Random Object Photographs

In 2013 My Wife and I trailered our 1947 Willys Jeep to a friends ranch in Colorado (just at the base of Mt Princeton) We were joined by ~ 25 other vintage jeeps, 1953 being the newest. There is an online forum called The CJ-2A Page, where we all traded information trying to get all the details correct. The restoration took me 2 years, but my fake hips won't let me drive it much (no seat adjustment, short of plasma cutting the floor pan, ain't gonna do that) one of these days I'll bring myself to sell it (and it's matching Bantam trailer).;

There were a swarm of these things in a small bay on the east coast. They were less then a quarter inch long.

I ran across this little fella while hiking in southern Ohio.
 
Granny always said she wanted me to have her hi-standard sentinel nightstand pistol...I dug and transplanted her old timey flowers while I was at it. :)

Out and About

Out with a friend last night...eating, drinking, and wandering around a popular arts-bar-brewery-bar district known as Plaza-Midwood.

This was a little single-bay filling station back in the sixties...and probably before. Can't remember the brand of gas. Decent pizza, and you can get it by the slice.

Foggy Fireworks

The fog started rolling in Wednesday night, just as the fireworks show was getting started. We're about a half-mile from the festivities, and that's as close as I like to be, considering the beach has about twenty thousand people, and most of those people have no common sense about fireworks. It usually looks like a war zone! I took these photos from our deck:

I remember as a kid during the late 1940s in Phoenix, viewing the fireworks put up at the state fairgrounds, but not from the viewing stands. My mom and dad and I went over to nearby Encanto Park to see the display from there. This went well -

Until the groundskeepers turned on all the sprinklers in the park. :mad:

Sic semper cheapskates...
