My Photos...

[dalej]

Hey just though there should be a place to view photos that POG members take (not made up in photoshop) when your out and about in this Great country!

I'll start off by showing one that I took of our coach right after a quick rain. We were staying at The Islander RV Park in Lake Havasu, Arizona in 2005. We were getting ready to go out to eat when I seen our coach with the rainbow hitting it. We were driving away, I said stop the car, then got out and took this photo.

[Jon Wehrenberg]

This was a very bad day.....

[Gary & Peggy Stevens]

Holy XXXXX Dale that Picture is PRICELESS. Not one but TWO Rainbows.:cool:


Man life doesn't get any better than that. :)

I would send some great pictures of Peg and I in our Plastic coach, but I am sure they would get censored by LEW or someone ?

COOL IDEA OF THE PHOTO PICTURE PLACE....

Hope to be able to contribute someday :(

[jello_jeep]

Nice pix all, but Jon, what the heck happened??? :confused:

[Jon Wehrenberg]

All's well that ends well.

I ran out of time in July 2004 and allowed Carrier to change out the bus air AC compressor. They left off the unloader valves and when challenged on it told me they were not necessary. We got 400 miles and the previous post shows the results.

[Jerry Winchester]

JJ.

Don't you know that all Libertys eventually burn? They are warrantied for 3 years or until destroyed by fire whichever comes first.

Life is good.

[jello_jeep]

Wow, someone musta got a smokin deal on that one!

I am looking forward to getting some good sunset shots of mine someday, I hope to pass on the crispy shots !! :rolleyes:

[rfoster]

Well, I would suppose everyone has completed their Christmas decorations. As usual we are running behind and just finished this weekend:
608

I had to move the bus around back.
Merry Christmas!

[Gary & Peggy Stevens]

These are Christmas Decorations at their finest. Be sure your sound is turned on.

Here is a photo of "Cold Nebraska Morning"

It was -8 this morning and going to get to 8 today.

ps...I shoot out the kitchen window, I'm not going out!
Is everyone else cold too? Its quiet on this forum!

[ken&ellen]

Dale, I spent 52 years in the snow and sub zero temps in foothills of the Adirondack mountains. Your pictures remind me of opening the slopes at Whiteface Mt. back in my ski patrol days. As breath taking as your pictures are and as vivid as my memories remain.........give me warmth and sunshine. Too many mornings began by snowblowing up to several feet of snow and assisting others out of the snow banks....now I go out on the porch with a cup of coffee wearing jeans and a tee shirt. Keep posting those temps and pictures lest I forget the reason I moved to the south. Ken

[BrianE]

It's a rare morning just north of Portland (OR). Not so cold at 25 but as close to a blizzard we ever get at only 250' above sea level. Also through our kitchen window where the view is usually of the neighborhood runway. Look out Dale & Jan, it's headed your way. Brrrrr! :eek:

This could be a great long running thread, assuming everybody joins in.

Here is my first one, a picture of our bus at the turnout overlooking Crater lake in Oregon last SEPTEMBER on the way to POG II. The lake is right behind the coach. The water was crystal blue like the sky, so we were told!

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

We got 13" in 8 hrs. Pictures to follow.:(

[Joe Cannarozzi]

We will spare you folks the agony thie time, besides we have no cold stuff to show:eek:.

[Petervs]

Since we were snowed in at home today I found time to upload a few examples of our travels. Here are some taken at an airfield used for forest fire fighting in summers and nothing else the rest of the year. We spent the night here, it was a perfect place.

[Ray Davis]

OK, so this isn't one of the "great" pictures of a wonderful spot. But, it was one of the fun things of POG2. Six of us were caravaning on our first day heading towards Kingman Arizona.

There were six of us running together. I believe I was #5 at this point, so if you look carefully, there's four in front there!

Now THAT was fun ...

766


OOOPS! I just realized, this was day two! We left Kingman about 75 miles back, on our way to Gallup NM that day!!

[Just Plain Jeff]

I just figured out why Liberty got us out of their parking lot so fast.

Well its way cold for Houston standards, 31 with a little sleet, but that shouldn't last for long.

This was the scene last summer in Yellowstone.

Here is a shot of my first roadtrip with A1 and then following A$$crak4U and AP Chris Yates to POG2. The Mothership was somewhere in the same zip code, but was having trouble keeping up.

[Orren Zook]

Jim,

What did you mean 'yesterday it was 53'??? Inches of snow? That's why I steer clear of the Burton - Chardon are between October and March..... When are you planning on leaving for POG III? maybe we could hook up on the way out (or back)

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

Orren, That 53* meant 53 degrees. Not inches. My keyboard does not have a degree symbol. You know though as well as I that we get too much snow here. " Lake effect".

I don't know yet when I will go to POG3. JIM :confused:

[dalej]

We are still stuck here in NE with 8 inchs of new snow this morning. Looking out our Kitchen window again as the sun was coming up around 8am.

