Since I stole mine (I forget where), you can steal it from me. And if you make it better then I'll steal it from you.

If anyone was to steal my Avatar of my favourite locomotive, New Zealand Government Railways Ja 1267, I'd suggest that they were persons of great taste and perspicacity, a bit like Frank I guess.

Well when I was a young lad I was a fan of the Maple Leafs but I'm not much of a fan of hockey any more. My father was a die hard fan of the Canucks since their inception, it would have been nice for him to see them win the cup before he passed on a few years ago.
The Canucks were up near my home a few weeks ago for a fund raising fishing derby and my sons school went to meet them which was pretty cool. They played a little floor hockey with the kids and signed a few autographs, I think my son is now a Canuckle head like his Grandpa!

No kidding. Seeing the Canucks win the cup before I croak is the only thing left in what was a very full bucket list.

Ha, you ought to live in Chicago and be a Cubs fan. Last time they were in the World Series was 1871, the same year as the Chicago Fire.
I hope now that we don't have a Frank impersonator.

JaBear, I ask you. Is there anyone alive who could impersonate Frank?
I am disappointed, though, that Frank chose a car over a truck for his avatar.

I was hoping for a train, something with zebra stripes perhaps.
This is my favorite.

jeffrey-wimberly zstripeAll the Pic's of the Trucks I owned,are in 35mm,which,I can't store on My PC,Tis why I have a scanner that can take 35mm photo slides whether they be negative or print.
Jeffrey,
I beaah,talking to you,when I decide,on the camera,,,,definitely, this Winter..
Jeffrey, I'd love to be able to take all my parents old slides and put them on the computer. There are lots of old layout pics in there from when I was a wee laddy. What is a decent scanner for the task and what am I going to pay for such a beast.

I have an Epson V100. It does only 35mm as slides (4 at a time) or negatives (as strips), but it will also do prints up to 9"x12", and the cover will accommodate books if you wish to scan text or images from them. It also does colour correction, and allows you to clean-up the image and scan it in various resolutions. There's a reconditioned one HERE for under fifty bucks.

Brent,
It is a 1949,Ford Custom V8 Flat head,three on the tree,with Overdrive,,,that I had rebuilt,,or I should say started in 1985,completed in 1987..I do have three others,but this one is My favorite..The others,,1949 Merc,1954 ford,four dr,,,1979 Corvette,,L48,with a Edelbrock,stroker kit,which boosts the Horsey's,from,350,to 410...For about 35 yrs,,,I only played with trains in the winter,,,played with my other passions the rest of the time...
Jeffrey and Wayne, thanks for the info. I had my Sister and brother in-law over for dinner last night and told her I was going to buy one of these slide scanners and they said that bought one at Costco about six months ago for about a hundred bucks. They said I could use it anytime. Talk about luck.
Frank, Very cool having those old cars. My neighbour has eleven antique cars, all with spoke wheels. He has a steam car that makes a really loud whistle the whole time he's driving it. You hear him coming a mile away. Once a year there is a meet of some sort held at his house and we get all these old cars (maybe a hundred) come into the neighbourhood on trailers. People from all over the U.S. and Canada. They then unload and go on a day long road trip somewhere. Many hang out for the whole weekend. Even though it turns the neighbourhood upside down it is a lot of fun.
You will have to post more pics down the road.
