I saw a yellow cobra with white stripes on a magazine cover when I was a kid, never got over it. Been dreaming of one ever since.

Looks like you've got a hitch in your neck, Richard. Hope it's straightened out over the years.

That yellow Cobra screams 1960s.

Raining again. We might exceed our average annual rainfall (13”) by tonight/tomorrow AM. Less than two months to have the year’s average total. Dayammm.

That Cobra is very purty. The black pinstripes really set off the white stripes.

Ya gotta be careful yellow wth black stripes. To much black and it just ends up looking like a bumblebee, unless that's what yer goin fer.

That is a nice looking Cobra. The body shape of the later Cobras is pretty awesome. The really early AC bodies were just not mean enough looking.

I downloaded the new version of Photoshop, 2019. I was hoping they had removed the large Tif file limit. Nope, it will still load it up, but ya can't save it. GRRRRR.

Oh well, I have to cut my project file up into 9 pieces to stay under the limit with a mapping program. The cool part, is each file piece has a "world" file that locates the image on planet earth. As long as I have that file in the folder with the tiff, I can reload the pieces in my mapping program, and output a final mosaic fairly easily.

Below freezing for a bit here, then near 40* and rain by the weekend.

If you build a fire, be careful. Some of the materials in the computer will give of some pretty nasty fumes when you burn them.

Sorry I couldn’t figure out how to embed this.

Cool, windy and some rain here. Our year’s rainfall is in the books. It’s all a bonus from now through December.

David, your work posts always make me think of Office Space. You might enjoy this, too.

Thanks guys for the wishes.

I just got a call. They want me to come in on Monday for a 3.5 hour long interview and to meet the team. I am excited.

However, it is my friday. I have a long weekend get away with some buddies to head to my cabin. Relaxation and drinking some beers to calm the nerves before mondays interview.
