JOHN, I KEEP FORGETTING TO ASK, WHERE ARE YOU WITH THE BOOK?
Thanks for asking—I'm now over two years in—started in late February 2019. Obviously, the medical issues slowed me earlier this year.
Work has picked up over the last few weeks as I continue to improve. By your counting method, I now have 58 pictures. That adds up to 166 pages.
I think I've got at least another 15 or so pages to go. Some chapters feel pretty much done, while others are distinctly unfinished. Some fairly recent blog updates:

The current book description:

JOHN, YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE EDWARD GIBBON OF THE BUICK RIVERA.

AS TO FORMATTING, I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT BOOK CONSTRUCTION, BUT BEING DEVOTED TO THE KISS PRINCIPAL, I'D LIMIT THE SUBHEADS TO MODEL YEAR AND JUST BLEND THE NON-BUICK STUFF INTO THE NARRATIVE.

BEEN A VERY SATISFACTORY DAY. DIDN'T GET OVER 85, I GOT THE CARS SWITCHED, THE BUMBLEBEE PUT TO SLEEP, MOWED ABOUT 2/3 OF THE OBSTACLE COURSE, TOOK A NAPUS MAXIMUS, THEN MOWED THE REST.

THINK I'LL REWARD MYSELF A BOUBLE DOURBON ON THE ROCKS :-)
