A cold drive
Drove to a car and coffee get together about 15 miles away this morning. Got there and no coffee or cars! LOL .. turned out that it was cancelled due to the Corona Virus. So on the chilly drive back home I drove by the old Kodak headquarters.

Re: A cold drive
Ha ... I’ll get it done this summer for sure, though I suspect it will spend more time down than up. I can’t imagine how I’ll be able to see stop lights here in the city with it up. At my height and these new seat cushions and springs I view traffic mostly from over the windshield.

Re: A cold drive
I installed one of these near the top of my windshield so that I could see traffic lights with the top up. Works great! I have one on my Honda Element also.

Re: A cold drive
These days you have to call ahead to see if a place is open. Restaurants and their staffs are really taking a hit. Times are changing and not for the better.....

Snow this AM and still coming down Portland/Vancouver area! For once the weather person got it right.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

Re: A cold drive
Seems this was a good day to take this picture. George Eastman took his own life on this date in 1932. He was 77. He left the following note: “To my friends. My work is done, why wait”

Re: A cold drive
Great photos as always. Isn't it great to get the car out even if it's a little chilly. Driving the T's is something we can do without getting too close to folks that might be sick.
I plan to.

Re: A cold drive
I’ve run the car once a week all winter even if it was only to have it get up to operating temperature in my driveway. The snow hasn’t been that frequent this year and there were lots of days between that were good for chilly rides.

Re: A cold drive
The inventor of the digital camera is actually a friend of mine. Come in our Museum from time to time. I remind him it’s a fad on a regular basis.
