B & W Photos

We got to play with some black and white photos for once the other day. Nobody does B&W any more, and they can be kinda cool. Sometimes i don't smile and sometimes i do, but out the other photos are the interesting ones. I have the full size ones here for you nice large ones rather than 100 KB





another thing i thought to tell you is , as to the computer skills i am developing. I have been trying to get Quick books to function on my computer. quick books pro 2008 and windows Xp service pak 3 are incompatible. so last week i uninstalled sp3. didn't fix the problem. i discovered that .net framework 2.0 has large problems as well with QB's . the idea is to repair these things rather tan uninstall. neither of those options worked. So on Sunday i got to run the installation clean up utility. (Use this as last resort, written everywhere -yes scary) but it worked, I got net framework uninstalled and re downloaded. so now quick books works. Computer skills way beyond what i thought I were up to. and with not too much help from anyone else as well.
So here I am going to rest on my laurels and say "I rock"

Practicing some skills for when I am away overseas and have limited computer access. see what you think
Today I am the proud new owner of some blizaks tires, 4 of them and $460 poorer, i know i should stop complaining. but complaining is fun. these are supposed to be supper tyres for driving in the snow / ice. my Friend and those that say they are good tyres but we shall see, its a long winter.
I also got to change my head lite bulb , i lost the low beam last week. you know on the side where you have to take the battery out to get to the head lite. My battery is kinda old, and it took some loosening, the spray stuff for loosening nuts is really good, got the battery out , got the lite bub back in and in the right place without touching the bulb, and everything back together all in 40 minutes flat. I'm rather proud of my self. I even had the right size ratchet in my little tool kit this helped.
yes there is still snow 0n the ground, it hasn't melted.
