Well done Jim!
I miss the sense of reason in most of todays media.
You Texans ok from storms
Gosh we are in bad drought! Had a saying in Iowa to tell "growing stages", "Knee high at the 4th of July" Not so here this year.

Sorry about the drought. Yes, we're ok but we've had some big storms. Usually when I'm following them on Foreflight the tops are 40,000 to 50,000, the last week or so they popped up to 60K and a few nights ago several were 70K +. Some of the hail from those were softball and above. I told my roofer that there was no rush replacing our roof, just as soon wait until hail season comes to a close.
My State Farm appraiser was out last week and, as usual, he was very fair. Still, not interested in ponying up another 1% deductible. My roofer replaced one guy's roof a week ago and the new one just got totaled by a new storm. Sure glad I didn't opt for the 3 or 6% deductible when we renewed in January, nothing like a $54,000 deductible...........
Glad your RAID Arrays are performing for you Dan. Now that I have wifi at the hanger office I am going to put a new 176 TB 8 bay out there. Thinking seriously about putting a loaded Mac Studio M2 Ultra out there as well, with a 27" Studio Monitor.
Great images in the last couple pages. Jim, that's a lot of one of a kind collection you got to see!
I stopped by the Flight 93 Memorial again yesterday on my way to the Latrobe show. I didn't use my cameras to photograph the memorial yesterday, just my iPhone. However, this time I went inside the visitor center to look around, I listened to the only three known recorded voice messages two passengers and one of the flight attendants left on their loved ones' answering machines. It's really something to hear what people would say to their loved ones when they knew they would likely die in minutes, no words to describe it, especially when you listen to the actual voices.
On to Latrobe, the lineup was pretty short, and the smoke from the Canadian wildfires was back again! The sky was for the most part grey and hazy. Anyway, here are some shots from the show, all shots taken with the 600 f4+1.4TC were uncropped.
Hope you fathers all had a nice father's day. I had an 18-ounce T-bone and a Heineken

Thanks Douglas! That shoot just scratched the surface of this $100M + collection, we'll be shooting a lot more in the future I hope. I have an image of the Bentley in my mind captured from another vehicle, shooting backward at slow shutter speeds on a curving country road at dawn/dusk. We're going to do a studio shoot of it and light paint it too.
