Thinking? UH-OH!

Thinking is always a dangerous thing, not this time though, I was thinking about taking a road trip on the motorcycle! there is a covered bridge only 15 miles away and I would like to get some pictures and background for it.

I haven't been to the bridge in eyars now and I'd really like to get some nice pictures of it, I'll have to see how the day goes!
The new/old drive I started usaing in the desktop is performing quite nicely thankyou, the computer is FAR faster than it had been for a long time. I'm not sure exactly what was going out in the drive, but I know this one works much better.

Time for another cup of coffee!
Later all!

Computer issues resolved!

My desktop computer is near seven years old now, it was the first one I built myself, I guess that's why I still have the old thing! In the last few months it had slowed down quite badly, not a mal-ware issue, the hard drive was starting to give out. Today I broke down and changed the hard drive and reinstalled everything, the desktop is amazingly faster! CRIMANY! it is a nice way to surf now!
I had slip-streamed service pack three onto my installation disk so I would be ready for the "plunge" it only took about three hours or so to completely reinstall my programs, the only program left is E-sword, that is a BIGGIE! it takes about an hour to install all of the modules if you do the full install, but it is worth the effort, the program is awesome!
I'm sure I will find those small but needed programs that have yet to be needed, but that will come soon I'm sure.
Next Monday my fall classes start, I am SO looking forward to getting back to GRCC, I need the input, my brain needs it more! almost there.
Later all!

Last minute ride and the question?

My brother and I went on a last minute ride today, the main point of the ride was to see the Weber dam, I hadn't been there in so long I could not remember the last time. It certainly was a nice ride there, but once we arrived we found ourselves on the hold side and not the spill side, that's where I wanted to be. After an hour (we made a couple of stops along the way) we arrived at the spill side, a much better picture was waiting!

On the way to the other side of the dam we came upon this AWESOME view, the picture does NOT do it justice! Four feet from the guard rail there was a near vertical 45 to 55 foot drop, SOOoo nice a view!

I HAD to stop and get a picture of this farms fences, the whole fence is comprised of old metal wagon wheels, some people may think this is just junk, I think it is art, so beautiful! the thought that went into its building? the structure flows down the road. I bet there are a thousand wagon wheels here, wonder how long it took to build?

I wonder what this was in its day? a mom and pop store? a place to sell things from the garden? either way it looked like a time capsule to me, I know one thing fro sure, from now on if I am traveling the back roads I will be bringing my camera!
My brother and I also stopped at a roadside park in Lyons, something point? a very cool little park that would be a nice place for a summer picnic!
And here is the question???? Does anyone remember Dick Evans and his on the road segment on TV8? I thought that was the COOLEST five minutes they had, after he passed they did away with that segment totally! I want to see it back in a year! I WANT to do it! what do you think? sound like a good idea to anyone?
I should head off for now, there are still a couple of things to get done yet before I go to bed, and WOO-HOO! a low of 56 tonight!
Later all!
