Here are a few pictures I took while in OK while visiting my mom, and brother. These were all taken on a 4 year old disposable camera I found before I left, and scanned.:lol: I found some pictures from when I went to my brother's HS graduation on the camera, and pictures of my Dad's car at the house we lived in about 2-4 years ago!:odd:

I would have stayed in OK longer, but I had to come back for enrollment at TTC for their Fall classes. On my way back I believe I was on 1-26 East, Wednsday night, and I got a call from my Dad's ex-wife saying she needed some help because she wrecked her car, my dog was hurt(my Dad, myself, and her switch dogs every now and then so we can all have turns seeing them:odd:), and because it was pouring rain. I was about 2 hours from Mt. Pleasant when I got the call, and she was about 1 hour from Mt. Pleasant(she wrecked right between mile markers 171/172) so I called my Dad, told him the situation, and I hurried there. My Dad got there right about 5 minutes after I did. It was pretty bad. She wrecked the 5 Series my Dad bought her after she kept bending wheels on his 3 Series. She hydroplaned at about 70mph, slid off the highway into the center median, and smashed the passenger side of the car into some trees. Unfortunately, she was fine, and so was her dog, but my dog wasn't so lucky. My Beagle, Angel, was in the front passenger seat, and, upon impact, smashed the dash board fracturing her spinal cord around the middle of the rib cage.:( I held her heavy ass while she was whimpering because of the pain for about 2 hours until we left to go to the vet. She bit the hell out of my right index finger on the way to the vet because she was so scared, and didn't know what was going on, or why she hurt so much. We ended up having her put to sleep 2:00am the next morning. Anyhoo, I'll post the pictures of her car that I took with my Dad's digital camera as soon as he comes back home, and I get them off the camera.

Here's picture #1: It's a silver 911 Turbo we ran into at Hallett Raceway in Oklahoma. We had no idea he would be interested in racing until we came up behind him at a toll booth on the way back to the Sand Springs/Prattville area. Once he paid the toll he shot up to about 140mph almost instantly.:eek: We ended up racing him multiple times - each time getting absolutely slaughtered. Definitely one of the fastest cars I've ever tan into on the streets. He could put about 60 yards in between us in about 2 seconds, and this was with me spraying!:odd: WTF?! Ridiculous.

Blah.

Later I might post pictures of the "Welcome to <insert states name here>" sings I encountered on the way back, or some C5's on the way to a car meet in Tennessee I tried getting to bite.:irked:

Weird, Mt Pleasant Texas is about ten miles from mile 171/172.

By the way, did you know I was in Oklahoma City on June 29? I could've dropped in on you, and kicked your ass, assuming you were there then.

Thanks, Doug.

I just don't understand why it had to be my Dog, and not her, or her, dog. Maybe because her Dog's name is Lucky?:rolleyes: ****.

**** indeed! Plus, your dog's called Angel - who knows what afterlife implications that might have for you. Furthermore, the only Britney Spears song on my playlist, "Lucky," just came on. Coincidences like these, plus the Mt Pleasant one, rulez0r, wouldn't you say?

I think Mt. Pleasant, SC is about 60-70 miles from 171/172, maybe more... maybe less.

Damnit, Doug. I was in Ok City on the 28th/29th visiting my Aunt, and Uncle, who just recently moved from Mcalester into a new house. Some of my other relatives were there as well. If I would have known I definitely would've kicked your ass!:banghead:

Oh my God! I didn't even mention that I was going to be in Oklahoma because I thought you were going to be in Stillwater which was way off my route. But we were in the same place at the same damn time! Where are/were your brains!?

Dunno - but part of it consisted of 'Bo4z.'

I believe you told me you would be passing through Oklahoma - about 20 miles away from Stillwater - at some point.

I've got various pictures from me and my uncle flying from Clairmore Municipal Airport, to the airport in Vinita, OK right next to the World's Largest McDonalds.👍 It was f-ing awesome. The place is humongous. It's mostly just a bunch of tourist crap inside, with a decent sized McDonalds, and a huge seating area. It was crazy just to fly somewhere for lunch.:odd:
 
#1 Do I even need to say what this is? Bah. Cockpit, dash, whatever, of a Cessna 172.

#2 Taking off from Clairmore Municipal on the way to Vinita. The shadow looked cool so I figured I'd take a picture of it.

*Note* All of these pictures were taken with a ****ty disposable camera that belonged to my uncle. I brought a normal camera(non-digital) that had a really nice zoom, but I couldn't get it to work - I later realized it wasn't turned on.:rolleyes:

#5 You can see the very beginning of the runway at Vinita in this picture. It's the little thing of concrete right next to the door frame in this picture. That building with 1-44 running underneath it is McDonalds.

#11 This picture of me at Vinita is terrible, but... whatever. It looks like I have a huge receding hairline, it looks like my head is really lopsided due to some truck, or something, back there at the gas station, and it looks like there's something like a strawberry on my face if you zoom in.:odd: I'm guessing it's something tiny on my scanner that showed up.:confused: I also look sort of pale. That's weird, though, as I'm darker than my Dad's ex-wife who's part Indian, and who tans a lot. Blah ba de blah, mcblah.

Notice the 172, the World's Largest McDonalds in the background, the $14 cheap ass sunglasses I bought at Wal-Mart that morning specifically for the flight, and the sweet AE FLIP FLOPS!:P

It's not as sad as the time I took an entire roll of pictures only to later find out that there wasn't even any film in the camera.:odd: I'm an idiot, I swear.

Thanks, Fred.

I probably won't get another dog for a long time, even though I already want another one.:( I'm tired of losing pets - this is the 3rd Dog we've had to have put to sleep in less than 5 years.:irked:
 
I am very sorry about your dog too, Josh. My girl's dog jusr died of hepatitis three days ago, and we are all very sad. she cried and cried, so as I. damn it is hard, even if it wasnt a pet that you really loved. but Giga was, and damn its sad. we miss it so much. :(

Cano
