Out for a few hours last weekend, saw a lot of fun pieces, and had issues with freights that kept stopping on the tracks for 30-40 minutes at a time, blocking the other tracks. Why!! I can only imagine what I missed that passed by on the other side of a parked train. I feel like I need to put a sign out there in giant letters that says "KEEP IT MOVING!!!". Oh well. Like I said, I saw some great pieces, and didn't die.
2000 Toyota Rav4. Just an example of every day challenges as a mechanic in the rust belt.Step 1: use chipping hammer to knock off rust. step 2: drill out remains of cotter pin. step 3: pound socket 3 sizes smaller than original nut onto rusted nut and hope it comes off. step 4: if all else fails use cutting torch to cut nut/stud off. step 5: prepare speech to customer for the increased cost of repairs.
The ideal is to find things that have rusted naturally, but that’s not always possible. I decided to try a new rust effect product on some items laying around the house, to see what would happen. As you can see this rust effect product works very well on plastic, wood or even glass. Also possible to paint with it. Have a good fun.

ODC - RUST - 30th September - 5th October 2024 - There used to be a cannery around this, husband thinks it was some kind of ice machine for the cannery!
Went out via Cooroy this morning to photograph some rusty farm equipment. After that I saw this cute Kelpie outside the Noosa Library in Wallace Park, Queensland.
She looks better than the farm equipment :-) A little sad, having to wait outside on her own.
The Kelpie is an Australian sheep dog successful at mustering and droving with little or no command guidance. They are medium-sized dogs and come in a variety of colours. Kelpies have been exported throughout the world and are used to muster livestock, primarily sheep, cattle and goats.
Robert Kaleski published the first standard for the Kelpie in 1904.

Feb. 16, 2025: Photography in Los Alamos, California, emphasizing rust. The community of about 900 is located in the Santa Ynez Valley.
The inner partition windows in the main shop are painted in metallic paint. These aren't the ones that face out, but ones between offices and rooms.
This metallic paint is RUSTING! I think I cheered out loud when I found this.
This is over 60 years old and hasn't rusted - stainless steel. Check out the stamp in the metal at ~6 o'clock. The tags give you an idea of it's identity.
Cedar apple rust (pathogen: Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae). The fungus alternates between Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) and mostly apple and crabapple. One of several fungi that complete the life cycle on two plant hosts; one in the cypress family and one in the rose family. With moist weather, these gaudy bright orange masses of gelatinous spores develop from galls, and galls swell to several times their original size. Spore masses are several inches in diameter, with a central core and radiating hornlike tendrils, and are highly visible during moist weather in mid-spring. Spores produced on the juniper host are blown during moist weather to the rosaceous hosts in mid-spring at a time when new growth has emerged. The fungus then causes leaf spots on upper leaf surfaces and while growing in the leaf two strains of the fungus mate and emerge as a new spore form on the lower leaf surface. These spores are then blown back to junipers in mid summer to fall, develop galled areas on the junipers over a one and a half year period and the cycle begins again. Windborne spread of spores between the hosts of several hundred yards is not unusual and spread can be a matter of miles.
These gelatinous globs were about 3-4 inches diameter and were all over trees near the Rhode Island coast.