Taken with a 70-300mm tele-photo lens on a S3 FujiFilm Digital SLR, lens set at 300 mm

Rated at 9.5 for knowledge.

What no Kodachrome 64?!? On a more serious note, did you use shutter or aperature prefered exposure?

[dalej]

Auto exposure with a ISO rating at 800.

I only use aperture priority when I need depth of field and shutter priority when I need to control the
speed of exposure for sharpness in low light or blur in high light.

Rating 9.775

ah but Orren, the Burton Maple Syrup Festival is so worth the cold temps and the snow. Easy for me to say, I am no longer in NE Ohio:D

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

Debi & Bob-OO, If you want to move back we have a nice horse farm for sale! :eek: Jim & Barb

[rmboies]

Bahahahaha, somehow I don't think the words "horse farm" and "Ohio" will be enough to convince Bob :D

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

I didn't think so but how about a drum of Maple Syrup as an incentive. :D :D

I don't blame you either OHIO isn't what it used to be! JIM

[mikedee]

We shot the same rainbow at Lake Havasu, north of the lake on AZ-95.

Not the best photo but the best colors I have ever seen.

Mike & Dee

[dalej]

As we get ready to leave home for a couple of months for a relaxing ride (Harley) down the Pacific coast in Mexico, thought I would post this photo. This is a photo of last year that always brings a smile. We were boating on the Colorado river north of Havasu City, AZ.

I will try to log on when I can, you guys be nice!

PS..she is not the Captain, I am!

[Gary & Peggy Stevens]

PS..she is not the Captain, I am!


Sure Dale, we believe you. :p

Dale I am sure you wear the pants in the family, But Jan picks them out ! :eek:


gary S

[merle&louise]

Hey Dale, if Jan is not the captain; why is she sitting at the controls?:confused:

[jello_jeep]

Here are a couple shots from yesterday and the evening before..

The first is a nice sunset over Havasu

The second and third are an early morning start of a Bass tournament. (200 boats x $3500 entrance) :)

The fourth is the Bill Williams River area on the South end of the lake

The fifth, well the sharp eyed among you will see two fishermen in the center of the pic!!

[dalej]

Nice photos Warren, all most to the point of making us want to come back to Havasu. We are going to miss boating this year though!

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

Trying to get this picture thing figured out. :) Antique power of the 60,s:D:D

[Joe Cannarozzi]

I'm trying to get the picture you put up figured out.

Looks like it is in the process of either going in or coming out but I see no chains attatched to any type of lifting device?

Magic.

[Gary & Peggy Stevens]

Hey Joe, that motor is neither going in or coming out.... Looks to me like it just goes!!!!!!

That is what a supercharged Big Block looks like sitting in a powerboat, right Jim?

[Joe Cannarozzi]

OOOOOOOOOOOOh, its in a boat, O/K.

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

Hey Joe, that motor is neither going in or coming out.... Looks to me like it just goes!!!!!!

About 600 h.p.. Trans was 1954 olds,reworked. My first attempt at anything 1962. Not too succesful, but sure a lot of fun. :D :D :eek: JIM

Great shot of a blown mouse. How many now how to tell the difference between a big block and a small block by looking at this picture? Winner get's a $40G discount on MM's mother ship. I arbitrate all answers!

John

My guess is the size or placement of the Red hose's going into the front of the block ? :confused: Did I win, what did I win ?

Gary S

[jonnie]

Sorry Gary, that one doesnot work.:(

[Jon Wehrenberg]

The four bolt hold down on the valve covers. The heads look home made unless that is a cooling jacket I am looking at.

[Kevin Erion]

I guess how wide the valve covers are, the big block has a much wider valve cover.

And I thought only Mrs. Mango and the mangoettes were good at spending my Lewbucks.

[truk4u]

Head size.....

[jonnie]

You guys are all correct, but you missed one. The location of the exhaust ports on the heads. The two center ports on the small block are almost siamesed together while big block the have a distinct seperation. Since you are all correct MM is in big trouble. Everyone gets a discount coupon. I suggest pooling the coupons and present them to Mike for a huge discount.

Got this little book of wisdom in the mail today.

http://www.foureyesjokeshop.com/ProductImages/Everything%20_men_say.jpg

It took about 2 seconds to read.

[MangoMike]

Jim,

Nice Afro! Can you wear the outfit at POGIII ;)


JDUB,

I received multiple copies of the book for my b'day.

[dalej]

While waiting for the group to assemble for the POG3 photo I snapped a few for a panorama of the park.

[dalej]

Here is a photo of the group taken at Kerrville. I will send a file to Jim so anyone can download and print their own.

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

Dale, can you post that fabulous picture so we can enlarge it more? :confused:
Thanks, JIM:)

[dalej]

It was busy in the skies this morning.

