Gravdigr's Photo Safari

Gravdigr · 12-05-2017, 04:48 PM

Thought I would put my non-topical pics in one place, á la Bbro. That way I won't be polluting the entire Cellar. If anyone doesn't want to see them, they'll be easier to avoid, and, if I can't decide where to put a pic I want to share, I can put it here.

Momdigr came in the other afternoon saying that if I went out to go a certain way and "look at all the buzzards".

She wasn't joking. American Black Vultures were attending a buffet provided by a car and a deer trying to occupy the same space at the same time.

The deer lost the contest. Deer shouldn't come to town.

No one said they would be 'good' pictures.

Sweet. That's impressive.

fargon · 12-14-2017, 03:21 PM

Take care of them and they will go over 300K. There are million mile Volvo's out there.

xoxoxoBruce · 12-14-2017, 03:23 PM

Just broke in.

Hmm... 50 lbs oil pressure at idle, and just over 100 degrees, did you just start it, notice the mileage, and get your camera out to take that picture?

Gravdigr · 12-15-2017, 12:40 PM

That pic was taken towards the end of a photo safari. So, it'd been running/driven for a couple hours. It was pretty cold that day, iirc. Popdigr's replaced the thermostat, so it runs a little cooler than it should when it's cold out, heater still works well, though. In summer it runs right around 200, like most of your more modern vehicles.

I'm fairly pleased w/oil pressure, for 250k miles. It'll leak about half a quart between changes (every 3k miles), around the valve cover gasket.

I had this pic,

and it reminded me of something, but, I couldn't put my finger on it.

Finally, I think I've figured out what it reminds me of. This:

It's the blue, to the right of the white 'bolt', that combo that's making me think of the Steal Yer Face thingy.

I think...

Gravdigr · 12-21-2017, 01:08 PM

That pic was pic number 1001, btw.

I bought this camera in June 2017.

bbro · 12-22-2017, 05:53 PM

I love that one!

xoxoxoBruce · 12-22-2017, 10:48 PM

Shit that's easy, just go out and find a sky like that, over scenery like that, and take a picture with the right framing and exposure.

Gravdigr · 01-08-2018, 03:10 PM

That's what I did!

xoxoxoBruce · 01-08-2018, 08:44 PM

Did it good too.
