Default Here's some more inspiration...

Not sure if this will be inspiration to finish those projects or to move to Seattle, but here's a picture from my short flight early this morning. Weather was clear and calm, and the car just would not drive toward work.

Call it what you want. If you got it, flaunt it!
If you don't got it, keep pounding rivets!

There's a commercial they show around the Dallas area sometimes with Nolan Ryan talking about foundation repair. He uses the line, "It ain't bragging if you can do it."

Seems an appropriate phrase for this pic and thread <grin>.

Lorne,
Yup, that's Mount Rainier. 14,410'. I was at about 4500'.

Chad and Brad,
Ditto what Mel said.
