Not a random pic, just Grandpa proud.

My grandson got MVP for this weekend's tournament. He switches between L/R wing.

It kinda depends on price and availability, some are to expensive and then I gotta wait for a good second hand offer at the right time

Nope, nope nope, not in my 911!




Benton and Helena stage at Sun River Crossing, Montana 1885


The W16 definitely qualifies for Weird Engine Class.


I think I see the problem!

This looks like a Pioneer Log Homes of BC build. They build the finest log homes in the world.

Amazing bit of history!



And the "jouster" is clearly related to this genius.

Surprisingly this is an abandoned restaurant. The Michelangelo Da Vinci Restaurant Pizzeria was opened in Italy in 2000 and closed in 2014.
Attached to the restaurant is a Douglas DC-6 and Tupolev TU-134.

Looking at Texas From Above at Night. Gives You a Different Perspective. Houston is There, Look Close. B/CS is Bryan/College Station.


Children outside a "typical Mexican ranch house" made of adobe in El Paso, 1914.
Courtesy the Portal to Texas History


Scene at the Hueco Tanks circa 1914. The Hueco Tanks are 35 miles east of downtown El Paso and are a square mile of huge, jumbled syenite rock. As the rock dissolved unevenly through time, it formed depressions ("tanks") in the ground that are capable of holding large amounts of water. In the middle of the desert, this awesome waterhole has attracted both humans and animals for millennia. Signs of relatively consistent human habitation go back for thousands of years. After all, in the desert, water is the most precious commodity of all.

It didn't matter how careful I was to try to not touch the exhaust...

The Grandidier’s baobab (Adansonia grandidieri), also known as the renala, may live to be 300 years old or older! Scientists are unable to confirm these trees’ exact age because baobabs don’t produce annual growth rings. This species of baobab is found only in Madagascar’s dry deciduous forests. It can grow as much as 98 feet (30 meters) tall, and its trunk can have a diameter of up to 9.8 feet (3 meters). Unfortunately, Grandidier’s baobabs are endangered due in part to habitat degradation, agricultural expansion, and exploitation for its fruit and bark.
