Here are some outside photos of it when I drove it. One of them is going to be on the F Body calendar for 2017.

I received a PM about pictures for the above mentioned calendar.
The problem I have is lighting killed my home computer recently (power supply, mother board and hard drive). I didn’t have my pictures backed up. My computer is finally working (somewhat) and trying to recover what I can from the old drive.
What a hair pulling nightmare.

I updated a handful of computers at our house to windows 10 last year.
The kid’s laptops and parental controls seem to be more effective with windows 10.

That said, I made backup copies on DVD and on USB drive of windows 10 – both of which have sense disappeared.
You can’t download windows 10 anymore and (the new copy of) windows 7 won’t read my documents, my pictures or my window 10 iso file needed to make a new Win10 DVD copy, from old hard drive.

On top of that my old SSD hard drive only will work for about 5 minutes before dying, so had to make it hot swappable and keep trying to extract data from it when it does work.

All of the pictures taken and most of my documents sense April were not backed up (and I generally do that every couple of months).
Hair pulling, yes.

Frustrating.
I moved us up to Win10 but haven't done a backup in a while. Sounds like a good activity this 3 day weekend.

Take some new ones and use google bucket or something else.

Might get that done this weekend. That doesn't fix the computer, though.

Got another trouble free 30 miles today on the way to work and back.
It was a min-car show with my car, a '67 LeMans and '78 Monte Carlo. Yes, I took a pic and it showed up on the camera screen afterwards. Went to upload and now that pic, and ONLY that pic, just brings up "READ ERROR":(

At long last,,,,,,,,,,,,,it's clear and NOT raining(!) Whipped it out for a few miles early this morning. Pretty darn nipply out (as in 43 degrees) but that's why cars have heaters, yes?

Had the car out last early Sunday morning. Took a ride to areas I haven't been to in eons and almost got lost. All the streets, roads and buildings have been rebuilt, expanded, rerouted and everything else in the past few years. Took West Stewart Ave as far as 72nd Ave, took the freeway back to 28th Ave (the plan) but ended up headed north on a different freeway instead. Heading east on hwy 29, there's 4 lanes that split. To get to the southbound flyover ramp to Hwy 51 you take the left 2 lanes on the north side of the freeway, to get on the northbound fly over ramp to head north on Why 51, you take the far right lane and 28th is the #2 lane on the right, which curves and splits for left and right turn onto W. Stewart Ave and then a block to 28th Ave.. Seems backwards somehow and I don't think I ever need to drive there again, lol.

These are a couple of sky views from a few years ago to maybe make my insane ramblings make sense.

Good, old fashioned clover leafs used to make freeways very consistent, and easy to understand. This new crazy design stuff is just a recipe for more accidents, and disaster.

Problem is, that whole deal is where Hwy 51, Hwy 29 and Hwy 52 all meet along with The Hwy 52 Parkway and half a dozen major surface streets. It actually works really well,,,,,,,,,,,as long as you pay attention to the overhead signs which SOMEONE obviously wasn't, lol.
Before it was all redone (way more than just what's shown in the pictures)between 2002 and 2012, traffic would get backed up for miles on every freeway and the surface streets, and now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it never backs up barring a disaster (accident, ice storm, blizzard, etc).
No whipping any time soon. There isn't one single day in the 7-day forecast without a good chance of rain.:(

For the first time in way too long, whipped it out and took the car to work today. About 30 miles round trip. Felt good to sit in that seat again which is way too rare year (stupid rain.......).

I whipped this out to days in a row. I had the front end painted and still to have the fog lamps put back in their holes.
