The Vetter Family: 18 Years

February 19, 2010

18 Years

I'm in Austin with Kim and family. We suddenly decided to celebrate our 18th wedding/marriage here at home. Kaley and I just played pool and shuffle board. Kim's mom will travel with the family back. The Element only has room for four which leaves me here alone. Shoot!!! Who knows if I'll ever get back to Hoooooston!!!??!!!

Keith - Two years later - I am using ChatGPT as my copilot for programming these days. It now keeps conversation, so I can build on the previous questions. I pretty much no longer use google or stackoverflow for anything....(chatgpt)

Keith - This may be the fish-eye from Kovi's 16th birthday....(house of j)

Keith - I am using ChatGPT for work. It helped me write a well-formed JSON file the other day. I fed it a file I generated, then it corrected it for me. I've asked it all about the formation of the universe. It's amazing....(chatgpt)

Keith - Thanks, Robert!...(skating flat in eindhoven and covid)

Robert - Happy Birthday Keith!...(skating flat in eindhoven and covid)

Keith - See: Link To Cat In The Hat...(poem to kaley)

Keith - Vacation: I went to South Padre to catch the swell from Hurricane Nicholas. Surf wasn't great but still fun. I got a shaka from a guy standing on the beach. Next day I met him. Turns out he was Guy Takayama - a champion surfer/shaper and nephew of Donald Takayama. I showed him my Model T. Found out that there is a board restorer who lives in League City - Evelio Castillo. I gave Evelio my Model T. Since the repairs require a couple months of drying out the board, I got a used board at Surfhouse - another Takayama (Double Ender I think)! That board was in pretty bad shape actually, so turned that to Evelio too! So, I'm boardless right now, so fishing....(summer vacation day one)

Keith - Thanks!...(sunset in roses)

Kim Vetter - This one is even more beautiful than the others!...(sunset in roses)

Kim Vetter - So pretty! :)...(weeds)

Keith - If my eyes did not deceive me, I think Tom Brady just threw the Lombardi Trophe from his boat to another boat in a drunken stupor as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer.Tom Rules!...(tom brady)

Keith - No, I really need 5G! Gotta have it!...(patriots vs jets)

Keith - JR is long gone and Mimi just went into her litterbox, stuck her butt out the opening, and peed....(and i like mimi)

Anonymous - kewl...(dropping)

jantje - Haha...(is steven tyler reincarnated largemouth)

Keith - Well, it's not really mine. I did that pencil drawing from an image I found online. I think the artist that actually created it might be fun to contact and ask. Good luck!...(rat fink)

Joey Hume - Would it be possible to use this image as a tattoo or is that going beyond. Just asking!...(rat fink)

Robert - Thanks...next May for me, so I have a little while....(fifty)

Keith - Thanks, Robert :) Happy Almost-50 to you!...(fifty)

Robert - Happy Birthday Keith! I'm not far behind you.-Robert...(fifty)

Jeff Allison - Not A big deal my friend. I have been chasing a thief that is printing and selling T-shirts of this image, and just ran across your image in a search. I originally did the image you looked at for a buddy, for free, for his tattoo. That was about 12 years ago. Over the last few years tho I have caught multiple people selling stickers and T-shirts of it in the US, France, UK, Brazil, on Ebay, on FB t-shirt sies. I have also found that at least 14 people have it as a tattoo. Its actually pretty ironic that one of my most stolen images is a Rat Fink, which is technically me stealing stealing an idea... I think its great that you and so many other people like my version of a Rat Fink so much that they paint it or tattoo it and so on. Its cool that you actually took the time to trace or draw the image yourself also, and then paint it... for that, I have no issue at all.. its the guys that lift my image and start producing shirts and stickers they van sell that I care about... its all good.. I would love to see the...(more)

Keith - Okay, I think this deserves an explanation. First, there was no money involved. This was a one off fun thing I did for a neighbor. I did get a mini-Weber bbq pit for *hand painting* this on my neighbor's truck (along with a larger original work). I owe Jeff Allison a T-Bone steak :) Now that'd be fun!This drawing/tracing (unabashed copy) was a "study" before painting. I'd love to show you the painting.I really got into the drawing as I realized how involved it was.The truck pretty much sits in my neighbor's garage, so it's not even seen. However! I'd like to give you credit for it, on his truck, if possible. One day, he might actually drive the thing we call "Rusty", basically a throw-down refurbish of another neighbor's grandpa's pickup that sat in a field....(rat fink)

Keith - I think we may be living Benedictine :)...(fireworks)

Keith - Wait... should I give credit to Jeff Allison? :)...(rat fink)
