I'll FRmail you the web address...

Great!

The good folks on FR far out number the "Axis of Whining Weasels" !!

Dittos that!

Say, don't you work...you're always right on top of the conversation here...?? :o) LOL! yes, I 'work'. Although some may not think much of my 'job'.

I'm an artist and photographer. I do 'shoots' when I feel like it and the same with 'painting'. I have my studio in my home. Had one outside my home but shut it down. Long story.

I'm printing out pics I took as I do FR...

What kind of pics?

I forgot to say something about your Vette, I had a '54 Vette, also a '56 Austin Healey LeMans and a '60 Lotus Super Seven.

Wow! neat cars! My mother and dad gave me mine for graduation from HS. It was older but in cherry condition. Still is.

That's all the sports cars I've owned, I had them in (58 to 62) between my 20+ motorcycles...

Geez! Twenty? I had one....and not for too long. LOL

Hey, blackie, I have to split for a bit. Talk to you later. Bet we do bump this thread to a thou. LOL!

That's great and doing it home too, perfect!!.
I'm no artist and an average photo taker, even though I've had some pretty good SLR camera's over the years and have taken many rolls of film for prints as well as slides...

In the 80's I got into video cameras and have changed from VHS, to 8mm to digital mini tape, all the while still taking 35mm pics. I've just recently purchased a Nikon Coolpix 2500 digital camera, for better still pics.
Capturing them off of the camcorder digital mini tape didn't produce a very good product, the Coolpix fixed that.

"What kind of pics?"

Pics I've recently taken with Coolpix camera, I'm using a HP 710 OfficeJet, I'm going to give it to my wife because there are no drivers available for her old HP 660c in WinXP.
I'm getting one of those HP OfficeJet OJD145xi from Costco tomorrow.

Great graduation present !!
Ya can't beat a "cherry" condition... !!
What size engine and what kinda tranny does it have?

"Geez! Twenty? I had one....and not for too long. LOL"

Yep, I got my first(a Harley) one in 1949 and my second Harley in '53 during my second marriage.
Got divorced in '58, I took over the payments on my best friends '54 Vette, because he said he couldn't support my (he moved in with her) wife and make payments on the Vette...he got the wife and a rented house, I got the Vette and his old apartment...best damn swap I ever made... :o)
I totaled the Vette in '59 and bought the Healey, I wrecked it in '60 and while it was being repaired I bought the Lotus and had them both until late '62...
I got married again in '63 and was sports car less and bike less until '65 when I started riding bikes again.
I did buy a new Chevy Corvair Monza Turbo Spyder in '64 and had it for many years.
I still ride bike, I did stop riding dirt bike in '83 though...sigh...

I've had several performance cars including the before mentioned Corvair Spyder: a '34 Ford three window, chopped and channeled coupe with a full load 3/8"by3/8" stroked 59A flathead...a '50 Olds two door fastback with a '54 J2 performance engine...a '79 Turbo Capri, a '82 Z-28 four speed Camaro and currently this '01 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning:
