Misc Grab Bag of Stuff !!

Hi Everyone, .... see all my pictures here ....

Today I have a ton of different stuff for everyone. More Fall Colors from our trip into Redding on the 20th, some interesting Cloud and Moon shots. Some sexy shots especially for new ebuddy Ron Steves!! ;-)) A very old shot of me, Stacy Maness & Johnnie Brinson from way back in 1976!! A lot of misc pictures that I ran across while searching for some Christmas Toy Pictures for Barbara Maness. Some custom car and bike shots, hi-boys, etc, for us 'hot rodders'. A few Linux/Geek pictures for my son Randy!! ;-)) A upside-down plane picture to remind Stacy Maness to keep his bike AND plane RIGHT-SIDE UP, eh!! ;-0

Lastly, the 'avi' file is really huge (49 mb's), so I'd say just skip this one unless you have cable/hi-speed connection OR if you just want to hear me bitch about almost getting run over by a downhill semi pulling a 'low-boy' trailer, hauling a big, heavy, over-width piece of equipment like a CAT!! He did have red wide-load flags on the trailer, BUT he had NO pilot car going ahead of him to warn people!! Luckily, I was only going about 20 mph coming up to this very sharp AND blind corner at the edge of our property and was able to pull into a small turn out area quickly, because we heard him hits his brakes as they were really squealing, but he could never have come to a full stop till he hit us and pushed us backwards a couple hundred feet OR over the hill side!!! So to vent I made a little video that I can show anyone on the town council, CHP, DMV, Road Dept, etc, and ask them in person why it's been over 31 years in just talking about straightening this nasty curve and still have done NOTHING other than send me a form to sign every couple of years, giving them the right to work on my property!! The last time I filled out this form a year ago, I stated that they better keep this form in their files for the future, as I will NOT ever sign it again, as it seems to be a waste of my time & energy, eh!!

Later, 'Viper'

P.S. ~ The 'slide show' is the various pictures that I took of where this semi had to go off the road way to even make this sharp turn and how the various drivers make this turn with a low-boy is when coming down Oregon Street, they drive off the right side as far as possible climbing the hill a bit and when the back wheels/tires of the trailer start dropping off the left side into the canyon/culvert, they just power the semi to pull it back up onto the roadway and that's about the time I came around the bottom and meet him taking up the whole lane!!! ;-0
