My windows 10 machine is on it's way out. I purchased a new Dell inspiration 16 plus from Costco. I did not do the usual research mut I have shipped hundreds of Dell Servers and laptops as part of recording systems for use in Seismic acquisition.
I am very disappointed with Dell.
1. No disk access light. Cannot tell what's going on.
2. Poor cooling design.
3. No real power switch. Have to drag a shade down with the touch pad to power the darn thing down. Can not even remove the battery.
4. Flakey touch panel. Builds up static charge and quits working. Others on line identified the problem as missing ground. This after Dell failed to fix the darn things. Finally dell made changes. Of course I am on the road on an RV trip while these is happening.
Contacted Dell and took weeks for the part to ship. I got notice I had only five days to use the part or I would have to get in line again. I had to cut my trip short and drove 100 miles to make it back to the farm to meet up with the tech to install the new part.
The part seems to work so far. Still working to transfer photos an. Adobe.
Very nice images.
My comment is Bang!
Sorry I could not help I was a Dove Hunter before I got involved in Photography. 🙂
I hope you like hauling hay. I have a photo of my little sister on a horse at that age. I spent 15 years hauling hay, building horse barns, building fence etc. Supporting the horse pox.😉
Oh bother. I still regret upgrading from windows 7 to 10. I hate the updates. I am on Hugesnet and Windows 10 updates use up me data allowance costing big bucks.🤬
In the early days all pickups or at least most had gas tanks behind the driver's seat. Dad's 62 Ford was like that. He had a newer Chevy with one and I had a 76 ford with one behind the seat and another behind the bed. Valve in the cab selected which one to use.
I am a EE that worked in the Seismic Equipment industry. We were making some of the first single channel seismic recording systems.
They were powered by lithium battery packs. The first few years we had many fires. The fire alarm would go off all 1600 employees would exit the building and wait for the fire department to come and verify it was safe to go back in.
Never got out of control due to precautions. She eventual solution was an electronic ckt in each battery cell that monitored the temperature of every cell. Any rise in temperature or current and a fuse would blow and disable that cell.
Tested these in on old abandoned water tower on the property. Blew up many batteries until we made it fool proof.
Eventually no battery fires. Some battery packs were huge having maybe 100 cells.
When I retired we were making 20 of 30 thousand at a time no fires.
Never heard it in Texas. But I am only 68 unlike some of you Guys. :-}
I drove a road like that in the states with my 4x4 pickup with a cab over camper mounted. My dad was navigating to see his army buddy in Provo Utah. Even had to ford the river. One way traffic the other lane was on the other side of the Mountain. Road finally got better and there was a sign stating that you should not travel the road without two 4x4 vehicles one of which should have a winch. My truck had a winch so I was almost as advised.

Another fine set! Like the A/C on #6. Wonder if that was an option or scavenged off an Estate Wagon for the project.
Me thinks that is a swamp cooler. We had one growing up.
I have been trapping them and releasing them in a seculated spot in the river bottom.
Reminds me when I was 20 working for a big commercial print shop. That year we printed playboy magazine.
Owls love kittens and small cats. We had a ferrel cat colony down the road from us. I saw Owls pick up kittens many times during the walk.
