pictures from around our house

[Bruce]

I know this is stupid, but I thought I would let you all look at some pictures from around our home. I included an old Christmas card picture from 1984, when I was 5 months old. I know, you are wondering why I have the name Chris. Chris is my real name and Bruce is my dad's name. I used it because I didn't want to use mine. I am 17 years old now and that black truck is mine. It is a 2000 Ford F-150 4x4 off-road with the 5.4 L. engine. The tractor we got new this year. I pushed my dad to get it and trade off his old John Deere 345. The car is a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis fully loaded with leather and the digital dash. I am not bragging or anything, these are just a few of my favorite things from around our house. My dad got a 2001 Ford Ranger Edge fully loaded new this year. It is chrome yellow. I was not able to take a picture because he is working midnight shift tonight. Also are pictures outside around our house in good old Cape Girardeau County Missouri. Also shown is our 10 year old 38TKB Carrier. The house was built in 1969 with International air conditioning and heating system.

If you used a digital camera there should be a sizing on the camera to reduce the size of the photos and spend up upload and download times and increase the umber of pics. Nice truck.

Our new John Deere 445 with blade

Thanks James.

I know the camera has the image size option, but I forgot to make it smaller. Sorry if it took too long to download. I will try to remember next time.

445 fuel injection emblem. Yes it is a fuel injected gas engine

This is finally the last picture. This tractor has real 35 watt halogen lights, not krypton. And this is supposed to be a garden tractor, not a compact utility.

Diceman, I'm sorry if you don't like the Ford and Mercury. I know your are a GM guy.

We also have another area for uploading, it sort of helps spread our bandwidth usage between 2 sites.

You can use : www.breezeaire.com/public

and upload up to 4 files at one time. Then just link them using img tag or the actual link, which ever you want.

The pics do look great but I don't have a 50" monitor :)

I am sure my pics have been large too but i have a big head ...

[Bruce]

Sorry Breeze. I would go back and do that, but I just deleted the pictures from my hardrive.

[Breeze]

will deal with it later. I just changed widths to not be larger than 580, which I may need to change again.

Not sure what this will do but should only effect future uploads.

[Bruce]

Thanks Breeze!!!

[Breeze]

No problem, its not like I have any work to do or anything :)

[Bruce]

Yeah right

How does a 17 year old afford such a nice truck? My first vehicle was a P.O.S.!

My first car was a Mustang II, real POS. I had to hang my girlfriends head out the door. ;)

FYI, .... I take those big pix and reduce by 50% and they should just about fit. If your cam software has this feature that weeds out extra pixels I use that and cut the pics down to at most 150-200 KB. I use the other site to upload too. Just do Ctrl N and bounce between the two sites and cut and past the name of the JPG file. I do a preview to see how they are arranged after I add IMG to the brackets that contain URL so that the link is contained between [ ] img and /img this makes it pop up on the page from the link. :)

[Bruce]

How I afford it is to work my @$$ off at school retrofiting flourescent ballasts for electronic ones at $10 a fixture. That gets me by on the monthly payments and insurance. Got the truck pretty cheap at a local Ford dealer.

Oh, thanks Breeze for editing my pictures and putting them as links. I really do appreciate it. I like the new Talk-Air animated logo too!


Edit (Breeze): I didn't edit your pics but downloaded them for when I had time to do that. You just right click a pic and can save as on your pc. Too many pics to resize for me so what I did was make ALL uploaded pics not show up unless you click link. That will save some bandwidth. Maybe later I will work on resizing or something. Who knows. :)

It is pretty clear that Bruce is not a lazy dope smoking shit, like the rest of you:o

Yes you are absolutly right HJ. I never had that motivation at that age, unless it was p---y I was after or s%#$ to smoke. So I managed to get nice cars one way or another. Really, I just used the "p---y" motivation to kill two birds with one stone; I just went for the rich chics with the nice cars. So really my first cars were a 78-Z 28 Camaro then another 91 RS (I loved that car) then a 89-Firebird (from an old lady only had 20k on it).

I have the best memories of the Z 28 though. Blue with white leather interior. 350 small block with all Eddlbrock intake, big carb 4 barrel, crome air cleaner. Nothing beats drag raceing your buddys on the way to a party with the sterio going and getting a blow job at the red light. AAAAHHH wish I was 18 again,......damn...gotta go take care of the poopy diaper. :D
