Nine dual tired axles plus the heavy duty front axle makes this rig capable of hauling in excess 180,000 pounds combined truck and load weight. The blades are transported on another truck because they would otherwise be too wide. And depending on the destination, the cabs are taken off to reduce the load height. And sometimes the tracks to reduce width, height, and weight.

I would have to say that the truck and trailer weigh more than 15 tons. Taking off the blade, the ripper, cab and tracks brings the transport weight down to legal by special permit.

Those are crazy wild!

Now that is creative. And it would make a great po$ter.

Yep! Hang it.
I'm willing to bet good money that a lot of people will line up to get copies.

First time? I'd frame that sucker and hang it in a prominent place.

Shows you what I know, I thought you were going for that 'hi-key' thing.

Yes, she was a beautiful girl. Yes, I like the light against the dark of the cave walls. As for the exposure, ya know, I like that too.

Will she get colourized? If you do, I'm hoping you leave the A.I. out of it and do it manually.

Hey Fred:

Glad to see you are still out there going!

Several years ago, i carried my DSLR around one of DWD's parks for an afternoon because I thought I wanted some better photos of something. I don't even remember what it was now. Eehh, no. From then on, I only carried my Canon XS710HS. Small, light, one heck of a zoom, and carries easily on my belt. Security doesn't even stop me. That big DSLR is not worth the effort.

Now, when I studied your cell phone photo, and I studied it very closely, I have to say that I have not seen any better photo taken of Machu Picchu. I found details that I have never seen in any other photo. Several years back, Google sent their mapping team and cameras to Machu Picchu and did an extensive photo survey of the entire main plaza. After studying the stonework in those photos for days, I decided that Machu Picchu has seen at least three different civilizations of stone builders, and that it has been there a whole lot longer than the learned archaeologists want to admit. Also, I'm willing to bet that all that stone was quarried from the actual site. What???? Why is that commons field so much lower than everything else? Where is the ridge??

I, and several others, am looking foreword to whatever photos you chose to post. The color is good, the focus is good, the exposure is good, the depth of field is good. In fact, they are all beyond good, way beyond. So, ignore Imagemaster and everyone else like him. Keep up the good work and keep posting. Please.

Really!

Seemed to me I could remember playing that song on the 45 record player when we lived on the farm. We moved from there in June of '56 when I was five. Unless I find that old record I'll have to go with that.

Thanx for the trip down memory lane.

Hey Chief, can that steel trap remember the name of that group that recorded "Cool Water"? It's been buzzing though my brain since I found this thread. I'd even bet good money that the label on the record was dark blue, maybe Capitol Records. Not in my collection these days. Maybe buried in my sister's basement. But danged if I can remember the artist. Can you?

So architectural is a sub category of landscape?

I'm always looking for logical methods of organizing photos. Such as; shows: dog shows, car shows tractor shows, model shows. Course that gets confused with, cars: drag cars, custom cars, car shows, trucks in car shows, street machines, hot rods, etc.

Not that I have that many landscapes and architectural to worry about. Just picking a fellow hogger's brain. Thanks.

I was beginning to think I was the only one to remember that old cowboy song.

The thing after the the rolling pins looks like it could be a counter of some type or a calculator maybe.

The yellow, green, and red thing before the rolling pins I know I have seen before. Do you have photos that show more of those two items.

Ouch! That's determination.
It was our 25th wedding anniversary, and we were kind of going all out. And at 57, I figured it was now or never. She wanted to go to Cirque de Soule. I wanted to drive a cup car. (We've been to Cirque at least three more times since. What an impressive show.) I had fun with those guys, even though I had them rolling their eyes at some of my comments. But I paid attention, and even bought a ride-along before my drive. I learned a lot. And even found smoother (faster) paths through the turns on my half hour trip to work and back when I got home. But the best thing was the conversation I had with my lead driver when he walked up to me before I left the showroom.

I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Interesting use of a wine rack. But what the heck are the things before and after the rack? The one before looks kind of familiar, but I just can't place it.
