Atomic Clocks - Bye, Bye!

I have this HP41 calculator .......

You just dated yourself. I remember at TRW, guys with a HP41CV would get into a one-upmanship game by seeing who could get the most memory modules stacked up on theirs. I was an outlaw. I had a TI59 with the desktop printer.

I only have one stand alone clock anymore and it is the only one I need to adjust.
It is difficult for most to read. A few of you on UHH will have no problem, many will be clueless.

Customized 1948 Cadillac 62 Sedanette

I really liked these GM fastbacks, especially the Caddies and Buicks. I wish the trunk lid had been down, but this was at a car show, so...

I did some Photoshopping on this to remove distractions, but there is a very high mesh fence-like thing that is behind the car. It is impossible to get it out, so don't let it bother you too much.

I always loved this style. We had a 1949 for many years that my dad dearly loved.

4 race cars I've never known about

It's good to hear from you. From what little info I could gather, I doubt that any of it was based around the TR-3. I'll see if I can gat further info about it.

The pix just ignited an old memory. The similarity was just the lines of the side profile.

4 race cars I've never known about

[quote=black mamba]Again, great shots of almost forgotten history.

..... Picture 2 - 1950 Nardi 1100 Sport. Built by Nardi with Motto coachwork.

Picture 3 sure reminds me of a Triumph TR-3. I wonder if that was the foundation?

Logistics Shipping Advise Needed

tiphareth51 wrote:

BBurns, that sounds like sound advise. UPS is preferred over Fed Ex so I will go talk to them. I have 3 SKB cases so it will be costly. What lind of 'band' are you referring to? Thank you.

You should lock the cases. Highly recommended.
Banding is an extra step to insure integrity throughout the journey. Banding like that used on crates and pallets. Ask if they can do it for you.

Death Valley after the Rains

ken_stern wrote:

About a week or so ago we visited the Valley in hopes of viewing the Wild Flowers - Not This Year - The in-the-know locals told us that without rain in December no blooms. However, with lots of rain in Jan/Feb & some in March, We did get to see lots of very green Sage Brush & Death Valleys brand new for this year's lake
I hope you enjoy viewing the photos half as much as I did taking them.

All great shots.

Been there many times for the bloom over the years.
It is always a crap shoot but I've determined over the years that the best time to go is the last weekend in March.
Past the first weekend in April, it is too hot and the flowers are gone.

Here is my post from a 2015 trip: Annual Death Valley Sojourn

Logistics Shipping Advise Needed

My entire photograpy inventory needs to be moved. ... (show quote)

I know exactly where you are. I'm guessing you are coming back of Greely or Eielson.
I handled shipping logistics to & from Ft. Greely in 2003 to down below.
Photograph every item and record its serial number for insurance purposes.
Band the cases and ship them to your destination via Fedex or UPS.
At the time we used Fedex exclusively with no problems.
Yes, it may be expensive but your gear will arrive intact.
One less thing you need to worry about.

You can coordinate delivery times to accommodate the recipient.
Definitely require a signature so it is not left unattended on a porch.

Good Luck
