UPDATE 2/17/2022 !!

It's been a long time coming, but I think I'll try "Updating" my Blog, eh!! I just turned 82, February 10th, and haven't been doing any Web Page Designing for years, as I could NOT find anyone interested. Plus have had a lot of happenings over the years, so just kind of gave up on Web Designing and such!!

I LOVE Old Cars, so Ill be sharing some as I go along with Updating My Blog!!

I've been doing pretty good health-wise as I keep Praying to God to keep me in Good Health, so that I can take care of my wife, Kathy, who isn't in Good Health!!  Kind of Selfish I know, but so far it's been working for years!!  ;-)

I gave up driving a few years ago, but luckily my son, Randy and his wife Stacey moved back here to Weaverville about 4 years ago, after living in NH for like 30 years.  So he goes gets our Groceries, take our Trash to the local Dump, picks up our Meds as needed from our local CVS, and so much more.  Like he's been 'Falling' Trees on our 20 acres so we'll both have Firewood over Winter Time!!

Since I have 2 Mobile Homes, one that Kathy and I live in and one that my Dad/Mom lived in till passing years ago, Randy & Stacey live in that one, and that's very convenient having them right next door, so to speak!!

I use to have a 1931 5-Window Coupe many, many year ago and it was a badly painted Black, but I drove it about 3.5 miles from my home to work and back every day and never had a problem!!  The only 'update' it had was a 12-volt battery and generator!!  I kept thinking I'd fix it up to look like the photo, but ending up selling it for $50!!  Today I wish that I had kept each car that I've owned, but then again that wouldn't work, as I sold or traded them to 'upgrade' to a newer one, right!! 

Like a 1955 Red/White Ford Crown Victoria, later on a 1956 Black Ford Thunder Bird, then a Brand Spanking NEW 1960 Red 2-Door Ford Starliner Coupe!!  Many years later, I purchased a 1972 Red/Silver Ford Ranchero, which I gave to my son Randy and after not seeing it or him for 30+ years, he has moved back home and still has 'our Ranch' as we call it today!! It still runs but needs a lot of work and a new paint job, before putting it back on the road, eh!!  

Ahh, what such great memories!! When I Win the Lottery, I plan on buying 1 each of my old cars. eh!! ;-)

Annual Quilt Show 2010

Hi Everyone, Today I'm sharing over 150 photos that I took at our Annual Quilt Show of 2010. Please note that there are a few 'panorama' type photos that a really to wide for viewing within your monitor. To view the complete 'pano' you need to 'save' that photo, then view it 100% using what ever normal graphics program you use. Then scroll from left to right, eh!! '-)) Also, remember that you have the availability to change the way you view my slide show, by just going to the menu, view, then selecting another view that suits you better. So go and enjoy!!

BUY ME!! '-)) Beautiful Big Dog Custom Motorcycle

Hi Everyone, This post is a bit different from my 'normal', as I'm trying to SELL a Big Dog Custom Motorcycle to make myself a commission for my work in taking/editing the pictures, setting them up in a slide show, then advertising it via my own web site, my Blog and Facebook pages too. So if you know of anyone that may be looking for that 'special' ride for this summer, PLEASE pass on this information, eh!! ;-))

Back again, eh!!

I know it's been longer than usual for a new update, but a lot of different have been happening including unusual Spring Snows, my Primary Camera died about the first of the month and I'm waiting for Olympus to tell me when the repairs are done. Then when I finally starting building my slide show album early this morning, I got to the point of uploading it to my web site, and the software froze up on me. When I tried redoing the 'Misc' section with all of my comments that I added, the folder was empty!! So I 'took 5' and tried later this afternoon and finally got it uploaded, BUT without all of the comments. Just look at the file names and that should give you an idea of what my comments may have said, eh!! Remember, there are FOUR different slide shows, so be sure to look under 'Album' and view one or all. '-)) For all of us Custom Car lovers, you gotta check out custom paint job as shown on the Truck above in the 'Misc' slide show!!

Clouds, Blue Sky, Snowy & Rainy Days, Mossy Trees, Rocks & Ground, Creek Runoff

Hi Everyone,

I know it's been a long time since my last update, but 'things' just kept getting in the way. Like you don't have that same problem, eh!! But I finally started getting all my photos together a couple of days ago, finished up about 3:30 am this morning and have spent the past couple of hours this afternoon getting the Multiple Albums uploaded to my web site, so I'm already to post now and then maybe I'll do a faster job come March, eh!! ;-))

To any new people just tuning in, JAlbum is what I use to make my slide shows and it allows me to add more than just one album to it, so you can pick and choose what sounds of interest to you, just by clicking on 'Album' up on the top left hand corner.

'Paused' is one of my collection of photos that I take when we pause a tv program so we can go to the toilet, get something to eat or drink, and see what I think is a funny, different or interesting shot.

'GACBugle' is a newsletter from our local Senior Citizens Center and have a variety of useful information, jokes, what's happening, etc.

'Misc' is mostly my own photos of all kinds of shots, but can also include other photos that I found on the Internet or of friends. Since it's been almost 2 full months for this latest update, I labeled them 'Jan' and 'Feb' so you wouldn't have to look at the total all in one, eh!!

'Trinity Journal' is our local newspaper and when ever I see something that I think may appeal to others I scan same and include the article. I normally include 'Senior View' since I've know Barbara Tavola for over 33+ years and she usually writes an interesting article and same with 'GAC News' for the Golden Age Senior Center. So I hope your check out each individual slide show and enjoy my photos, eh!!

First Snow of the Season, Custom Bikes, SUV, Foggy Shots of Sunshine thru Trees, Fall Colors, "Paused" Shots

Hi Everyone,

I just updated my Blog with a variety of pictures, as I didn't want to take the time to separate them into 5 or 6 individual slide shows as I have done sometimes. You'll get to see the 1st snow of the season on The Trinity Alps, plus the 1st snow of the season at our level too at about 2,800'. I've also added a couple videos that I took off the tv and I think you'll enjoy too. Just give them plenty of time to download and start, unless you have hi-speed/cable type of a connection.
