The idea of this thread is to get to know everyone better...
Tomorrow, take your digital camera with you and snap random pics of your:
- Work
- Hometown
- Mall
- Illegal Chopshop
- Cars
- Random pics of your whole day!
Make it interesting, show off!
I'll be adding more and more...
Please join!
ooh you stole my idea :)Quote:

Anyone else going to give it a try? (of course, it would take a days notice to do something like this).
An ideal presentation should be what, no more than 10 photos?
[EDIT: as I mention in my post below, using Links to photos would be far less chaotic than linking many photos into this thread.]
i see no reason not to...photoshop fodder aside
Sounds cool. Whats the max size our photos should be?
Sounds like a good idea. I'll do mine on Wends, the day I'm leaving work early for a Thrasher's game.
Would also be nice if people would resize the pics down a good bit. No post with a dozen 1200x800 pics.Quote:

That will save everyone a headache.
Thus, here would be a good format:
[Image Link 1]
[Description]
[image link 2]
[Description]
etc as needed...
Yes, that saves space but the thread would much more popular if you could post them directly on thread.Quote:

how about if we post only one pic and link to the rest (note: the member must be in the pic, which is directly posted)?Quote:

Wow, that thread died in a hurry.Quote:

Because of my internet access tomorrow, it's going to take me about 24 hours to get the photos then get around to uploading/posting them. It will be worth it if we see some different people.Quote:

Sort of like this:
1- this is me getting in the shower
2- this is me eating breakfast
3- this is me leaving for work
4- this is me at work
5- this is me having lunch
6- this is me leaving to go home
7- this is me relaxing
8- this is me and family having dinner
9- this is me trying to get lucky with the missus
10- this is me sleeping because the missus said no
Just wondering if it's something along those lines.

I'll try and do this sometime soon as well. Good idea :)
I like this thread...
Great idea!
Will do this ;)
Nice pics Tonk!
Is it preferred that the post contain multiple photos, even though just one obviously doesn't represent your entire day?
I'm thinking one lone photo could be just as cool.
Tomorrow probably isn't my "fun" day, so I'll wait until Friday to do this... Harry Potter 4? comes out. :chimp:
Cool..
Well..Basically the day I do most things are on Saturdays..otherwise I'm working..
Saturday I hit the Flea Market/Ship Packages and go Pocket Bike-Mini Moto Practice Racing....So I'll post about that day..
I hit the flea early and it was SHIT! ..Sucked..Worst day ever for me finding anything.
All I found was..
The Punisher clock.

other
Saturday:Pocket Bike-Mini Moto Practice Racing(what I'm big into now)
..Though I had all my bikes running here perfectly before leaving I had problems at the track from the start..My Polini's pull starter string snapped on the first pull and I had to spend a lot of time changing it..I spent a lot of time fixing stuff/changing fuel filters and changing fuel ratios...
The day just felt like bad luck but was fun overall..fixing the bikes comes with the territory.
My buddy Ron came along..I loaned him a bike and equipment.
Ron was riding around the track doing great for most of the day...He fell once on his butt earlier in the day and when we were on our last ride for the day on the track he got a little bold on the first turn after the straight..He pushed too hard and had what I call a spectacular crash as I was right behind him....He hit the barrier so hard flying right over the bike .he hit so hard he broke the front venys right off of the Helmet...
He was going so well really enjoying the riding until he pushed the bike too much trying to get away from me and BAM!!..I wish I had it on camera as I usually leave the camcorder recording.
I fixed the bike up when I got home as the faring had a crack and I have spares.. Rons ok..He's ready to ride again..
I fell myself being too aggressive on the track,racing against a faster bike.. but I know how to fall,I went sliding down the track on my knee sliders with the bike sliding in front of me still running,jumped back on and continued.
(If your not falling your not trying)
Ron took a ton of video that I still have to check out..
My Dad and my five bikes...before packing up....Bikes semi apart.

tonk.
youngstown looks like the most incredibly boring place on earth, except for maybe arizona or something.
cool pics though.
I will post some pictures of my day soon. I have to borrow my buddies digital camera so it may be a few days until I post. Nice pictures TonK and chris1. I look forward to seeing more from other members.
lol
Certain areas of Arizona have been known to kickass.Quote:

