My old Datsun 280Z

I found old slides of my original Seattle car while converting my old slides to digital. I bought this car while I was co-oping at Hughes Aircraft in Los Angeles. When I bought it, I didn't know how to drive a stick shift yet, so my friend Terry had to drive the car home for me. I bought it from a Guatemalan vacuum machine repair man that lived in Inglewood. It has some issues because it was an older car, but it was a lot of fun and is one of my favorites of the cars I have owned. Unfortunately, as can be seen in the photos, it was totaled in an accident in the Arboretum after I lived in Seattle a few years. I miss that car. The truck pulling another car on a trailer in one of the photos is what rear-ended me. It is obvious why he wasn't able to stop as quickly as I did.

Old slides converted to digital

Rebecca found a good deal at Goodwill on a machine that converts slides to digital images. I dug out my old slides and converted the ones that were worth converting.

Slowly but surely

It was scary to drill holes in the tile, but it all worked out okay

Finished path

It took me 3 months and 45minutes to finally finish the job I started at the beginning of summer. I added the path between or sidewalk (red) to the wood step up to our rock sitting area.