[Jerry Winchester]

We call those "Aggie Cropdusters" in Texas. I'm sure the head collie humper will wade in on this.

Here is a photo of me chatting with Joe's wife Debbie at OSH while putting up the awning.

[dalej]

We had a really nice sunrise this morning so had to share it with you.

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Here's one that might recall the past.............

[dalej]

Brings back a lot of great memories, doesn't it!

[Just Plain Jeff]

There is also the one of Jody and her dad and another guy.

[Loc]

Dale,

What an incredible picture. Is it getting better or worse?

Loc

[rfoster]

Dale and Jan: Glad to see you are not iced out of contact. The way the news presented the storm is we would not see nor hear from you till spring.:cool:

[dalej]

Loc and Roger,

It's good around here, we had 3 inches of snow. We missed the ice.

If you remember at the end of December last year, we had our ice storm. We were without power for a week. We used the bus generator to power the house.

That photo above was the result of low clouds moving in. The sun had just came up with clear skies and then there were clouds coming in from the south.

[Joe Cannarozzi]

I pictured your place flat land.

There's a few hills out in that corn field:)

Nice shot.

[truk4u]

Dale,

Makes ya kinda want to be back in Sturgis on the bike at 100 degree's.;)

And went back to bed.

[jonnie]

Mango.

Thanks for update on your bodily functions. Did you ever polish your Corian?

Merry Christmas

[truk4u]

Why didn't you pee in the bus, is the toilet valve closed?:D

[JIM CHALOUPKA]

With four females and one bathroom, a man doesn't have a chance.:rolleyes:

[MangoMike]

My Krackman Sensor Operated (KSO) camera snapped this photo whilst I was enjoying dinner with my buddies in Branson.

You have to watch your back 24/7. Especially when it comes to the head.

Jonnie, Saving that job for a rainy day.

Jim, You're right. I'm at the bottom of the food chain.


mm

... and I know I'm going to get a remark about the green stuff around the connection.

[truk4u]

My hand's not that hairy, nor is my back, but I would never have touched such a nasty corroded, mildewed infected water valve.:eek:

[dalej]

We had just went through the four corners region heading west. We were into Arizona about 4 miles
when we came onto this scene. A young truck driver decided he was headed the wrong way and
decided to turn around on a little two lane road. He got stuck when his tractor was in the sand.

We turned around and headed back about 10 miles and then took another road that went through part
of Utah to go around. The state police said no one could go around the trailer that was blocking the
road because people would get stuck in the hot sand. He couldn't get a hold of a wrecker so he told us
he didn't know how long it could be.

There were lines of cars on both sides plus trucks and Rv’s. It was 100 degrees and no one was
happy. The Rv’s and semi’s would have to back up the 4 miles on one side and about 12 on the other.

We had a good ride through Bluff Utah and then Monument Valley.

[jello_jeep]

Nice pic Dale, great shot of Monument!!

I have seen a trucker do exactly the same thing on 395 near Ridgecrest. Stuck right up to the drive axels!

[tdelorme]

Dale, you are not going to believe this, but I promise you it's the truth. My younger brother lives in Bluff, Utah. He owned a company called Wild Rivers Rafting for many years based out of Bluff and sold out a couple of years ago. He was a hippie back in the 60's and moved from Texas to Colorado and ended up doing the river rafting deal. Never had a real job in his whole life and stayed in Bluff because he is the resident expert on the Anasazi Indians and city folks pay him to show them the Indian sights and tell um all about the Anasazis, most of which he has made up over the years.
I like that country and make a point to get out there every twenty years or so. ;)

[dale farley]

Very nice photo Dale. The road definitely draws your eye to the monument.

[Jon Wehrenberg]

Todays flight started out miserable as you can see from the standing water on the ramp just before i pulled out the plane.

But by the time I came out of Chattanooga with my load of pups and got on top the weather was fine.

[dalej]

Jon, what was your mission today?

[Jon Wehrenberg]

I took one beagle mix pup to Clarksburg WV and five other pups (including 2 newborns) to Jamestown NY. All came from a high kill animal shelter in Chatooga County GA. We loaded them in Chattanooga TN.

[Journeyone144]

I know the post is two years old but it was also just two weeks before Christmas...and just before you joined POG....and I just stumbled on it...so

I just had to ask...???

Hugs Always Viv...



This was a very bad day.....

[dalej]

I couldn't help but take a photo of the full moon tonight. We had a front move through and the moon looked like a sun rise. The clouds had a rim light that caught my eye, I waited until the moon was showing to take it.

[dale farley]

Nice shot Dale. At first, I thought the moon was rising over a mountain, but then I realized; "mountains in Nebraska?" Not!!! Nice silver linings to the clouds.

[Joe Cannarozzi]

Dale a very rare photo indeed because I have grown to learn first hand very few clouds have silver linings anymore:o
