rDay Eight-Hundred-Thirty-Six
Early morning, on the move down Adams. Grabbed a quick shot from the driver’s side window without a chance to compose or focus, hoping not to hit other cars in traffic…
rDay Eight-Hundred-Thirty-Five
Another scorcher. Forecast was for 99 F., didn’t get an actual reading.
The big news of the day was old friend & ex-colleague Zach (and Nikon shooter, along with his wife!) took a break from working his new hosting/security consulting/IT management company to come over and meet Charlie.

The Past Is Just That …

Yet I had to find this auction result (RNM, high bid $87,911) from BaT (Bring a Trailer), one of my favorite automotive sites, interesting in that the subject is a vehicle that was almost a dead-ringer for my old Porsche (I owned it in the 60s and 70s), right down to year, model, color, trim, deck script, interior options — even its tires and wheels. Read more. And for a view of my old “TPW146”, aka “The Pumpkin”, see here.
Okay, back to our regularly scheduled broadcasting …
