An experimental scan of a tree core, as my scanner has a higher resolution than the one at work. This is the end of the wooden carrier, the core itself is glued onto it and currently facing downwards.
It worked pretty well; I couldn't scan at 4800dpi unfortunately, as I don't have enough RAM.. it was fine at 3200 though. Below is a sample of the scan - sharpened slightly, and oversampled (scaled down by 50%).
The ladies head towards the tyres
Ladies Motoring Evening with Annette Carey of The White Room, Chelmsford Carriage Company, and Drinks of France.
Here is an old-school tire shop in the city of Hollister, population 41,678. Photographically, I like the look of an old tire shop, but I never get a good picture. This one's good enough.
The fact that they handle "alignment" is a really weak jumping point (Covid brain fog) to discuss Hollister's place in the world of geology, because there are some fairly significant things going on here.
This town is one of the best places in the world to observe something called "aseismic creep." That does not refer to somebody who stalks but not in an earthshaking way. It refers to smoother-than-normal sliding movement along a transform fault, otherwise known as a strike-slip fault. You know, like the San Andreas I talked about several weeks ago. In Hollister's case, the San Andreas is about five miles west of town, but there's a branching fault called the Calaveras that runs right through here. And while most of the San Andreas moves in fits and starts, stuttering along in big earthquakes that release a lot of built-up stress all at once, the Calaveras releases that stress constantly, in a slow, creeping, constant movement. In short, the fault never gets stuck in a way that winds up jumping 20 feet in 45 seconds. It slides more gently along a few millimeters per year. It flows.
This means the Calaveras Fault, in its current condition, won't experience some big break that rattles the entire state with a 7.0 on the Richter Scale. But it also means that there are streets in town that are slowly but constantly moving past each other. Streets wind up offset. Curbs and sidewalks break. Houses get twisted, if they're built in the wrong spot.
I don't have a picture of any of this, because we didn't want to devote the time into looking for it. If I ever come back here, I'll hunt that down.
Working on the top part of the sculpt. This gentle curve is incredibly important to the overall look of the helmet.
Workforce Alignment workshop "Building strong partnerships to support Wisconsin’s workforce need." A conversation hosted by UW Oshkosh, Department of Workforce Development, Fox Valley Tech and WAICU.
I put a small mark on the rim of the element group showing where it separated from the threads in relation to Top Dead Center (TDC).
I wanted the hub to face my direction when I'm on the bike, and to also be facing up when the valve stem is at the bottom. A little trial and error before lacing up the wheel, and I got the alignment how I wanted it.
After multiple crashes my soapbox racer was is serious need of an alignment. Or bending the axle back into shape. A couple ratchet straps, one auto lift (thank you work), and some pry bars is all it took.
"There are two Route 66 alignments from Kingman southwest to the California border. The pre-1952 alignment along the Oatman Highway is by far the most beautiful, providing numerous photographic opportunities, legendary Route 66 icons, and a peek at the wild old west in historic Oatman, Arizona.
However, this old route travels through notorious Sitgreaves Pass, the most intimidating portion of Route 66, with its steep grades, narrow road, and sharp hairpin curves. In addition, the highway does not allow vehicles over 40 feet, so, if this is you, think about coming into Oatman from the south through Topock, an easier route."

The alignment on the left (the cockpit) has to coordinate with the alignment of the lines from the organizer further down the deck
