YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.


DAILY THOUGHT:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

NIKON D60 eh! Nice pics bro, you have some real keepers there. I didn't think the leaves would be that changed in W.V already but I guess I was wrong :D

Oh...and BTW...The van was loaded up big time and we got a chance to get off the main road and give the AWD and suspension a little work out.

WOW, WV, great stuff!

You really capture the grandness and expanse of the hills and mountians. And the colors, wow. I stopped taking "scenery only" photos a while back because they just didn't seem to capture or express the reality like yours do.

Yeah, you got some post cards there.
