Thanks for posting this accounting. The cost to get on the track has escalted...as you would imagine. As soon as I can find it, I'll post the schedule of costs you can incur if you wreck your car and damage any of the track...almost always the guard rail and support post. If you need a tow truck, which is very likely, that cost alone will shock you.

Let's say you wreck, tear up 5 or 6 feet of the guard rail, and cause a post to be repaired or replaced. In addition. your car is not drivable so you need a tow truck or maybe a flatbed. The very least of costs you are facing would start at $3,000. And god help you if your wreck causes them to shut down the track. That cost starts at $12,000 and can escalate quickly...depending on how long the track is closed.

This is a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Tour De France. The coachwork was done by Scaglietti, chosen because of their expertise in working with aluminum. It is powered by a V12 engine displacing 2953 cc and making 260 HP. Each cylinder has approximately 250 cc , which is why it's referred to as a 250 GT. It has a 4 speed manual transmission.

Prior to the 1959 Nurburgring race, the car was rolled over in a practice round. They pieced together a makeshift windshield, beat out some dents, and the car went on to win 1st in class and 9th overall. In the 1959 Le Mans race, it again won 1st in class and 3rd overall.

Not only is the GPS great for traveling, but it's also good for local driving. I had to drop something off in Woodstock yesterday before continuing on to Catskill. I figured I'd take my regular route through Woodstock, but the GPS had a different idea. It had me turn left and right and left and right on roads I had never taken before. It wasn't until I was a few miles from Catskill that I was on a familiar road. I don't know how much time I saved, but the GPS is set for the shortest time.

This has happened several times when I am at a local location and have to go to another local location. The GPS shows me a route that never would have occurred to me.

Enjoy!!

Hello everyone, this is my secod total eclipse. Seven years ago Itravel to Saint Louis Mo., for that eclipse, this time to Indianapolis Indiana, all from Chicago.
The eclipse was espectacular and whete I was, it ladyed 4:12 seconds. I cannot wait for the next and travel to Europe.
These images are in sequence from the begining to the end. In the middle it is the moment that the sun disappeared, the middle at the highest intensity with radiation flares, and then the moment when the sun stared to reappeared. By the way, only on that shot I was able to capture what I think is a comet. You will not be able to see it in your phone.

Car #1

1936 Duesenberg SJN Rollston Convertible Coupe. This car had a supercharged straight eight engine, 420 C.I., putting out 320 HP running through a 3 speed manual transmission. It was advertised as being capable of going from 0 to 100 MPH in 17 seconds...keep in mind that this in 1936. It would run 104 MPH in second gear.

Unfortunately, Duesenberg ceased manufacturing cars the following year..1937... when The Cord Corp. collapsed.

Car #2

This beauty is a 1929 Dupont G. Only 11 of these cars were built. This car is one of 3 that had a rear mounted spare tire, one of two that had a rumble seat, and the only one that had a fold-down windshield. The entire body and fenders were all aluminum. In fact, on each side, the front fender, running board and rear fender were a single piece. A few of these cars had a cannon as a hood ornament...in recognition of the Dupont family being in the gun powder busines.

While I was happy with my three screen setup, I was not when it came to post-processing.

I upgraded all three screens to the same HDMI IPS 4k monitors. Since I was at it, I boosted their size to 32''. This works in conjunction with a 65 4k TV where I can really visualize the prints I am about to make.

Cost? Lets than $1,000.00 (+taxes) for the three LG UltraFine 32-Inch.

Only one issue that does not really bother me, the right monitor forces me to turn my head a bit more since I usually work the right and center monitor, the right one is basically keeping me updated as to what runs on my PC and a couple of other utilities.

I wanted to put half a dozen video files (39GB) onto a 64GB flash drive I just got. Naturally, not one of them would fit onto this empty drive. Then I remembered - exFAT. After formatting it exFAT, the files are transferring without a hitch. I'm sure there's a very good reason for the different formats, but I often want to transfer large files, so I have to remember to reformat the drives.

I was going to put these files onto my Google Drive, but - no good. I deleted virtually everything - still no good. I discovered that even after I delete files from my GD, they are still there, as Trash. After I deleted all the Trash, I had my storage capacity back.
