Has anyone else ever noticed that every movie that is "based" in Seattle has the main character driving a Volvo.....usually a wagon? Or is it just me?

Found a 360mm original 4 spoke steering wheel for Shrek (same as on the 92RS) and finished cleaning/restitching/repairing the electric switches on the used sportseats I found for a song.

Made an offer for an additional house this weekend since 2 of my daughters are attending college in the Orange County area. Just seems silly to have them dorm or pay rent to share apartment/condo. Should know in a a couple of days if the seller accepts the offer.

Sadly... I will most likely have to give up a couple of cars to help fund the furnishing. Good news is the 964 will not be leaving us anytime soon.

I had a huge weekend in Santa Fe... Just got back late last night.... visiting the daughter at college. No P-car activity, and I could tell you I'd be unable to drive mine in that city... the driveway/curb entrys are too steep. I'd lose the nose in about a week.

I drove a Kia Forte. (How Hertz considers that a mid-size I don't know) and I played a lot with it's own version of the Tip... The car needs it as it is 9K ft elevation, and full of people driving the back roads near Los Alamos. It was seriously underpowered, lousy hard tires, but not bad otherwise.

We visited a pueblo site, where the residents had built into the cliffs, and used their own hollowed out spaces, on ladders etc. The last one was 140' of ladder climbing to get to a ceremonial cave at the top. Tricky, and I can't believe the lawyers haven't shut that down yet.

The roads through Los Alamos (502 and 4) and over the ridge, down into the Jemez reservation are stunning, with great switchbacks, huge views, red cliffs, shivering aspens, and the largest caldera I've ever seen, with elk in the far distance. It was crowded with sport bikes all up there looking at the foliage.

We looked at a house with a huge garage, with COPPER doors... but I think we're safe as it was $1.9 Million, discounted from $3M.... Not this month anyway....

Hawk, I took lots of pictures with a G10. I will post them once I have a few winners.

cool on the G10 photos, though I'm a bit depressed about recent discussions surrounding my photography.

Pretty soon he will be asking to borrow it for picking up the ladies.

Only Porsche related activities were starting to repair some mouse damage in our Boxster

Some little @##$%'s got into the engine compartment and chewed through some wires.

William, the problem is more it's not making money shooting what I do, among other things. You cannot challenge a woman's logic about what makes her feel secure or insecure.
