Good day all. Rainy today but the Farms can use it.

Here is a '55 Chevy from a car show a few miles down the road.

[Michael]

What a gorgeous green. great shot, Rich!

[Man From Ironbark]

Love the green. Great shot.

[Dave]

What they said. Great car, plus expertly photographed as always.

Well my PC situation continues. Yesterday I returned the PC and the extra memory. Refund is being processed. And late last night reviewed the quote I got from Dell.com and all looked right so I placed the order. It wasn't cheap but a few hundred less than what I budgeted

I'm getting one of the models named "Precision; i7 CPU, 32 GB of RAM (expandable to 64 GB), a 2 TB data drive, a read/write CD/DVD, and an ethernet card. It's got lots of more than enough USB ports and if I remember right has one more internal bay should I want to add data drive.

They estimate it will arrive by the end of the month.

[Man From Ironbark]

Well at least you missed out on the blue screen of death.

[Rich]

Thanks Michael, Peter and Dave!

Dave, sounds like an upscale PC! Good for you!

[Dave]

Yeah, fortunately no BSOD.

I wouldn't call the PC I ordered "upscale"; the Intel processor I ordered is at least 2 generations behind the newest, and I chose the i7 over the i9 because there are reports that the i9 actually slows Photoshop's processing way down compared to the i7. I did splurge on the data drive capacity and the RAM.

Of course they did their best to upsell me into a state of the art gaming machine (costing nearly double what I selected). When I said I have zero interest in gaming, they acted like they had never heard that before.

[Man From Ironbark]

You aren't the lone stranger about not being interested in gaming.

Today I learned that John Deere made this way back in 1956 I think.
Tractor tyres so it go almost anywhere.
The closed cabin meant you didn't get whacked in the face by sunflowers'
     
The Field Flyer.

or at least the image can be found on facebook.

WOW!!!

Such a neat-looking vehicle.

I never would never have guessed way back in 1956.

Looks like AI to me...
