No wonder! I should have gotten the Everclear model.

Not many pictures because my camera is broken. However, I did use the computer to draw this myself- You're welcome. I looked at my pepper plants the other day and noticed that something was eating the plants. And I never even saw this big-ass caterpillar, even though you can see it in the picture. When I finally found it the next day I ran inside and grabbed the .30-06 and shot it in the head. It was a biggun all right! And the camera- I dropped my camera at Macungie. It was one I got to replace the one I dropped in Johnstown a few years ago. I have arthritis bad in both of my hands and I put the strap around my neck every time I pick my other camera up, but this smaller point and shoot doesn't have a neck strap. It's the one I carried with me in the truck, and pretty much everywhere I went. I had dropped it before and it chipped a corner off it, but it still worked OK. But this time finished it off for good, it won't do anything. So I ordered a replacement camera exactly like it from Amazon. It was a discontinued model, so I had to get a refurbished one. It was on the front porch when I got home too. All was good, except it didn't work, it would not focus properly. So I sent it back and ordered the upgraded model of the old model, brand new, over $400. And this is what I get- A big purple haze in the middle of every picture. I've tried all different settings, different modes, same thing. It's much worse in low light, but you can still see it outside in full light. And except for the purple blob it seemed to take pretty good pictures. I took this close-up of a little green peach outside, it looks pretty good. But you can still see a faint bluish area on this pear, also taken outside in full light. So it's already re-packaged to send back to Amazon too. I like Nikon cameras, they're all i've used for years, after trying Kodak and Canon digital cameras, but sending back two in a row makes me wonder if I should give a Sony a try.

Here's a few cars that i've seen run there, but I don't think all the pictures were taken there. I'm pretty sure the Wisecarver Brothers and the Lawman Camaro were someplace else. These were just pictures I found on the interweb and saved them on my computer. I always enjoyed watching cars like these run more than top fuel or funny cars. Except for this guy in this 72 Nova. It wasn't super-fast, ran 14.20's, but that's not too bad for a 3 speed and 3.08 gears I guess. I later put a Muncie 4 speed in it and a posi. traction rear, and had a set of 4.11 gears ordered for it when it got wrecked by a friend of mine. Nice Chevy II at Richmond. The Wisecarver brothers are from Rustburg, and they were serious racers, even building cars for people for a while, they might still do. I've seen them running at Bristol on TV before. They had this car and a 66 or 67 Chevy II station wagon also, they would haul one and tow the other. Sharp Camaro. There was another Camaro i'd seen there called "Outlaw". And a favorite of everyone, Slow Ride. Big block Chevrolet, one carb, powerglide trans, 9.90's all day.

I always said Montana was the prettiest place i'd ever seen, and I only went there once, in January. I'd love to get another load of steel going to Payallup now and see everything when it's green.

Speaking of Richmond Dragway, some friends of mine from Powhatan put a 427 in a '67 Chevelle one time. I remember it had a cross-ram intake on it, the 2 carbs. sat kind of catty-cornered on it. First one of them i'd ever seen. It was just something they put together, mainly for street racing- that was big in the 70's. They took it to Richmond to see what it would do, and the first trip out it turned a 12.04. I'm not sure why I remember this, but I do. The next pass was like an 11.99, and they wrote on their time slip that they were done- 12.00 was the cut-off point and they could not put that car on the track again until it had all the required safety equipment, roll cage, driveshaft loops, helmet, etc. when one pass previous they were legal and had zero safety equipment!

Is that the old Richmond Dragway, kind of back behind the airport? I used to go there in the 70's, rt. 60 to Seven Pines, turn by the 7-11 store. Didn't know if it was still open or not.

yes.

Not sure where this is-

you're welcome

Here's most of them, I have a few more to upload, and i'll put them in an album later, but here's what i've got so far- https://www.flickr.com/photos/28526133@N04

Macungie pictures. I have more on another camera to upload, but this is most of them. https://www.flickr.com/photos/28526133@N04

It was at a place called Hubbard Park, I don't know the name of the mountain.

B 53S. These were two of the best looking B models i've ever seen.

The picture that was on the camera, after cropping it some-

We went to the greatest antique truck show on Earth in Macungie, Pa, then to Connecticut to see the redhead's parents and some of her old friends, then on the way back we stopped in Bethlehem and looked around the old Bethlehem Steel site, then toured the Mack Museum before we made it home. It was fantastic. We saw this in Macungie- We saw this in Ct. She took me to this place up on that mountain when I met her in the early 80's. We saw this in Bethlehem. And this was at the Mack museum-

...and it could have been much worse, I cropped most of the Freightliner out, but I would have to crop me and Bert too to crop it completely .

And I was expecting Jim Hancock to be wearing a straw hat, that's why I couldn't find him.

Ha! No, it does not. We saw you.

Here's another one.

Here it is. I'm standing on two IC Light cans.

Everybody likes that GMC, myself included. The owner invites everybody to get in it and look around. It's unrestored, has old oil cans in the side box, cigar box in the floor, just looking like it's working in about 1960.

Still on the camera, 399 pics. Time for a drank...

Here's just a few of about 400 pics. I took at Macungie, the rest are on the camera so I'll have to wait until I get home to put them on the PC. I took these with the phone, never tried posting pics. from the phone before either.This is the lovely Tami Elise- Bacon wrapped meatloaf- I think this was the best yet.
