Inspired by Slayer4u's "Oly Tour" thread, I thought Id start posting some of the pics of my weekly travel. I deliver air quality control systems between bothell and bellingham. I see a lot of interesting images and capture as most i can with my camera while driving a 18,000 pound truck. This one can start it off as it was from the drive home from work.

almost all pics will be 1048 x 786 or vice versa, if theyre too big, just say so ill shrink em

Just attach them as thumbnails. They make it hard to read the text since you have to scroll.

I think I've actually seen that car.
 
didnt get many pics today since it was raining

the first pic is from this morning, thought it was pretty neat

second is a protege that hurt my eyes, death to bumper stickers

think it would be considered fastar than joo. 50 plus horses for each sticker you know.

and when did trunk lid stickers come into play? Should at least keep a "bumper sticker" on the bumper.


Showtege, do you have any bigger pics?
 
camera phone pics of a protege in mt vernon with two tone paint job, and apparantly nothing else :( still looks nicely done black/gold are the colors

heres some pics from my trip over blewett and snoqualmie passes today..

Took both passes on all season tires, blewett wasnt too bad as long as you kept a steady pace on inclines. Just after Cle Elum there was a five mile row of cars getting chains put on and an trailer flippid on its side in the median Snoqualmie was crazy. Chains required on all vehicles except AWD. No chains and I was too far to turn back by the time i starting seeing the signs, so i forged on and got lucky that they didnt have a checkpoint checking for AWD on cars(they had one for east bound).

made it across fine with only one close incident...I was in the left lane after the pass widens after "stump" lake, dont know the real name, anyway the roads covered with snow so the lanes are anywhere people are driving.. I am going 35 mph passing this semi when we come to a slight right curve.. I start taking the curve and the semi follows a made up lane that merges into mine.. Im just behind his cab about this time and i go a little to the left and reduce speed.. Well theres a nice snow rut that shifts my rear end to the left.. I come out of the rut at about a 20 - 25 degree angle pointing at the truck.. Now im back on the packed snow and slightly drifting around this curve.. Now my passenger headlight is about an inch (maybe more..damn close though) from going under his trailer.. corrected the steer and was able to slow down enough to let him pass and allow my heart to return to normal before i did any more passing.

I keep a digital camera in my car... becaue you never know what you'll see.

He came down a little hill, lost control, took out a sign and a bush, and landed on a cement barrier. It's not so much what happend, it's the car involved. I think the guy in the brown suite was the one driving :)

The right side was kinda messed up. Nothing too bad though.

Too much Cosworth not enough hair. That's an old one isn't it? That car needs to find a real owner.

Bonesmp5, Washington Park Zoo right? I have allways wanted to clear out the Africa Exhibit animals for a few hours and get a good game of paint ball going in that area.
Japanese Gardens are fantastic in the winter (no paintball).
 
I took pics up at WA Park a few weeks ago. I had never been all in there before. I was on a random drive. The Japanese gardens had just closed though. And of course the Rose Garden sucked big time this time of year.
