I have had my car out in the rain once. Then tried the next day when it was cloudy but mostly dry. Still got some sprinkles.

There are lots of gaps and holes in the car that let water and air in. We don't have side windows installed and we don't have windshield wipers installed. We also have those Advan A048 tires.

My tires are just about bald. The drive home was careful driving. We can autocross in the rain, but the timing equipment does not fare well in rain. The corner workers don't like it. I don't like getting my leather seats wet. And hail and lighting are just bad pookie.

Welp mowed the grass, I am thinking of fertilizing it with round up. I rotated the tires on Peggy, I will get the summer out of them but they are done for. I found I also need front brakes, and have two broken exhaust hangers. As hard as I am on that old truck I can't complain, she will fire right up and go. She just may have issues stopping if I don't fix that quick.

The first shot and the last shot are the same line up. That was down at the Dragon, just below the damn in Fontanna

Howdy, Rick. Yep old vehicles are cheaper, but need lots of work to keep working.

Naw that is just how she sleeps from time to time. She will lay on the back of the couch and put her paw on my shoulder like that.
Good thing I am the one person she doesn't want to kill. Panzer hates every body and every thing but me.

The leaf on the paper is there so that the camera would focus. I could not get the manual focus dialed in either. It is not an SLR.

Then I noticed that nature was providing a bunch of pin-hole lenses too.
