. The first Poncho installed is a 428 I purchased from a wrecking yard near Seattle WA for $500.

Captured this sky shadow in Illinois last May. I think it was caused by the steam cloud over Lake LaSalle after sunset but I'm not sure.

I have a county road that is above the river. When standing on the road, you are at eye level with the eagle nest. About 60 yards away from the nest. I did not know I was catching one of the hatchlings getting lunch when I snapped this picture.

I picked this up last night in Milwaukee for a friend opening an antique store. I spent the day putting it back together and cleaning it. Works like a charm now!

I captioned it to send to my daughter so she could post it on Facebook (the butt hurt comments from that were hilarious). What other country can a girl receive a Queen Elsa dress and a Red Ryder on the same day?

Oh yeah! The liberals will complain.
I see a princess that you wouldn't want to get on your bad side.
