It is a wide angle lens.Perspective makes it look a lot bigger. Like the 15 foot rattle snake photos. Just camera BS.

Yah. And probably close to underweight. Nothing to be proud of. Sad state these days.

This is an even better place for my car.
Now that is a smart setup!

Calling "Dan Tanna" - although Robert Urich passed in 2002 (?)


Impractical as hell due to out-gassing of a number of notso healthy vapours.

Cheers

As seen on a parcel examination table at the shipping company in Pt. Roberts WA. where I pick up parts from our host. It has been there for mos. so this time I decided to take a pic with the trusty cell phone. Evidence a number of lower mainland Pelicans use this facility.

Cheers

I think the drip pan is for "everyday" when he pulls in forward. The car is backed in on "tech day" because it's 15 feet closer to the tool box!

Actually that is my parking spot for my daily driver the El Camino. I back in because the garage is on the side of my house and it is easier to park backed in. Normally a piece of plywood is covering the pit.

And my 911 does not leak oil on the floor.



A recent batch of home made ice cream we made. That -4 was a spot of heavy salt.
