Boston will be cold, Fla will be hot, and in between will be warm. I already told the wife I extended an invitation to you. I even told her you could take her with you.

We'll be with two people, me and a friend, but he can sleep outside...

Please make the necessary arrangements for the wife's visa for Europe..Did she have her shots already?

[Rick V]

I would love to shoot her. I have room for a couple of people so it's all good

Your lack of green font is disturbing...


Wheeeee, I'm so looking forward to this, and it's still far away.
It's gonna be great fun! Even planning the whole trip is going to be fun.

Borrowed a friends 17" Hoosiers to replace my worn fronts. Now the rear came loose. 3rd run was even worse, ran out of card, no vid.

If this is on your list of places to see, it is 20 miles from my house.

Dave you guys have a great facility for that. Ours is fairly small so no speed just lots of wheel cranking.

Site bookmarked!

Rick, it is huge! Fighting to keep it though. Destined to be a peoples park. Lack of funding just shrunk the size of the park, so hopefully the runways will remain for the near future.

I hope it stays. Our area is a good one, but in Lanna I rarely get into second gear. The Boxster is a much better car for our area.

We scan each 9x9 negative at 12 microns. That is about 2,100 DPI. It makes a file that is 19,000 x 19,000 pixels that is 1.05 Gig. A roll of film cost about 2,700 bucks and is about 500 frames of film. When we fly the OKC metro area we use an entire roll of film flying at 12,000 ft. There is a lot of overlap of each image. We then mosaic the images together into one giant mother image. When it is done each pixel covers about one foot of ground. We then put that image in stock and sell pieces of it for years to come.

G,

I lived in Boston for 7 years. September is still nice. The leaves are starting to turn color by then, but it's usually still warm enough to get by with a light jacket/sweater. Boston is a fantastic town to visit. (I hated living there, though, but that's just me.) Lots of stuff to do in town, which has a tremendous amount of character.

I still go back every year, as my in-laws live there (Cape Cod). We usually go during the summer, though last year I think we visited 3 times.

Evening guys. I scored a Stevens .22 rifle today for the even trade of a wrench.
