Behind the rock tower is a cliff that drops about 1000 feet (305 m) to the Colorado River. That drop-off was spooky enough to keep me on this side of the tower.
This is slightly upstream from Horseshoe Bend and downstream from Glen Canyon Dam. The city of Page is out of view to the right. Power towers on the horizon carry electricity from the Navajo Generating Station. This was a cross-country hike to reach the apex of the first bend upstream from Horseshoe Bend, an area I explored the previous year.
Joe Tripod performed his usual magic by holding my camera rock-steady for this exposure.
Mugzie brand name traveling cups integrate the exceptional insulation and also water-proof buildings of neoprene wetsuit product as well as the effectiveness of a spill-proof, stainless-steel traveling cup. The Mugzie's special, hand-sewn material cover is made from 1/4 inch closed-cell neoprene that is covered operating soft,
To keep the house warm over the winter, we put insulation on most of the windows. This means it's a lot harder to see outside (some windows are set up so we can still see out) but when the sun shines directly on the window, the colors of the insulation are actually quite pretty... This is a window that is split between the aisle and the stairs (this is an "interesting" house). We closed to the door to the stairway to keep the cats from going upstairs where it's a lot cooler.
This refrigerator magnet contains my most favorite quote. An insulated coffee mug and two coffee cups; one give to each daughter before entering college also contain the quote. In my humble opinion, completeing the Apollo 13 mission under duress is the single greatest technological achievement of the 20th century, the quote is equally appropriate to raising teenage daughters. They like the disabled spacecraft threw numerous challenges to be met and overcome.
These now unused insulators are all along the side of this building and continue on a building across the street. A part of the history of Old Town Lansing.
American lunch container that's supposed to keep cold things cold in the bottom section (with a built-in cold pack), and hot things hot in the top section (the top is insulated and microwaveable). Top holds 12 fl oz of soup, bottom holds 2 cups of salad, and the lid to the bottom section has a built-in salad dressing dispenser that holds 2Tb. Exploded view here, and fully assembled view here (with carry strap). Got it for $15 at Bed Bath & Beyond. For my blog. EDIT: Not recommended as the gel circle broke/leaked upon second freezing (and others on Amazon reported the same problem).
This is a 40’ Canadian National insulated boxcar. This boxcar was built right at the end of 1959 and is distinct for having a plug door.
An abandoned and emptied insulation plant, there were some machines/documents left around but generally a nice light explore.
Insulated lunch bag with wide base for carrying bento lunches flat (not on their sides). Bought at the Sanrio store in Stonestown Mall in San Francisco for $15.
This home on Mercer Island utilizes the elemental natures of concrete, steel and glass to create a family refuge. Two concrete structures, which house the garage, mudroom, and a play area, present themselves to the street. Between them runs an exposed steel bridge which leads over a private courtyard and into the main house. A bent plate steel staircase descends into an open plan, double-height living space, which is dominated by an immense concrete fireplace and chimney (in the living room) and a massive black granite-covered island (in the kitchen). Floor to ceiling windows provide unimpeded views of the water from the courtyard or inside the house.

Project: 22,000-square foot Elder Center for the Puyallup Tribe of Indians
Project Cost: $10 million tribally-funded
Puyallup Tribe's new Elder Center, a.k.a House of Respect, is located near the Puyallup Tribal Health Authority and Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, on a site that previously housed a parking lot. The center has views of the Puget Sound and Olympic mountain range, and was designed with spaces for Puyallup Elders to learn, interact and relax. The center includes indoor and outdoor activity spaces, centrally located administrative offices, a banquet room for 200 and a library. It also has a health and wellness center with a traditional healing room, a fitness center, consultation and massage areas, a hydrotherapy pool, spa, sauna and steam rooms.
We were excited to supply Premier SIPs for a 12,000-square-foot green roof, designed to reflect the tribe's respect for the environment and cultural connection with the Puget Sound. The sloped roof has a variety of drought tolerant plantings.
In keeping with the elder's desire for a project that supports the Tribe's commitment to the environment, we are very excited to have supplied a 12,000 square foot green roof which included drought-tolerant plantings

The insulators are made up of individual units that are linked together. Each glass disc is about 12 inches in diameter and is comprised of a metal cap on the top side, and a metal pin on the under side. The glass in the middle acting as the insulation. Believe it of not, these caps and pins are glued (cemented) to the glass and can support a pull of about 12 tons!
A pulley hangs ready for the pull of the new wire.

Insulated Boxcar

"NOT A SOLID COLD, BUT A SOLID GOLD!
The name, solid cold comes from my all time favorite boxcar: The mechanically refriderated Solid Cold "reefer". The story of the Solid Cold is as follows: In 1982 Fruit Growers Express, or FGE (owned by CSX) needed to repair and upgrade their 20 year old existing fleet of RBL boxcars (insulated plug door cars with moveable load dividers). 2500 of these RBL cars were to be retrofitted with a modified load divider system, as well as installing Chemply fiberglass resistant lining to the sidewalls and upgrading the cushioned underframe and plug door system.
The new refurbished RBL cars cost a fraction of the price of what a new car would have cost ($12,000 vs $60,000). These rebuilt cars were as good as “gold” and as “solid” as a new car. To market these new cars to shippers, FGE had the new cars re-painted with a 3D looking scheme that read Solid Gold.
The first prototype out of shop (in Alexandria, VA) was to be stenciled “Solid Gold” on the right side. During stenciling however, part of the ‘G’ had slipped and the horizontal leg of the ‘G’ was missing therefore making it look like a ‘C’. The stencil blunder gave FGE the idea to market their mechanical reefer cars in companion-like fashion to the Solid Gold and at that moment the name SOLID COLD was born.
In 1987 CSX replaced their marketing director with someone new. In an effort to establish his “identity”, he changed the “Solid Cold” to “Real Cold”. About 50 cars were repainted in this new scheme. The concept and the individual behind it were laughed off the property. As another interesting note, in 1983 FGE retrofitted 50 RPL cars for Stroh’s beer, in which they installed a 20,000 gal stainless steel tank for moving product at a protected temperature. These 50 cars had “The Chiller” logo in the same script as the Solid Cold cars.
During later years and subsequent changes in ownership, Solid Colds began to bare reporting marks such as SFLC, BNFE, ARMH and UPFE. These days, catching a Solid Cold is like finding a peice of hay in a needle stack. The majority of Solid Colds these days have been retired or upgraded/rebuilt under OT-37 or greater to make interchange rules. Rumor has it that many of the Solid Colds have been refurbished into the new UP Chilled Express cars. But that is another story. If anyone knows more on the whereabouts, history or even wants to trade photos of Solid Cold's feel free to drop me a line anytime."

50-pound bag of a vintage asbestos insulation, labeled as: Baldwin-Erhet-Hill (BEH) #1 Plus Insulating Cement. Although not specifically indicated on the bag itself, this vintage insulation material was lab-tested and confirmed to contain asbestos.
BEH was formerly known as Erhet Magnesia Manufacturing Company and was later acquired by Keene Corporation, but evetually declared bankruptcy due to overwhelming asbestos lawsuits.

This is one cheap but effective way of connecting the wire to the laser tube pin.
The insulation needs to withstand 25000-40000V (depending on power supply). We use a combination of shrink tubing and hot glue.
