February 5
- This site may not change much for a while. This computer
completely puked Friday night. I have gotten it back to working very slugglishly,
so I wanted to warn regular visitors that there is a bump in the road ahead
until my son can eventually clean everything out and re-install a better
software.
I received some unbelievable photos from Rich Palmer, of Georgia,
Vermont. My apologies to Rich - the problems with the computer are causing my
scanner to make very poor scans of his nice photos, but I am going to still scan
as many as I can in case I don't get another chance. [They could always be
re-scanned some other time]. Here is a sample: The actual photograph has
much richer color.
My trip to the Camelot Antique Center in Bennington, Vermont was very
enlightening. I was presented with an opportunity to buy my own photography from
a booth there for $9 a picture. To the person who is taking stuff on this site
and selling - you may not be breaking any specific law, but I think it is pretty
DAMNED cheesy !
February 6 - I managed to get on line long enough to put a few of Rich Palmer's photos on the Catamount Early Tiger Competitors' Page. Sorry about the scan quality, Rich. The drivers on my computer are sick.
February 8 - I managed to get on line long enough to put a few more of Rich Palmer's photos on the Catamount Limited Sportsman Page. Sorry about the scan quality, Rich. The drivers on my computer are sick.
February 16 - I am at least temporarily back on with a repaired computer. I will haveto re-scan the newly -acquired Rich Palmer photos, as they were lost when the computer crapped the bed. I am hoping the new scans will be much better. This photo is better, and shows a young Ron "Red Dog" Barcomb before he became associated with Ford for a number of years. I continue to experience problems, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
February 19 - I am trying to periodically downsize my graphics, as I have realized my screen is larger than those of a lot of my viewers. This makes the graphics which are nicely aligned on my screen look screwy on theirs. It will take a long time to do it all. I would like to add the more improved scans of the Rich Palmer photos. I find them to be huge, right now - so I have to resize them all, apparently. There will probably be some on Early Tigers page in the near future.
February 27 - More shots on the Early Tigers and Limited Sportsman pages. If the man who sent me info and pictures of the Hanaford Pontiac would re-contact me - I lost your name and email address when the computer crashed.
