Re: Random Shot Of The Day - Part 2
One of the things I'm most thankful for is the access that being associated with AAFO.COM has given me over the years. I just happened on a folder of photos that I believe I took specifically to present to Air and Space Smithsonian from the shooting of Thunder over Reno (the movie)
I have one that is truly a treasure to me.. It's of Lyle Shelton sitting in the airplane that he'd allowed someone else to fly (Ron Buccarelli) we asked him for a "pose" and, as always, Lyle was game! Guys like Lyle, Jimmy, Tiger... a bunch of guys really opened doors for me during the time that AAFO.COM was very active (meaning, I didn't hurt all the time and had energy to pursue the story!!)
I don't know if we'll ever see anyone with more balls than the guy in this photo! I can only imagine what it must have been like pushing Rare Bear so far beyond realistic limits, not to mention, around a bunch of other airplanes at 50' over the deck at the Reno National Championship Air Races and Air Show!!!!!Wayne Sagar

Re: Random Shot Of The Day - Part 2
Just realized after it took me nearly 20 minutes to figure out how to size and brand the photo in order to upload it... I learned Photoshop and later did pretty well with CS2 (what I used today) I have just about forgotten EVERYTHING that I know regarding making and maintaining a website!!!
I can't even do the simplest tasks in Photoshop! Well, obviously, I can but, it used to be soooooo easy, second nature and I had batch files that would do a whole folder (branding and such) with my settings.... I guess I just remembered that, so maybe with practice???????
I have a lot of early demntia symptoms... mostly, memory loss! SUCKS!Wayne Sagar

All my home media is Mac based, movies, home videos, music and photos. To share photos from Photos I export JPEG Quality - High and Size is - Large.
When I used Photoshop 1000 x 1000 size worked well.
Hope this helps.

I guess we're not completely off topic and if anyone wants me to move this exchange to a sub section... lemme know! I don't want to distract from the theme of the thread... though, once I get all this done, I'll be contributing as well!!
Anyway, we are now at about a hundred and a half for a 1tb external SSD drive, my plan is to dig up my immensely heavy five mechanical drive (full size drives) array that I used to lug around with me so I had access to archives, should I need them, and transfer copies of everything I've ever saved, on every single stupid drive (I have far too many in boxes that I can not remember what is on them) deep breath... anyway...
That's the plan.

I Want To Play!: One Of My Favorite Racers Of All Time, Dave Morss!
I truly can not imagine a RENO without a meeting greeting with Dave Morss!
What a Bulldog!
He's just ALWAYS there, flying SOMETHING I would say chasing the trophy, or the prize money but that's not what drives Dave, like every other racer at RENO, he is there to fly whatever he's flying, as fast as anyone possibly can fly it...
THAT is what RENO is about!
Thanks Dave!!!Wayne Sagar
