Those are some great pics, Bugs...and everyone else...I really love this thread!

Today I made a hanging bromeliad planter out of a cedar tree section. I reduced it's size a little with my chainsaw, lined the bottom with sphagnum moss, set 5 (1 gal. size) Neoregelia Fireballs into the moss after removing the pots, packed more moss in between, fastened some plastic screening on both ends to help contain everything on the two open ends, attached some eye hooks and rope and then hung from an Oak branch at my latest project (the Tom, Dick, and Harry raised beds project). These Fireballs branch like crazy over time and then as a growth habit will cascade down over the sides of this planter. With enough sunlight their leaves turn bright red...hence the name Fireball....customer is out of town until Friday so looking forward to their reaction when they see it.

Great juxtaposition

I took this pic in the late '80's. I think we were north of the Marshall Islands. I do not remember the Atoll.

I always wondered about the crew...ladder over the bow.

Wow....that's a cool pic, Paul! The crew probably went exploring, don't you think?

I went back today and installed a spotlight for my bromeliad log. That was the plan all along as I had left a long piece of low voltage cable wrapped around the tree as we proceeded with the project.

The kicker is I used an LED RGB MR16 bulb.....the customer is going to go nuts when they see this!

Hey Baz,

That looks freaking fantastic!!! I would love to do that here, however I don't believe our climate would support the tropical plants you get to play with. I guess I could go local fauna but I just do think it would have the "cool factor" like yours.

Cheers






Dropped this morning

When my daughter needed some professional photos at graduation, we used that DC3 as a prop...

Baz, was that log a section of old water pipe? How did it get hollowed?

Hahaha, I know! I was shocked to see it parked on the ramp here at the Auburn Airport. But man that would be cool to fly up and back in a DC-3. Especially if it was up the coast which I'm sure it wasn't due to the salt air and vintage parts. It was loaded with a bunch of folks and their dogs, at least that is what it appeared to be. Regardless, it was cool to see that sitting here on a beautiful day.

I did my first logbook entry from the Riverside Airport back in the day when I lived in Corona. Followed with flight training out of the Hemet-Ryan Aerobatic Flight Center in tail wheels, good times. I was able to play with an ECA, GCA, Stearman, T-6, T -28 and L-19. I miss those days......

BTW: those are great pictures of your daughter and the DC-3. Mr Proud PaPa you must be! I had forgotten that Flabob was EAA Chapter #1. We are #512 in Placerville, Old Hangtown.

My score from our Maui trip when we dined at "Fleetwood's" in Lahaina.

Patrick, go back to the first post I made - which shows how it was made....out of a piece of Cedar trunk. I just found the piece of trunk laying on the ground - part of some of the trees damaged bu our recent hurricane (Matthew) back in October.

Smart enough to include random pic, as well!
