that thing is loud! they started it up at the Rodeo Drive car show, and you could hear if for quite a ways. The "future" could have been real interesting with turbine cars driving around

Walking down the hill just N. of Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow. I have no idea why a doll was tied to the fence...


Some road between Glasgow and Faslane, up there in Scotland...

This was taken by a friend of mine on a recent flight from DCA to ATL......if the jet crashed on the leg, his "floaty" would be the least beneficial thing he could wear.

I love my phone, but the built in camera sucks. I'd rather have had a lower res camera that took better shots than 3MP. Anyway, I took this in the Home Depot parking lot this past weekend. In the land of trucks, this was a pretty amazing site, I thought. Mine is the red one on the right.

Built the cabinet myself with wobbly saw, belt sander, and router. Perfect to square within 1/32nd. Then discovered walls and floor were not square.

Nice handiwork! Wish I could be as 'do-it-yourself' as you are! (Would have saved a bundle of $$!)

Thanks for sharing!

ok, enough of the pets. No one thinks their cute or adorable except you, the owner. Isn't there a seperate thread for that?

No Z, you really don't want to be handy. Really. There is a reason for white hair at 40.
Spent hours/day bluprinting measurements to match the other cabinets(overhang, end spacing, carcass) then found the slide-out rack was too big. Take half of it apart before the glue dries, re-blueprint and re-do. Doesn't match the other.
Discover slide-out garbage requires an extra $30 special-order-who-knows-when bracket and weld own, knicking finger in process, going to hospital, and getting $1400 stitches. Back hurts after dragging carcass outside to sand on for the 15th time. Have to drive to the store for the correct hardware again...
Milt, augh feeel yur pain.

Anyways... back to the regular scheduled programming:
Pet caterpillar. Check your own hand and mentally uncurl this thing. It was big.

Early AM is the time to hunt those, I pick them off with a clothes pin. Have not seen one this year.

met with some clients about listing a beautiful old farm about 25 minutes from town. They are going to divide the parcel between the cleared & wooded areas, so I went out with the owner to walk & mark the lot.

At the back of the cleared lot, there is a spot where the old trucks & implements were left for mother earth to reclaim them:

A scan is like a photo, right?

Some scans of sketches I did for a hobby type project/experiment. Just grabbed a magazine I was reading.
