Haha. You picked up on that. I checked my cameras at home and none are angled that way without trees blocking the sky.

We've been in DE camping with steady winds and strong storms coming. Has my wife a little uneasy but it would be heck of a ride in our 5er!
Hope all is well for you & your family.

Don't ship your PS 6.0 parts though United.

An ex-colleague from Detroit sent me this in his routine emails. I'm guessing there is one training site for the airlines and shipping - UPS, FedEx, etc,

_________________________

United - Yuk!

A Canadian musician from Halifax named Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines. Dave spent over 9 months trying to get United to pay for damages caused by baggage handlers to his custom Taylor guitar. During his final exchange with the United A/L Customer Relations Manager, he stated that he was left with no choice other than to create a music video for YouTube exposing their lack of cooperation.
The Manager responded: "Good luck with that one, pal.” So Dave posted a retaliatory video on YouTube. The video has since received over 18 million hits. United Airlines contacted the musician and attempted settlement in exchange for pulling the video. Naturally his response was, "Good luck with that one pal.”
Taylor Guitars sent the musician 2 new custom guitars in appreciation for the product recognition from the video that has led to a sharp increase in sales.

Been playing with my son's new to him car. 1988 300zx turbo...(well it still has a snail under the hood,guess it can't be all that bad). I helped him and showed him how to check the suspention and brakes and went over a few electrical items. All in all it is a great car. I took it out and showed him the fine art of driving a stick,first hill he got to at a stop sign and I knew he was going to stall it. Well the start decided to crap out right there and he got all flustered. I jumped in the seat and showed him some old school tricks. He was impressed, said he didn't know you could pop start it in reverse. I told him I was too old to push.....

Nice post! I’m growing tired of my Jaguar “project”. I’ve been watching for an 68-72 GM A body but lately I’ve come to really like the looks of a 1965 Buick Riveria. These guys have a couple....hmm. There are quite a few nice ones down in Florida but dang, Spotless $40k is a little much. A decent driver at $5-10k would be what I’m interested in but I may have to settle for something rougher if I cant find one like that.
