Here's what i'm doing, besides taking a break and drinking a beer now- i've posted examples before, but anyhow, here we see in this first photo a tiny little section of this Ford van. That's how big it is on the computer screen, untouched, straight from the camera. You have to shift the picture up and down and back and forth to see everything. Then when I reduce the size to where the whole picture fits the computer screen, you get this. Then I can see what I want to do, get an idea what to crop if anything, maybe take a light pole out. Sometimes it's more hassle than it's worth to try to get rid of a pole, but sometimes it's easy. I just copied and pasted sections of the grass between the van and the pickup when the picture was full size, that way it's barely noticable when the size is reduced. That's why in the "finished product" you don't see any of that pickup directly under the yellow trash can. Then i'll end up with something like this- But I enjoy doing it anyway, it's actually kind of fun. And i'll do that for every picture, all 206 of them. Some are simply just smallerizing and cropping, so it doesn't take long. So if somebody like, say, 1958FWD is walking by waving when i'm about to take a picture I just think "keep walking you jackass, two more steps and I can crop you right out of the picture". 😆

oh, I didn't know that. I'm sure I still have pictures there though.

I'm in Lynchburg now, at Ortho Va. waiting in the car with the dogs. I brought Zina from Gladys up here for her follow-up appointment. She had an MRI here last week because she tripped over a dog and fell and hurt her back. I'll get back to pictures when I get home. I need to cut a tree down, move a section of fence, and strain the wine too.

I'm working on the truck show pictures, I'll post a link when I'm finished and put them on Flickr, or wherever it is I put my pictures. I heard somebody mention Photobucket the other day, I used to have pictures there. I guess I still do, if it's still a thing, but I don't know what my password is. I have to pay for Flickr now anyway, so that's why I use that. Seems to be OK though.

I'm out of likes, so-

We need this. Here's some girl over at Super Dollar in Winfall.

Nice seeing you again, and "facts is facts".

oh...well that doesn't look like a separate engine now. Maybe my clutch is slipping a little bit.

yep, that's all.

They had a little old Jeep there that I walked by in front of several times. I didn't notice until I walked behind it that it had a 3 point hitch attachment on it, then I noticed a separate engine in the back. I was wondering what that was for when I noticed the PTO shaft. I'm kinda slow sometimes. The engine in back was for the PTO. I doubt if you could bale hay or run a combine with it, but a little sickle bar mower or a 4' bush hog would probably be doable. I've got pictures of it on the camera. I always say "I'm not taking many pictures this time, I've seen most of this stuff before anyway". I just looked, 206 pictures on the camera.

He's taking those trucks to Amarillo.

L. to R, Farmer52, HarryS, fuzzy buzzard, other dog.

The best looking B model at the show.

I'll keep an eye out for one.

Sorry Grand Ma, I was trying to duplicate the original picture as exact as possible. It was hard to do. I was talking to Jim Moore and he said it wasn't even me in the first picture, because that guy had dark hair, and plenty of it. And that old dude with the gray hair, what's left of it, looks like he's trying to smuggle a basketball in.

This one's just kinda big- MH Fred, farmer52, and other dog.

These are mighty big too.

A couple of BMT members' trucks, farmer52 and Underdog. Just saw fuzzy buzzard roll in.

Couple more pictures. I took them both with the phone, one's mighty big, taking forever to download. I don't understand how that works. This one's just kinda big.

Well, we're at the truck show in Winchester. Not many trucks here yet.

We're at the Tri State ATHS Show in beautiful Clearbrook, Va. Show's today, tomorrow, and Saturday so there's not much going on yet.

That's what mines was, had a 152 in it- half of a 304. The previous owner had it bored .060 over though. I had more fun in that one than any of the rest of them.

I had a few Scouts, a 64, a 66, and a 71 and 73 Scout II. This was a 71 or 73 that I used to mud race with, it had a Chevrolet engine and transmission. The other 71 or 73 had the original 345 engine in it, it was all stock and we just went trail riding through the woods and local logging roads with it. I don't remember which one was which, just that one was a 71 and the other a 73.
