For your consideration is a 1975 Chevrolet Step Van.  I don’t know this van’s history beyond what I’ve used it for.  Previous owner was a handyman and worked out out it.  That’s all I know.  For me, it’s alternated between the photography event vehicle and a handy vehicle to move things around.  It’s also been used to haul motorized toys around when it’s time to go play in the dirt.  Had it for at least four years.

Features:  350 V8, PS, PB.   Doors both sides.  Roll up door in back.  Driver and passenger seats.  Reese (or similar) hitch, dual rear wheels.  Good rubber all around. Tows well.  Mostly dry inside, only the occasional drip.   I treat the rivets on top with white elastomeric coating, and it’s due for a recoat.    Runs great.   New control module in distributor.  Several dome lights.

I don’t have a good place to park it now and I don’t really want to continue paying for storage.  I’ve decided I’m going to sell it and buy an enclosed trailer for the photography event stuff.

Asking $1800.   Looking for about a 6×9 to 6×12 enclosed trailer with an inside height of about 6ft.   Also interested in a 4wd utility quad.  Trades or partial trades considered.

Quick note today to mention that the Riesenberg Reunion website, which I let expire a year or two ago due to a relative lack of interest, has been revived as a result of the interest indicated at the recent family reunion.   You can find it here:

I quite well realize that anything put online really isn’t private, but any of you that know me know that I worry a lot about things like site usage policies, terms of service and most importantly the tendency of these organizations to change these terms and policies with little or no notice.  This is one of the biggest reasons I haven’t jumped in on every photo sharing site out there.   The last thing I want to see is one of my pictures on some billboard without my permission.   It has happened to others.

Now that we’ve gone through the saga of MySpace loosing popularity to Facebook, which seems well on it’s way to loosing popularity to Google+, I again wonder what’s to become of images I’ve shared on those sites and, if the site goes under, by what mechanism I and my friends and family will use for a stroll down memory lane.

So, again, I’ve come to the conclusion that sometimes, it really is better to just do it yourself.  I like the reliability of my domain name, my server(s), my site.  Using it, I have no one to blame but me if the ability to take that trip down memory lane is lost.

That being the case, I’m making this project active again.   I’ll continue to post on whatever the social site du-jour is, but in many cases, that will be so I can link to content here.   I won’t be posting short and sweet stuff like status updates or tweets, but in depth content like photo galleries, ride reports and whatever else will go here and be linked.

In this click-through world we seem to have arrived in, I hope that isn’t too much of a hassle for those that like to follow my hi-jinks.  Thanks for taking the time to read.

I’ve changed the comment requirements to “registered” and “logged in”.  I was trying to avoid this because I know what a pain it is to have to register and remember a password for dozens of sites.  Unfortunately, I’m tired of having to delete hundreds of spam comments every time I log in.  Appropriate comments are still welcome and appreciated.  Sorry you have to work a bit harder to do so now.
