Cool Pix Thread

[NQ6U]

I think we need a thread for nothing but cool images. Not funny or weird, just cool. Let's keep it free of politics,

Why aren't you out in the garage putting rings on your pistons?

Have I ever mentioned I like it better when you're in Minnesota?

I never said I picked the wrong week to quit, it's just harder to find the original stuff. The new stuff ruins the sock.

Today we were messing with upper and lower ball joints. Rented a tool (that I now own) to remove them. Needless to say, ("Ball joints - +1, Me -$117.00"). The little BASTIDS. We tried everything from talking nice to the one SOB ball joint that held out, to a 20 ton press. IT FSCKING WON. Dynamite tomorrow.


It's cold here but I'd be freezing my nuts off in Minnesota.

I know the drill. There are instances where my time is worth more than my money. I have found ball joints and other front end work to be one of those instances. By the time you rent the special tools (requires at least two trips to get what you need, and usually several more for the tools you forgot or didn't realize you needed) or buy the specialty tools, and fight with the damn things, I just go to this guy who does superior front end work and especially alignments, (which I have to take to him anyway) and pay him to do it. By the time you total up both scenarios, I have found (for me anyway) that it's been way more cost effective to let Gary do that part while I devote my time and other resources to doing other stuff that needs to be done on the car/truck. Besides, from where I live, it's a pretty far piece to get to any kind of real auto parts store.

Oh yeah, this picture was taken at a KOA in western Michigan.

[KG4CGC]

Roof standing. If that genetic?

Nope... Actually my sister in law was trying to get everyone together for a picture. It took her a few minutes to figure out where my step son and I went.

I was just curious as there are a bunch (that's a lot more than a skosh) of tour posts with no text in the post. I'm not trying to get familiar with you (like Bob does) just wondering......

On edit, I see what happened. I was too fast on the trigger. The posts missing text had photos in them, and I didn't stand still long enough for the to load.

Sorry. Disregard. Didn't mean to trouble you with all the above tripe. Carry on, as you were.......

No, but that sounds like something that would interest Bob. He has lots of butter (and lube). BYOB Bring Your Own Butter.

Static electricity discharge ionizing nitrogen atoms in the upper atmosphere. They were only discovered to exist about 25 years ago.

I was out near Edward's neck of the woods. I think I'll move next door to him.

He's probably like it better if you moved to Minnesota. But, hell, you were only six hours away from SD—why didn't you stop by for a drink?

[NA4BH]

I did and almost drowned swimming out to your boat.

Anyone one know about the rock game on Facebook? You paint and hide river rocks in your community. Each county, city, (however your locale is set up) can start a Facebook page dedicated to the group. People interested may join and either paint rocks and post pictures of them and leave clues to hiding places or you can hunt rocks based on clues and you may either keep the rock or hide it yourself.

I've done a few. Here's one.15403

Don't use Photobucket anymore. They have been ransoming images

http://nypost.com/2017/07/05/how-photobucket-is-now-shaking-down-its-users/


Photobucket, an image and video hosting website founded in 2003, quietly changed its policy late last month to prevent users from hosting their content on third-party websites unless they pay a $400 annual fee.Members who used the previously free service to store their content for use on auction sites, blogs, and internet forums have discovered their images replaced with a message asking them to “update your account.”
No warning was given, but the company posted a brief blog post (http://blog.photobucket.com/update-terms-service/) on June 26 announcing an “update to our terms of service,” with the change buried towards the end of the article.

I use Imgur myself.
