After a night long battle to save all we could, I had also brought the LeMANS over to the house earlier that day for an up coming show. So it was also a fun time frantically jacking the '66 up while the water kept rising, manged to get it up on stands as high as possible with hopes it would be enough.
I Took this underhand shot the morning after water started to recede. Whew Just enough...![]() Kiss my A$$ Mother Nature, not this time!

That spruced up well. If you or anyone else wants 'wax this one up,' go for it. Maybe make it into a contest in a contest. It's an old scan of a snapshot. Sunrise at the edge of the continental shelf. Location 72 miles off the coast of Ocean City, MD. The picture didn't capture the color, and it was a rare instance to have such explosive florescent colors. We would pause and try to to catch the green flash as the sun breaks horizon. Likewise for sunset: Mike H. You taking notes? Might be a good project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_flash |

Hikin Mike - with that user name I just figured you for a hiking fool like me. Sorry to hear about the knees but sounds like you're making the best of it! I'm still a good ways from needing a replacement. Tore both ACLs in the last three years. Right knee was back in late December 2015 and that took out about 20% of the meniscus too. Feels good after the repair done by the Seattle Sounders/Storm team doc. Left knee was three years ago and has never felt as good. I guess time will tell.

Funny how my favorite pics are the ones I just snapped at random. We were visiting one of my sons in the USMC stationed at Camp Pendleton for Christmas. We had a cottage on base we were renting,right on the ocean. It was almost 80 degrees that day. I saw my toddler pulling my daughter towards the waves about 150 yards out,so I zoomed in and snapped it,then finished my beer.
