Milton 5.0 by Tim Thayer - pen and india ink cartoon/comic strip
This is the first time I've introduced Henry - he's the rabbit. I drew another strip with him in it first...but haven't inked that in yet.

My Dad

George Thayer

This is a photo my brother sent me of a collection of items from my dad's office. I remember this bear growing up, but never asked him about it. It's just part of so many things I'd like to ask him about now.

1972 Suburban


Tara takes a great picture. I might be a little swayed by the subject matter - but she still takes a nice photo. (photo credit: Tara)

I've been a little obsessed lately - first looking for 1972 Suburbans online in the spring - and now looking for info on wheel sizes, neural safety switches, master cylinders. Maybe I'll be able to get back to work...maybe the fall...

Trucks

GMC pickup truck in southern Vermont
Not sure if this one is running or not - most of these trucks in this series would appear to be not running. This is southern Vermont outside of an auto repair/auto body place - all the vehicles were lined up along the corn. Been converting these truck photos to black and white - you can see why I left this one in color.

1972 Suburban

1972 Chevrolet Suburban
Well, here she is - our 1972 Chevrolet Suburban. I've owned a lot of cars over the years but this is the first Chevrolet, not to mention Suburban. It's in great shape overall - there are a few updates and additions I'll do but it drives great as is. It's about 17 1/2 feet long, and on the trip down from Keene, NH (we call her Keene Green) we got about 12 MPG - have to do some more testing for local MPGs. I'm hoping we have her for a long time to come - hoping to keep fixing her up so she's better and better. Tara said she felt this was the start of us doing things our own way -- I said "start?" For those that are interested - C20 (3/4 ton), 350 cubic inch V8 with the 350 turbo transmission, original 16.5 inch wheels, three rows of seats, rear A/C (currently not working...but should be back online soon), born in Flint Michigan.
