So....
I kinda had to take a break from the 365 project.
Which, means that I failed.
Which sucks.
But I am OK with it.
Because I am going to complete it anyways.
Sigh.
Forgive me?
hahaha. EPIC FAIL. the one trying to climb on top is Jo.

I tried to make a gouge from a masonry nail (supposedly hardened steel). After annealing, I used a Dremel and stone to cut the inside of the gouge, then hand filed the outside sweep and the bevel. Then I heat-treated it, quenched it in oil, and tempered it at 400F.
The handle is cut from some green wood from fallen branches I found near a creek during a lunchtime walk. A short length of copper pipe serves as a ferrule.
Unfortunately, after I sharpened the gouge, I tried it out, only to have the edge bend back on itself. A test with another masonry nail showed that I seemed to have heated it hot enough for heat treatment (a magnet no longer stuck), but the metal was still softer than a file after quenching. This is a good reminder to test unknown steel before you make your tools!
I found that the handle also fits 6-inch files, so all is not lost.
As calls to rebuild the economy with better jobs reverberate across the country, Walmart workers and their supporters today announced the largest mobilization since Black Friday, set for Thursday, September 5.
The announcement comes as Walmart has failed to meet a Labor Day deadline to reinstate illegally fired and disciplined workers, publicly commit to improve jobs and end the company’s aggressive violations of workers’ rights. Thousands of workers and their supporters plan to protest on Thursday in over a dozen cities across the country.
“Walmart, we cannot wait any longer for you to do the right thing for American workers. Our jobs should not be at risk when we speak out about improvements that would help our families and Walmart customers,” said a Cindy Murray a Walmart worker who was recently arrested for protesting at Walmart’s Washington, DC offices. (LINK) Murray has worked at Walmart for 13 years. “Walmart employees like me are not making enough to support our families even though we work at the country’s largest company.”
Among the 15 cities nationwide participating in this protest, Hyattsville, Md. where hundreds of Walmart workers and supporters joined outside of the Walmart store in the Capital Plaza shopping center today to call on the company to reinstate illegally fired and disciplined workers, improve jobs and end the company’s aggressive violations of their rights.
Refusing to leave intersection of Annapolis Road and 65th Avenue without a meaningful response from Walmart, three workers and three community allies, were arrested.

IF WE WANT TO SAVE THE EURO WE HAVE TO REBUILD ITS FOUNDATIONS.. .Micheál Martin TD, Leader of Fianna Fáil..Seminar on ?Where now for EMU?..ELDR Congress, Saturday 10th November 2012..Pictured at the Seminar on ?Where now for EMU?. ELDR Congress, Saturday 10th November 2012.. .Micheál Martin TD, Leader of Fianna Fáil..Senator Jean Arthuis, Vice President of Union of Democrats and Independentsin Charge of European Affairs...One of the many positive features of this Congress has been how everyone has been willing to be direct in their contributions. If ever there was a topic which needed people to push aside the formalities and speak directly it is the future of Economic and Monetary Union.. .In 1989 Jacques Delors set out a roadmap for the creation of the Euro and it took only three years before the then member states signed the Maastricht Treaty. It was a project which carried with it the hopes and expectations of the continent. Today confidence in it has collapsed and its foundations are far from secure.. .The fact is that we cannot today be sure that the Euro will survive this crisis intact. We have a moment of relative peace in the crisis, but it is nonetheless a severe crisis which will do immense further damage unless extra action is taken.. .As was said yesterday by Guy Verhofstadt, the Eurozone's net debt position should be entirely manageable in the context of the situation in the rest of the world. Yet it costs dramatically more for Euro countries to secure funding and sovereign debt markets are deeply sceptical of Europe.. .This hasn't happened by accident, it has happened because the Eurozone and elsewhere is that our currency has fundamental design flaws. Even Jacques Delors has acknowledged this.. .As it is currently structured the Economic and Monetary Union cannot be a zone of stability and growth. It doesn't matter how often we recommit ourselves to respecting its rules, unless those rules change then the fundamental dynamics behind this crisi
In order to succeed in Life, we must make our failures important lessons along the way.
Watched a good friend loose his first mma fight tonight but I am sure he will come back stronger than before. I have failed in many ways but I always try to learn from my mistakes.
"And why do we fall Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up."
She's got the hair, face, and attitude...now if only she could do something
about her hang time. Think she needs to go to jump school at her aunt's for
a few days.
3rd attempt to route the cable to the ankle, and I still can't get anything out of it: dead foot. These brake levers only give you about 1cm of movement along the line, and with .25cm of slop in the joint already, I can't seem to get more than 15˚ of motion for the ankle when I need at least 90˚. Fail.
Either I build my own hand levers out of aluminum tomorrow, or I give up and attach the control rods directly to the feet - which sounds like a much less stressful solution. I was originally going to go for attaching directly to the feet, but I was feeling adventurous this morning... not feeling so adventurous anymore.
This was a test shot at ISO 3200 to see where the cactus was in the frame. I forgot that I don't even own a shutter release cable and when I tried taping a rock on the shutter to hold it down it came off in 10 minutes when I left it there for an hour. I gave up.
She was supposed to stand still and I were supposed to put focus right. We both failed a bit.. Still it was a good place to take a photo so I'm sticking with this one.

