I'll also eventually create another blog for the build of my next off road project. There is no content on the new site yet, but I'll be building and shaping the new blog as I go and shortly there should be a lot of stuff up. The new site is <a href="http://mcophoto.blogspot.com/">M.C.O. Photo</a>. I hope you enjoy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">-Mike</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/401633422843328282-809910951309994815?l=big-black-kj.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michael Ortonnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401633422843328282.post-69302084646595203402010-03-05T22:55:00.000-08:002010-03-05T23:40:38.411-08:00<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FLhDLqC10DU/S5IF1ypJngI/AAAAAAAAAbo/Gsms3bG6jmY/s1600-h/_DSC0013.jpg"><img style="display:block;
