Hi, I'm Dave :^)
I've learned that Art is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration! I started CGA as a hobby early 2004. This site is huge, so if you have seen any of my material, then thank you for taking the time.
BIO:I'm a widowed Electronics and Software design Engineer living in Southern California, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
My late wife Robin.. passed in 2003 after 31 wonderfully married years, the last 7 of which Robin was in poor health. I miss my Babe so much...
I'm working with Poser5, Bryce5.5, Wings3D, PSP-10 and CorelPaint8.My mother (Elnor) is also on this site as Silkylady. If you get a chance, please drop by her gallery and see her work.
Finally, remember these words of wisdom:
1) Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff.2) If your only tool is a hammer then all your problems will look like nails.3) It's amazing what can be accomplished when one doesn't know what one can't do.4) Very few know how much one must know in order to know how little one really knows.5) Give a man fire and you heat him for awhile. Set a man on fire and he is heated for life.6) Complexity is a set of things that we figured how to do right, one built on top of the other, until failure is achieved.7) Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.8) Marriage is a place where you can be wrong in ways you never thought possible.9) If a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman hears him.. is he still wrong?10) If at first you don't succeed, then cover up all previous attempts that failed.
Please enjoy your visit! Dave :^)(AKA: 'davidoblad','DLO')

I agree, I had an accident and the party that hit me come from a parking lot and two lanes of traffic to hit me in the center lane turning left, he came from my right and I was found 20% at fault. I believe it was so both insurance companies can raise our rates and you have no say in the matter unless you have a lot of money to fight them. Love the humor in your image, fantastic:):):)...V

Dave this proves without the shadow of a doubt that you no longer have a trampoline and will most certainly satisfy your insurer. However ol buddy I foresee major trouble heading your way. Dave did you really think things through before sending this photo??? From what I gather your insurer is staffed with competent and intelligent people who upon receipt of this photo will realize that you were pulling a fast one on them all along. Fact they will now see that the trampoline was in fact a cover up to hide what you where up to. You will now be accused of importing illegal game for resale, and profit namely Shark,and Raptors a felony I belive. This information will be forwarded to the IRS and I know that at that point insurance will be the least of your worries. I trust that you have kept your tax returns since the day you were born. I do not wish to alarm you ol friend but I sincerely believe that your up coming holiday may be spent behind bars. I only hope that you will have access to a computer while in the slammer. You can then forward a photo to your insurer showing that you have re-installed the trampoline and finally get yourself out of this awful mess.Stay cool it will all work itself out ! he-he ! Your ol buddy George..........."V" (for daring do) he-he!!!!!!!! ps most excellent photo they will like it too !!!!!!!

ROTFL! You go, Dave! There are politicians and there are insurance companies; neither ones make sense half the time! Where I live, they practically did this with the pool and spa. Even welded 3/6 gates shut, one was a handicapped accessible gate. I will never pass by the pool or the rec area and not think of this image again. I can't even have a small ashtray or plant on my 6 inch balcony handrail now as it might "plummet to the ground and cause devasting destruction to the community" according to insurance reps! I'm so glad you sent this and I just know someone got a laugh on the other end. This is just too funny and well done and you are your sense of humor knows no bounds! Way beyond my imagination for certain! The only thing missing are snipers on the neighbors roofs, but perhaps they are there in fatiques! Outstanding work and kudos to you!

ROFLMAO!!!! This is just perfect! You are such a criminal Davester! I just love the sign! LOL! They should send omeone out IMO, you are absolutely right! I love your twisted mind and renders! Carry on! Fight the good fight! :)
melevos

jocko500
you right 100%
Silkylady
Dave, all you have to do now, is make up copies of this, pass them around to the neighbors and inform them the insurance hounds are on the prowl. that would put them on alert. Love the pic and your sense of humor...VOTE...Silkylady...
danamo

brylaz

voske

TheBryster
I think the junk-yard dog is outclassed here..... Great pic and story. Good luck with the insurers!
wildfire2003
LOL!! At least not one anyone would care to get to. Too funny and thanks my friend for the chuckle! I especially love the shark moat, excellent, vote and hugs!!
donniemc0
sir, i can clearly see a trampoline situated under the dog so that would clearly consist of a breach of conditions.your policy should be cancelled forthwith....However if you wish to take out our "backyard shark attack,with third party raptor fire and theft" policy, we may offer you a small discount on our new "deathly trampoline" policy....say 1 percent? (we also do pet insurance) have a nice break..great render!!!
Digimon
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Priceless! They suck, you rule! Find another carrier!
aliensprog
Nicely done! This is much safer than those trampolines. Stupidity knows no bounds! Stick it to the idiots.
grandma1
This is so funny! I hope you really did send this to them. I would love to see the expression on their face when they got it! Excellent job Dave!
davidoblad
The lengths one takes to protect the trespassers from the dangers of those insidious trampolines..lol.
csneller
No trampoline even after such security measures??
llorna
Glad to see you have complied with the insurance company's concern as to the safety of the trampoline. Now....what are you going to do as to the issue of the sharks??!
Burpee
I personally would have loved a couple of gun turrets, LOL!!!!! This is outstanding!! What a hoot! I do believe they want a photograph that they can take into court if you ever have a trampoline accident so they won't have to cover you.
Bea
This is brilliant - however - I am quite glad you are not one of my neighbours. :) :)
Chorny
YOU GO DAVE!! Stick it to the man,This pic is Great Love every detail!