Bucky the Beaver had been working on this 20 cm young cottonwood all last autumn. But he miscalculated and felled it too close to the adjacent tree in which it hung up. So he chocked it up as a learning experience and left it hanging. It will be interesting to see if it ever does fall on its own. Cottonwood Island Park, Prince George, BC. April 21, 2022.
Minolta x700, Canon AE-1, failed development. When you learn, you learn! Sharp magenta coloration due to low temperature in development, causing emulsion to not fully degrade. Highlights and shadows have extreme editing to save any detail left on film. It was a beautiful day on the dunes, nonetheless.
If the valve gear failed on one side of a Garratt, the crew would 'centre and secure' the unit by removing the gear and wedging the valve into mid gear with blocks of wood. The repair normally took about 75 minutes - even with up to 40 guests watching the procedure. The train could then proceed with a two thirds load on the remaining three cylinders. This happened a number of times on our Rail Safaris tours, sometimes running the remainder of the tour, up to 800 kilometres, in that manner. The locomotive bounced around a bit, but we never had to replace it for this reason. Here, the driver is knocking out a pin with his hammer and the fireman's coal hammer.

"Whatever your mood, get started on what you need to do, start working and keep going for ten minutes.
Pretend to be enjoying yourself. Pretend that what you're doing is very important. Pretend that what you are doing absolutely needs to be done - for whatever reasons.
I guarantee that after just a few minutes, you will feel your mind 'catch up' with the pretense - and you will begin to enjoy what you are doing.
It's weird how this works - but it does."
paraphrased from "The Easy Way to Write" by Rob Parnell.
And, PS: people don't want to be around someone who is a downer, so pretend you are up and make them feel good and not pity you!!!
Our room is apparently not ventilated enough for a gas fire in the lounge. Not that we ever use it anyway, at least never during the day with Joshua around.
Aerial view from of boom meant to protect the coast of Raccoon Island, a barrier island off Terrebonne Parish drifts away from the islands shore where officials reported oil washed up on May 13, 2010 is a bird sanctuary . Splotches of oil and oil sheen from the B. P. well that has been leaking oil into the Gulf of Mexico since April 20th 2010, are visible in the waters around the island. The island is the breeding ground for numerous species of bird including Brown Pelican, Louisiana's State bird.

failed, but i still wanted to put this up.
Since the pano is such a wide image, it's hard to appreciate just how big in the sky this storm cloud was. It took me 5 pics at 18mm to fit it all in. It was raining a couple hundred yards out from the pier, but here it seems so far away.
and you should really really view this large!
This was taken in Raleigh, NC. Someone was actually still in the car when everyone gathered around to take pics,
Held together even though ptfe barrel is totally stripped. Temp control was MUCH improved. It worked great until it started to ooze around the nut. :(
A " Fail Pig" graffiti found at Jl Fatmawati Jakarta is a testament of the current Twitter craze in Indonesia.
i got bored so i decided to edit a photo. and i guess i over edited. FAIL.
yes, that is me. haters gonna hate.
Day 23 : Scrap the not so fun stuff. [Generally I love my job...but sometimes you just have those days when Murphy's law is in effect. Today was one of those days. And I'll admit...I was slightly avoiding the seriousness of the topic. Another day...]

"Shit always hits the fan when I'm working. Snowstorms. Percon dying during inventory. Flooding. Exploding toilets. Broken entry doors. Alarms that won't stop & power outages. Killer geese. It never fails! At least I have some awesome co-workers who keep me laughing & smiling-and who save the day by saving lunch! Adventures!"
