I spent today's afternoon at my friends family house. Lovely people, frindly and warm. I had a great time.
From a LUNAR launch. Thanks to Mike in Livermore, who called me the next day, having found this rocket way past the greenery in the background. It spent the night soaking in a river bank, but dried out nicely and should fly again…
I'm amazed at how many pieces of paper this thing alone took. I'm also baffled by the fact that it's actually two completely unconnected pieces in the game model. I sort of jerry-rigged a couple of slips of paper to keep the two pieces together. The tube that was also essentially four pieces of paper rolled up without any way of easily breaking them apart was a fun one to work with, too, but it worked.

Aircraft Restoration & Marketing (ARM) is a premier aircraft products and services corporation situated next to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. ARM claims over 26 years of experience offering a full range of aircraft related services. ARM dismantles, transports, refurbishes and seeks replacement parts for both government and civilian aircraft, for businesses and people internationally.
Okay, so far the commercial talk. On March 18 2010 I was able to visit ARM. Thanks for that.
At that moment their inventory contents the following aircraft or parts of it:
KC-97 (2), C-117 (20), C-119 (2), C-123 (1), C-130 (25), HC-131 (2), C-133 (1), HU-16 (3), P-3 (3), A-7 (1), T-37 (1), F-86 (5) and OV-1 (5). There were lots of nose sections i.e. B-52, DC-10, B727, B747, Viscount, F-101, F-106 etc.
After a quick look I suggest you can find almost a hundred aircraft at their site. You can imagine I had a great time overthere.
Always nice to have a bloke's arm around you. NB neither of these chaps were my boyfriend just guys that wanted to pose with their arm around me, sorry to disappoint.
I think the hardware is pretty much all assembled now! The batteries went together today and now connect up to everything, although I may mount them a bit more permanently in the future. The buzzer's held on with tape but it's light weight and protected by the case; everything else is bolted on.
This robot will use its camera to track the user, following them around and taking photos to store to the SD card. The software's progressing nicely enough - at the moment I can clearly see what's on the screen, but it's only a small fraction of the total image and the colours are not yet accurate. The chip doesn't have enough RAM to hold the entire image on the screen at once unfortunately, but I should be able to process each line before the next one comes in.
The robot uses an ARM Cortex-M3 STM32F103VBT6 microprocessor with a TCM8230MD camera from SparkFun, an OLED screen module on the back (also from SparkFun) with a navigation switch, modified servos for motors, various voltage regulators for the camera and main circuitry, a ball bearing caster on the bottom, a piezo buzzer to make it beep at you, three 1100mAh lithium polymer batteries (one for the main systems and two in series for the servos), PCBs made by Golden Phoenix in China and some standard power LEDs as headlights.
A basic STM32 breakout board that exposes several I2C, SPI, USART etc interfaces as well as a simplified JTAG interface and several power pins. A miniUSB plug is connected to the STM32's USB peripheral and two LEDs sit on timer channels. The switches are power on/off and boot selection: bootloader or user code.

So, my most recent stitches didn't heal well. One side's top and bottom don't even touch and the other side's top is like on a whole different plane from the
bottom.
The larger reach of local air pollution source extraction system is the more unstable it becomes. You can swing the boom on the wall. You can rotate the arm on the tip of the boom and you can swing back under with the use of middle pivot joint. Boom is counter supported with heavy rod from wall. Built like a crane.

Ginger summed it up best: "one of mike's favorite pasttimes is to have girls arm wrestle each other"
Paige has long since loved the water but hated the restraint that accompanied a trip to the pool. Marna picked up a number of floatation devices for her one day and started trying them out. Paige immediately took to the freedom that inflatable arm bands gave to her - lovingly referred to as "arm floatie things" by Marna and I.
Of course we stay as near to her as she'll let us, but just far enough away to not get a Paige scolding. Paige will kick her legs behind her, try to pull her legs out of the water in front of her, twirl around in rolls, and as of today hold her breath with her face in the water. One of the lifeguards was so impressed with her comfort around water, and her ability, that he suggested that "if we let her go without the arm bands, that she'd probably come right back up.
I don't know about all that, but we're eager to get Aunt Casey over for swim lessons. Water has been a big part of mine and Marna's life together, and we look forward to including Paige to the fullest extent. For now though, it's complaints from her about the pain the arm bands cause when removed (because they grip the skin somewhat). We're thinking of moving to another floatation form-factor in the near future.
Oh, because I get asked a lot about it, I use a Canon waterproof housing (WP-DC800) for my little Canon point and shoot (S500) to get these types of water photos.
