Crazy Tuesday 29.7.2025

Knight Foundry, Sutter Creek, California, USA

 

A monotone version of a previous post. flic.kr/p/YsmyAG

The rest of the world uses a measuring system of 100 centimeters that equals 1 meter. That math is way too simple for Americans. The American way is to measure and add by 1/32 of an inch in order to help us practice our poor math skills.

 

Let's see: The gap between my existing refrigerator and the wall is exactly 3/32 of an inch wide, while the width of the refrigerator is 30 1/4" wide. So I can buy a new refrigerator that can be a maximum of how wide before I cannot squeeze it in the hole?

 

I mean, who wants to calculate that another home measures a gap of 2 centimeters while their big refrigerator is 1 meter wide (uhm, 1 meter is 100 centimeters, right?). So what would be the maximum width for a replacement refrigerator?

 

No, I'll take the American system. The next generation will thank us for keeping it. It keeps us sharp. 12 inches to a foot. 3 feet to a yard. 5,280 feet to a mile, which is 1,760 yards.

For Crazy Tuesday!, I went investigating in our very messy tool drawer and found this mini "sculpture". It had created itself around a random magnet. I just clamped onto it with a well-worn wrench, and voila! (Background is a sateen coat of mine.)

For Crazy Tuesday! "Tools"

This is a selection of the tools I used this week replacing an outside light.

Cropped to fit Macro Mondays guidelines

#MacroMondays

New tool day!

 

I've been fortunate to have access to a full range of frame prep tools, but having these in house will help production speed.

 

Great mix of Park, Cyclus and Stein tools.

Huntington Beach, California

 

A young skilled surfer tests the waves on a summer morning in Huntington Beach which is also know as Surf City USA.

 

The morning was overcast and so the water did not display its usual clarity and color. The advantage though is the lack of strong shadows on the surfer's face. Wave Tools happens to be a brand of surfboard. It is not my intention to advertise for them, but thought that in this photo, the board provided both an interesting commentary and a splash of needed color.

To friends with Ricoh GRs, firmware updates just released, includes an updated zone focus feature. With new firmware and update, you won't need either duck tape or safety wire. ;0)

The "Craftsman" rotary tool is actually made by Dremel.

of another of my loves...

gardening.

 

what can i say?

its one of the most calming, rewarding experiences i know.

 

when i'm in my garden...

physically...

or mentally planning...

i can get lost for hours.

 

if i go outside to pull one weed...

i look at my watch to see an hour has passed...

especially if i've got my ipod and am performing for the neighbors.

 

today...

i walked along the perimeter of my garden...

and discovered that i have tomatoes on a few of my plants.

i was ecstatic!

 

i went back inside...

grabbed my camera...

and proceeded to take photos of tomatoes and flowers...

just beginning to bloom.

 

it began to rain...

and since i hadn't had my fill of gardening yet...

i came inside, created this photo...

and then proceeded to plant the basil seeds that were given to me with the pot.

Each specialty has its own special tools, which must have been conceived and made out of experience?

Bettering the tools all the time for the job?

Here, two specialists, Willem Vermandere and his woodcuts and Vincent Flachet, a luthier...

 

We had the honour to visit their workplace.

 

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Today at Crazy Tuesday Group the theme is: tools. Since it is an orange day At Color My World Daily Group, the color for today is orange… And of course, my tiny Mr. Teddy Bear is here since it is a Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday!! So orange tools and Teddy Bear day! How cool is that.

 

And who is a constant need of tools (of every sizes and shapes) and happens to be a huge fan of orange color? Mr. Kosmo himself!

 

Tools are truly important in space. You need them to open a bottle of wine, scratch your back, comb your hair before putting your helmet on or just to repair your spaceship. And since Mr. Kosmo is now a new proud owner of red space rocket bought on ebay, he needs his tools! Indeed, the red rocket was slightly used when he got it… and a little bit beaten up (more than specified in the ebay description!). Let just say that this red rocket needs a lot of TLC before going anywhere… But Mr.Kosmo is thrilled: for the second time in his life he feels like a real astronaut !! The first time he got that feeling was when he received his orange suit and put it on for the very first time…

 

Mr. Kosmo isn’t a handy man (but he is truly handsome under his helmet... so he doesn’t need to be handy...or that is what he likes to think) …. That is why he invited his friend Mr. Teddy Bear who has a very successful construction company. Mr. Teddy Bear isn’t handsome but he is truly handy, so this makes him quite a catch for the opposite sex! Ladies, Mr.Teddy Bear is able to repair anything ! Give him an axe, some scotch tape and a screw driver and he will build a you plane or a spaceship !

 

Of course, since there is no gravity in space, it is very important to keep everything, including your tools and yourself, glued to the ground. And then the reparation of the red space rocket can begin. Good luck Mr. Kosmo and Mr.Teddy Bear !!!

 

Have a beautiful orange, tools, teddy bear day!!! Happy Crazy Tuesday, Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday and Color My World Daily to all participants!!

 

Thank you so much for your support!!! I truly appreciate your positive energy!! I wish you a very happy and awesome day!!!

I was looking for something in the garden shed today and found the old brace and screwdriver. They belonged to my grandfather. The mini-surform was my father's. I thought the mixture of smooth and textured surfaces would make a nice still-life. Added a few screws for contrast.
