Description
The Girls are taking a short hiatus while things hopefully start settling down here. G4, Ar, and Kinnie have joined Ella at her home in upstate New York. Her father left it to Ella when he passed away a few years ago. Ella has completely restored her dad's old '54 Chevy Bel-Aire, and the Girls are going on a little tour of rural New York. They will be back soon. There are plenty of adventures to come.
Well, as if there haven't been enough things to deal with the last few months, now my primary Photoshop machine has started having some major issues. Lately, it's been giving me the occasional BSOD on startup. Yesterday, it took 5 or 6 attempts at starting it up to get it to finally settle down. It asked me to run Windows startup repair, which I did - and unsurprisingly after 30 minutes Windows informed me it was "unable to repair" the problem. Typical Widows "Troubleshooter" results...
Anyway, after an hour or so of messing with it, the machine finally settled down, and seems to be working normally now. It's a 6 year old machine running Windows 7, but it's a dual-processor unit with 64G of RAM, and I think it has plenty of life left in it. This is likely more of a software corruption issue than any kind of hardware problem. The company I bought it from - Velocity Micro - offers an "upgrade program" for existing customers, where you can ship the computer back to them, and they'll upgrade it. I may check into this - depending on cost, it might be worth it to upgrade to Win 10 and probably a better GPU. Or I might just do a format-reload on it. We'll see.
Jo is feeling a lot better - thank you all for all the well-wishes and prayers! You rock, my friends!
And a great big CONGRATULATIONS to Barb (Bakapo) for being voted Artist of the Month! Well deserved! 👍
Hope to be back in action soon with the last few pages of Chapter 6 and the beginning of Chapter 7! Thanks for stopping by, and for all your wonderful comments and support!

Delightful image... Sorry to hear about your computer woes... Its always something isn't it. Glad to hear Jo is doing better!
Sounds like it may be time to reinstall WinDoze. Hope your woes come to an end soon, whether that solves it or not.
They look so cute with those lovely summer dresses! Same here, Big Bro, taking a hiatus too. My muse is not working for now. Hope Jo is feeling better now!
I envy the Girls for taking a vacation. I just wish I could. A Great image you've produced here, Rod. Glad to hear that Jo is doing better. Have a great Sunday
A June hiatus sounds good. A romp through rural NY would be fun and educational for Kinnie.
BSOD. My laptop is almost as old, but nowhere near as powerful. DAZ Studio or something made my taskbar disappear (but the Windows button remained), which prompted a reboot. If these things keep up I might have to reinstall everything.
I'm glad Jo is doing a lot better! Please let you both have good health from now on!
Simply great!
Good luck with your pc!!!! I hope the girls have a blast! (er... the fun kind!!!)
The girls look great in front of that pristine '54 Chevy! I hope they enjoy their vacation! Glad to hear some of your families health problems are getting better. Sorry to hear of your computer woes! I can relate! I bought a new on in 2017 with windows 10 already on it. I am no fan of windows 10. The resident photo viewing program sucks big time! Takes forever for the first image to display and from there on, it is down hill. LOL! But then, I guess I just like to complain. What can I say. I still have an older backup computer I bought in 2013 or 2014, can't remember which. From Wal-Mart. It actually has more ram (16 gig) than my new one (8 gig). but can't put any of the chips in my new one, darn. Haven't priced out more ram for the newer on. It does most everything I want it to do so why bother. Just wasted expense on my account. Sorry to ramble! Hope you have a great day!!!!
Yeah, I agree about that W-10 photo viewer.. blah..
Nicely done
This is the right time of year to explore upstate NY! I spent a vacation there up in the early 2000's and it was so relaxing and there was a ton of fun wildlife to see (even a salamander!) May your and Jo's health (and computer) continue to improve!
Crap just keeps rolling down hill my friend. I know it stresses u out, does me when it happens.
The gals are hotter then lava my friend. See you soon I hope. Happy both you are feeling better. I can't take that long off, I would miss my friends and their art too much.
I won't be gone that long.. For the same reasons... 😉
The girls deserve a break. (you do, too) They look like they're wearing their comfy traveling outfits and are ready to go.
So sorry about the computer troubles. I'm still running windows 7 and I don't wanna give it up. I'm glad Jo is feeling better, the warm weather should be helping, too.
Thanks for the shout-out on AOFM.. it was a surprise.
This is definitely calendar material, how you get them all to smile at the same time and not blink is beyond me!
Nice one...
awesome scene and render. the ladies are looking fine. windows 10 removed several options that was available in w 7. Edge is one issue. it stays no matter what. now one can not remove the pesky service that windows included with 10. before an update it was removable, but not now. I can not think of the name right now
They are looking lovely Rod and the Chevy looks great with that paint job. Hate PC issues. I think it may be hard disk corruption. Bad sectors. Maybe you want to replace the hard disk with an SSD. It is very cheap now a days and it will increase the speed of everything.
I just saw a 1TB SSD for 90 bucks at Microcenter... VERY tempting...
Yeah, a road trip sounds pretty good about now. Glad to hear the wife is doing better. I really need to start spending more time here. Miss you guys.
We miss you too, good sir!
Very nice image Rod!! The gals look happy, and seem to be enjoying their vacation! Glad that Jo is feeling better....
Your girls always look like they are having fun!!! So glad your Jo is doing better. I hope your PC keeps running!.
The girls look beautiful, as usual. Nice work.
I want to shoot some baskets with them
Very sexy girls, great work !
Wonderful image my friend :)
A well realised scene with these hotties !! Excellent work !
Well they certainly look like they are prepared for a lovely summer...I too am taking some time off from Posering, etc. since I redamaged a torn rotator--must keep the arm somewhat still...glad you and Jo have so far not been blown away or washed out of your house :)
Essentially, what everyone preceding me said.
Very nice girls and wonderful scene!!!
Awesome image!
If you look around hard enough you might just find a brand new computer, there are sales all the time. You need a good quad core with a SSD.
