Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
You live in southern California. You know those sticker weeds grow everywhere! That's what we called what some people call "goatheads". I was four and my younger brother was three, and we were to stay out of the back yard because of those stickers. Of course, we were chasing each other around, and ran out back, into the sticker patch. There we were, crying our eyes out, trying to pick our feet up and not succeeding! My dad came out and carried us both into the house with dozens of those stickers in our foot soles! :lol:

Oh yeah goatheads. That brings up so many memories. Between picking them off your feet after walking barefoot in the garden, and getting hundreds of them in your bike tires. Tough little boogers.

Oh boy do I remember those things. Nasty little suckers. They grew all over the place. We got them in the planters when I was a kid and my dad would make me go and yank them out. They didn't come out easy They had strong roots and I got jabbed every time.
I hated those and stinkbugs. We had both. Stinkbugs were like a miniature skunk. Sticking their rear end up and blasting away. Even if you smashed one it still smelled awful. |

Went to the "Great Western Steam Up" in Carson City today. Great time, great weather and lots of smiling people.

That Model T rail car is too cool. And you never have to worry about buying tires.

Paul's interest in air-cooled VWs got me to digging for pictures. Want to see some crappy pictures? No? Ok, have a look! :lol:
The '56 Bug I had through HS. I had stashed it in the barn on my folks' place while I was living on CA. I had the chrome Porsche wheels but the tires rotted up and when I got new tires I discovered one wheel was messed up, so grabbed the star spoke for cheap. Not the look I wanted, but it looked alright I guess. It was still a blast to drive! Attachment 2202977 Attachment 2202978 Attachment 2202980 The '66 Bus I had made into my camper I sold to my gal. She got run off the road coming home from the beach. I found a '63 Kombi that had camper windows to restore and put all the goodies in it. This is about as far as I got when she broke up with me. I remember saying, "But I haven't finished the bus, yet" :lol: The '66 picture was taken at a weekend bull roast field party. |

Cleaning out my little shop hoping to have enough room in there to easily move about this fall and winter. Down to 18 boxes of magazines (99% car) ranging from the 40’s through early 70’s. Water stain was on the box pre stuffing with mags.Winter project to scan what I want and then probably toss.

I zoomed in 3.5x to get a good picture. I didn't want to get near it. It flew in to one of the bays at work, landed on overhead door. Not of fan of this one.
for size |
Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
It must have sounded like a helicopter when it flew in.
That thing looks like trouble. |
Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
All you have to do to avoid trouble with it is not be a tarantula. Nobody here is a tarantula, right? Better keep those bushy eyebrows trimmed! :lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I don't like tarantulas or tarantula wasps but I to like Tito and the Tarantulas

I don't know about that nasty snarlygaster wasp being harmless to humans. We don't have those, either, so I looked them up. Effecys from their sting are: - Abnormal swelling of face, lips, and throat - Red bumps and itching on other parts of the body - Respiratory issues - Dizziness - Hypotension I'll make sure I get my eyebrows trimmed before coming out that way! |

Last time I got stung by a bee, my hand swelled up like a balloon. I couldn't even bend my fingers. I'd hate to see what that wasp would do.

Cool pics Tim. I can't help but wonder what marina gas prices are these days.
|
Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That's what I was thinking looking at the boats. What would it cost to run around in the big blue boat all day? Or any boat for that matter. I always said I'm fine with letting others buy the boat, I'll buy the gas. I'm keeping my mouth shut now!
