Every inport brief was basically the same:



I might as well have given the young sailors a map of where to go

The remains of a prehistoric house from the bronze age settlement of Akrotiri in Santorini.
The settlement was destroyed in the Theran eruption sometime in the 16th century BC and buried in volcanic ash.


Major Roman tunnel on Mount Salviano.
The creation of tunnels were one of many engineering projects that the Romans had to devise in order for the supply of water to reach the aqueducts. It was a considerable feat of engineering and construction that saw the Romans tunneling through hills and, if needed, even mountains. The method was similar to the system they used to build lines for straight roads: they laid out a number of posts at given intervals and this gave them straight lines. Even more remarkable, while tunneling they also constructed vertical shafts which brought fresh air to those actually doing the physical labor.





This is claimed to be just computer graphics not a human model. If so, the future of movies is going to be much different. No more jerk actors and scandals or huge salaries. It is obvious that your men and boys are the target audience for this character.

Yeah. I didn't realize he was the original actor be be cast as the Predator in the movie. The original creature design sucked and Van Damme hated it and passed out repeatedly from the heat. He wanted to do his kickboxing and was (most likely) ultimately fired from the role.

This is how an expensive clutch job is done.








Turn right at the fork in the road!


Sevier County, Tennessee, 1910...
Group photograph of a road crew in Laurel, Tennessee. The men would work on the road crew for six days out of the year in lieu of paying taxes. Two children are standing in front of the men.

This looks deliberate and personal to me.

With a VW truck you are always the first one to arrive at the scene of an accident.

That's not an axe


this is an axe. broad axe w/14" blade.

A 33-horse hitch harvesting wheat. Circa 1900. I wonder how much that rig cost to have all those horses stabled, fed, and taken care of compared to a internal combustion tractor. Different maintenance, but more production for sure with a machine.










The 1960 Corvair dash baby cradle. A safe, comfortable way to carry your baby before car seats were even a concept... Warmest place in the car, it has a rear engine, and the engine vibrations lulls the baby.

^^^^^^What's the story on that one?^^^^

Probably what killed Ralph Nader

You might be a redneck if you have ever heard the phrase, honey, can you move the transmission, I need to take a bath!


Otoe women and boy in Oklahoma Territory - circa 1885


Found in a junkyard in the desert, rescued and restored to it's original glory. 1947 Norman Timbs Special

Yeah but he backed out of the predator thing because he thought it would not give him enough visibility..
I guess he's not as dumb as some of the roles he plays

pretty sure its oxydation not corrosion
if it were corrosion the statue would have been gone by now.

oxidation = protective layer. which makes it durable in time

normal copper corrosion is insignificant it is considred a noble metal
to actually corrode copper, there would have to be some ammonia, salt, sulfar or acids involved.
I doubt acid rain is enough

My brother and I used to be able to sleep together in the similar well in my Dad's '63 Beetle. We are both now in the 230-250#, 6'+ range! Ha!

The statue of liberty is corroded, and the green color is, I believe, not a direct result of oxidation, but oxidation is a part of the process. - https://www.corrosionpedia.com/definition/1258/oxidized-copper

"Oxidized copper is a specific type of corrosion that is produced during a three-step process where copper oxidizes to copper oxide, then to cuprous or cupric sulfide, and finally to copper carbonate. It results in a green-colored copper layer or patina that forms over time.

Oxidation is one form of metallic corrosion, which is a reaction that occurs during an ionic chemical reaction when oxygen is present on the metal’s surface. During this process, electrons move from the metal to the oxygen molecules. Thereafter there is a generation of negative oxygen ions in the metal, thus leading to the creation of a surface laden with oxide. In the case of copper, this oxidation occurs as a result of the exposure of copper to air, although salt water, acidic compounds and heat can also induce corrosion.

Corrosion of most metals can cause serious damage and become a dangerous hazard if it affects infrastructure objects such as buildings, sewage pipes, ships and water supply pipes. However, copper corrosion is not as destructive because the copper forms a protective outer oxide layer that discourages further corrosion."

Corrosion can cause a protective layer. - https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/corrosion "I.C Passivity - Some metals, notably the stainless steels, titanium, aluminum, and chromium, corrode to form a thin film of corrosion product on their surfaces that greatly protects them from further attack. Carbon steels form a passive film that is only partially protective and is easily damaged."

Oxidation which is a type of corrosion can be a cause for the protective layer.

Thank goodness you aren't both still trying to sleep in the well of a '63 beetle.