I don't want my photo day to be anything special, so I'm going to do a day of going to work and back.
Tell your dad he has great taste in cars too, I love the PT Crusiers, we have a red LE too :emb:Quote:

Sorry Tonk but I'd much rather see a post with 64 links than bother to sit there and change the address 63 times.
Though the one of you going 100 with the seatbelt light on is a good one ;)
I'll probably try and spend tomorrow and thursday taking some pics and see what I end up with.
You've been sheltered, haven't you?Quote:

Get up at 5:30 A.M. Shower, instant breakfast and it’s time to go, around 6:40.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...%20day/6AM.jpg
Here’s my company van, a rattletrap with 250K+ miles on it.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...y/heartvan.jpg
Here’s my wife’s car, out 2002 Mazda protégé5. Unfortunately it has to sit outside in the elements due to the fact that we only have a 1-stall garage (the GTO occupies that coveted spot).
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...0day/mazda.jpg
Yup, garbage day, had to drag the can out.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...garbageday.jpg
Note I’m not in a hurry to get to work.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...otinahurry.jpg
I head down the street in my neighborhood and down the hill into the shit town of East Peoria. Up and over the hill and it’s on to the local small highway to the company I work for, Heart Technologies. I get my parts (note the mess), some data cable, jacks and a mount for a 40” LCD that I have to install at a local police department tomorrow morning (6:30 A.M. to be exact, yay…).
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...0day/parts.jpg
It’s back on the road and past our local riverboat casino, I see this every day.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...y/paradise.jpg
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42.../riverboat.jpg
On to a small town called Morton where I will be going to one of the 3 job sites I have to visit today. All are a place that gives a home for severely mentally challenged people to stay during the day. But first…here comes what would land up being the best part of my day, doughnuts and coffee at a local Casey’s.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...day/caseys.jpg
Mmmmm, doughnuts…
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...nddoughnut.jpg
Now, finally on to the job site. I stop to notice that gas is finally below $2/gallon…hooray.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...y/gasprice.jpg
Today I’m working at a local place for mentally challenged people. I have to go there to install some new phone lines. Getting out my tools I notice my butt set is missing (the large, orange handset that the phone guys are always using, it allows you to tap into any phone line). I need that to do my job and it also costs $250 for a new one!!! I freak out a bit and decide to use my head. I go to a local Walmart (the only thing open at 7 A.M.) and purchase a phone with the keypad and flash on the handset for $9. I take it to my van and after some clips and a little modification, I have another butt set.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...day/butset.jpg
Back to the jobsite. Here’s a shot of their shitty phone closet. This is one of the worst I’ve seen.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...onecloset1.jpg
Long story short I get the job done, head to another site nearby (same company) and get out. Ooops, I let my tools in the van…HOLY SHIT! I ALSO LEFT MY FUCKING KEYS IN THE VAN!!! I haven’t done this in over 10 years. Long story short I called the police and they got me another key made!
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...y/sparekey.jpg
Can you believe that? That’s a small town for you. I finish that job and go to Hardee’s for lunch (against my better judgment). All I’m going to show is my iced tea due to the fact that my “six dollar burger” was such a freaking mess.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...ay/hardees.jpg
Off to Tremont. Here’s some shots of the barren Illinois prairie lands between the towns.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...0day/road1.jpg
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...0day/road2.jpg
I get to Tremont shortly, a crappy little town with a population of around 2500 that I grew up in.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...ay/tremont.jpg
Here’s the shit hole apartment I grew up in….gee, the memories of welfare and poverty and moldy basement walls…brings a tear of joy to my eye…
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...ay/rathole.jpg
On to the other TCRC site.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...20day/TCRC.jpg
Here’s a shot of their phone closet, better but not all the good either.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...onecloset2.jpg
I get most of the work done and split at 3:30. The site contact made a point to say that I had banker’s hours. I asked here what bank is open at 7 A.M. because that’s when I started. That shut her up a bit. Home again at 4:15
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42.../homeagain.jpg
What a shitty fucking day. I hope tomorrow is better….we’ll see though.
