What I´d like to see this Week is that you get in close. I have purposely not called this Macro because I know some of you will be limited as to how close you can go with your equipment so just get as close as possible.
Restriction: No Flies, Insects or Flowers look for something else
Dare: Take a Mundane Household item and make it beautiful.

My much used pizza cutter, a soft light source camera right, Lightroom for colors and contrasts and Photoshop Elements for blacking out the background.
30mm hole cutter minus its pilot drill was used to cut around the damaged seat bolt. A custom made guide was used to hold the 30mm cutter in place over the bolt. This was a two man job so Liam gave up a few hours of his time to help me
A down on view of the retired 180ft Coast Guard cutter Sundew wintering in the former Huron Cement slip. I took this from the 4th floor window of the Pier B Resort where my wife and I spent the night. The Sundew is privately owned by trucking magnet Jeff Foster who takes the vessel out on trips through out the summer and early fall season for various local organizations.
This is the Fog Cutter, a classic tiki cocktail created by Trader Vic in the early 1940's. While the Zombie would characterize Donn Beach's maximalist secretive approach to his tiki creations, I feel like the Fog Cutter shows Trader Vic's mixing style best. Trader Vic would readily grab ingredients from Europe like orgeat and lemon. While this drink looks "Old World" on paper, it's distinctly tropical. As for the naming it the Fog Cutter, Trader Vic said, "Hell, after two of these, you won't even see the stuff"
I'll admit that my first attempt at this concoction was underwhelming. The flavor profile was so busy that the nuance of the other ingredients were lost to the odd juice proportions. It wasn't until I found Paul McGee's retooled version that I fell in love with this drink. Below is Trader Vic's original version.
2 oz fresh lemon juice (!!)
1 oz fresh orange juice
0.5 oz orgeat
2 oz white cuban-style rum
1 oz Cognac
0.5 oz gin
0.5 oz cream sherry (as a float)
McGee's version made three important changes. The first is dialing back lemon juice to normal levels. Second is swapping the light rum for rhum agricole. This pivots the drink's profile to be a rum focused drink. The rhum agricole's grassy profile can shine through more distinctly. Lastly, he substituted dry curaçao for the orange juice. Orange juice tends to dominate a drink's flavor profile. McGee's version, in my mind, finishes what Trader Vic started, a complex, tropical old-world-meets-the-caribbean cocktail.
1 oz rhum agricole
0.5 oz Cognac
0.5 oz London dry gin
1 oz fresh lemon juice
0.5 oz dry curaçao (I recommend Pierre Ferrand)
0.75 oz orgeat
0.5 oz amontillado sherry
Combine all of the ingredients into a shaker tin. Add ice and shake until arctic cold. Strain into an ice filled chilled collins glass or tiki mug. Garnish with a orange half-wheel, mint, umbrella, whatever you feel like.

A quote from ‘The Wind in the Willows’ 'Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. These next few images mirror my thoughts. We have, over the years, walked many a coastal mile, not far from boats. We’ve been on the water on more than a few occasion and enjoyed every minute. Hope that you enjoy these moments in time.
This first batch was taken locally, along the River Blackwater at Heybridge Basin, Essex.
Leaf cutter bees (Megachile) are solitary bees that live in burrows.--- They cut circular pieces from leaves to line them. Grape and rose leaves are a few of their favorites.
Megachile bees rake pollen from the flowers and pack it into the hairs on the underside of their abdomens. (The hairs can be seen in this image.)
There are over 65 species of Megachile bees in Florida.

1984 Bayfield Cutter 29'. Boat is in great condition with a beautiful hull design that only draws 3.5' She sports a cutter rig and a classic clipper bow. She is powered by a Yanmar 2GM that runs great. She sports stainless lewmar winches, roller furling yankee and roller furling staysail, A/C, Garmin GPS, and VHF. Everything on this boat operates as it should. She has an intelligent layout that gives her interior the feel of a much larger boat. She has engine access from down below, as well as in the cockpit making engine maintenance a breeze. All lines run aft to the cockpit so she is easily singlehanded. Her yankee and staysail are like new, and the main is in excellent condition. Asking $12,500
Ice-Cutter is a one-off model I designed taking inspiration from the Ice-Planet Lego theme. He is not a part of my Henchman gang, as he doesn't really fit in there.
His design borrows elements from Hazard, Mortar, and Lava.
He uses Trans-Neon Orange wheels that were exclusively released as part of individual 4 packs that mirrored the Bionicle mask packs that would follow. I also learned that there were Gold and Silver prints of the talisman wheels that I will likely never own in my lifetime lol.
Lego intends to phase out the Trans-Neon Orange color soon despite it being tied to their identity.

Made a custom Cutter for my new Chap Mei boat I found on a flea market for €2,-. Obviously based on the Cobra Hydrofoil, but it's still pretty cool, and I love the anti-air gun (wich can be detached).
The Coast Guard Cutter Taney, the last surviving warship from the attack of Pearl Harbor.
Built in 1936 and was in continuous service until 1986. In addition to Pearl Harbor, TANEY saw action throughout World War II [as] well as the Vietnam Conflict. Peacetime duties included search and rescue, ocean weather station, fisheries patrol, and drug interdiction. Today, TANEY continues to serve as a tribute to seagoing services and as a "living classroom."
Its open for public as part of the Baltimore Maritime Museum at Inner Harbor.
