Default The madness has begun

Well after about 2 or 3 hours and a couple of beers the engine and compartment is well on it's way to being fully detailed. We got the hood off, the radiator and shroud out, all the accessories off the front of the engine and the headers loose. I need to get the starter off and the clutch Z bar also to get the headers out, then they're off for ceramic coating. I plan to go as far as taking the intake off, the master cylinder and booster, the windsheild washer bottle (it leaks like crazy) any maybe the radiator overflow tank off. Then the big cleanup can begin. I don't plan to pull the engine, but that may change. I got a digital camera for Christmas, but I can't get it to work with my computer, I think the computer is too old, but if I get it figured out, I'll post some pics. Now for the best part of being on vacation, it's nap time!

I bought an Epson Photo R300 printer..it accepts most digital camera cards...that way you can escape the ISB cord lash up to computer....you just insert card into printer "card slot",and images load to your picture file..much quicker too...Got printer at Cosco for $126...comes with software..
Another issue,when you download images direct from camera to computer,your camera battery runs down,as you have to have your camera on...

So Rich, you're saying the pics will load to the computer through the printer, bypassing the USB cable that connects to the camera?

Right...I went thru the hassle with the USB cable,and did not like it..then got the printer,and it was much easier/quicker to just insert my SD card into the printer...and load to my picture file on the computer..the printer is handy,as well,btw,for printing photos..

Thanks Rich. My camera is an Olympus that I know my parents got from Costco, so I'll have to put your suggestion in the back of my mind. I think I'll google the printer and see if it will work with my camera.
