Ha, funny thing is I'm half way through block mounting (framing) an Endless Summer print for in the cabana. The paint is drying as we speak.

With some work, yes. But not the right size for me so they will be used for decor.

I could see that hanging in a bar like the one on Magnum PI, you know, Rick's place.

I was thinking of hanging it on one of my outdoor decks, so very similar. Thanks, Scott.

Iconic, Bill. I have a 3x5 Endless Summer banner flag I bought a while back. Has some fraying so I took it down. May repair and fly it again one day. Show us a pic of yours, please!

I got this Sharp EL-8 calculator from the neighbors cleanout and just sold it for 250. I had no idea.

This is it here Baz. When the paint has dried on the plywood I'll glue it down block mount style, then I'll spray paint it with about four coats of car quality clear coat so it survives being outdoors.

Thanks, Bill....so cool!

[Bill Douglas]

Thanks, I'll see how it looks block mounted and hung in the cabana.

[Bill Douglas]

It came out alright.

It's Friday afternoon here, so I'l see how it looks when I'm having pizza and pinots al fresco in a few hours time.

[Baz]

Perfect, Bill! Really sets the right atmosphere!

[Bill Douglas]

LOL, thanks!

Picked up this East German camera from the early 50's.
Putting a roll of film thru it to see if it works.

Since that's got plenty of red isn't it going to fade like crazy?

I know here in TX or in FL it would barely be recognizable in 2-3 years because of the sun.

OK, mostly shielded from the sun.

Taking Mom some provisions this morning and in her neighborhood, someone throwing this away.

The glass is broken - but frame, matting, and print worth saving.

Pretty cool with the tropical garden theme and how about that huge Furcraea in the planter to the right!

^. That looks like a photo of one of the courtyards inside The Bonnet House in Ft Lauderdale...

Likely the hutch to a china cabinet - where the base is MIA.

I'm pleased it has survived it's first few days. A filthy storm has hit - LOTS of rain and big winds. I'd give it an expected life span of three months .

Pretty happy about this deal! I saw one of those portable torches on Varage sale, but it was already marked pending. Couple hours later I saw the exact one on Facebook marketplace, so I jumped on it pretty quickly.
I guess the original buyer never picked it up. It actually turned out to be two sets of bottles, two sets of regulators, and two welding torches with hoses. Along with one tote.
