21st Annual Car Show In The Park

Hi Everyone,

We went to the local Car Show on Saturday and Lourie / Jay and Sherri / Tom came up from Redding to meet us at the show. While they and Kathy were looking, setting & talking for a couple of hours, I was out with my tripod/camera taking shots, eh!! '-)) Probably more than 50% were missing, because Hwy #299 West out of Big Bar was closed coming on into Weaverville because of the wildfires still a burning up here. And we get a lot of rods coming in from the coast around Arcata, Eureka, etc!! But as you see we did have a very good showing of rods anyway.

Since 'Viper' is still dead and I've been using Kathy's computer, I had a hell of a time doing my normal editing of pictures like this and making them into a slide show. So I downloaded a copy of JAlbum and FireFTP to her computer and just dealt with having to setup everything from scratch again. But in doing so I found a newer/better slide show program, so I'm trying it out on you all, ok!! Please let me know if you like it, hate it or have any good or bad words and suggestions, because I 'hide' a lot of the functions to make it LOOK and ACT as simply as possible for you all, eh!! '-)) Email Me, eh!!

BTW, this slide show program is set up with a 'merchant account', if you'd have any use for that to sell items on the Internet and use pictures to show the product. Even has a music feature too!! Hear that Ran?? '-))

One thing I'll STRONGLY suggest is to click on the following link to start the slide show and then pause/stop it and run your mouse over the various buttons and you'll see a pop-up of just what they all do, ok!! Then go ahead and watch it either automatically using the slide show OR by clicking on the forward/back buttons ... your choice!! Another thing too, IF you'd like to see larger pictures in the 'main' window, use the 'FULL SCREEN' feature towards the bottom left side, just above the 'thumbnails' OR just hit the 'F11' key on your keyboard for an almost full screen view. Here's the link: Car Show Slide Show

Hope you all enjoy looking at all the cars, as much as I did, eh!! '-)) FYI ... I did NO editing of these pictures other than reduce the sizes about 75% so they would load faster. Should any of you want to print out one or more of the shots, just let me know the 'file' name and I'll email you the 'original' 2816x2120 pixels size picture, ok!! Also, since it was really smoky Saturday from the wildfires still burning in our area, you'll notice a brownish/yellowish 'haze' in all the pictures.

Sorry, but not having Viper running right now, that was even more work that I did NOT want to do using Kathy's computer. But don't get me wrong, I'm so happy to have a 2nd computer in our house to fall back on and a very sweet wife that let me us it too. Thanks, Hon!! ;-))

Later, Viper
