I work from home full time and have done for the past four years now. This is my current 'office'. It's a mess. In the background you can see one of my many wargames shelves (the others are down in the garage) and the big plastic boxes in which I store my femme clothes. I could probably build some kind of wardrobe solution in that corner, but to be honest I doubt I could fit in enough hanging space for everything.
Catchy idea, huh? Having worked an entire career in the System Safety field I cannot help but notice things that are wrong, especially if they can contribute to injury or property damage.
While on a meetup with the Flickr Club San Antonio Saturday, I saw this cable connected with clamps. I mentioned to Mark (Copasetic on Flickr) what the problem was and why. He suggested I photo it and post. So, here it is.
The title above is a catchy phrase that helps one remember how to attach clamps to wirerope. There are 3 parts to the clamp: the nuts, the U-bolt, and the saddle. The "live" part of the rope is that part that leads to the load. The "dead" part is just the end and supports nothing. This one is incorrectly attached. If you put much load on this rope, the gripping part (the U-bolt) is on the live wire. The dead end will then just slip through the clamp as if it were a slip-knot; thereby, releasing the load. In this case, though, there was a minimal amount of "load." Otherwise, I would have brought it to the attention of the manager in charge of this facility.
A point of interest (to me at least) is that I have done that many times and I can promise you that every manager I have ever brought problems to their attention has responded VERY Negatively! So, I seldom mention things unless it would result in injury. If it will just result in damage to property or equipment, I let it go and it can become a learning experience for the business, unless I am being paid to do so.
As a side note, notice the end of the cable apparently has been severed by a cutting torch. That could be a signal that other parts of the wire-rope has been heated which can alter the tensile strength of the rope, causing weak segments.
Wow, this description is way more than anyone wants to know. LOL

I kinda like how the lighting is on this one. I can thank all those happy little clouds floating by...
Seen working on the Highway 41 project in Oshkosh, WI on June 28, 2011. This portion of the project includes a new interchange between HY41 and HY45 just north of Lake Butte de Morts.

My mom and I swap trades every now and then. I make her a letterhead and she sews me a work apron. SWEET!
heading home from work recently, view down from Southbridge to the Cowgate at the lower part of the Old Town. This is an entire block which was destroyed by a huge fire about a decade ago. Arguments have raged since then about what sort of building would replace the old one, some architects arguing it is a rare chance for a modern building in the area, others (rightly, I think) saying there are plenty of other parts of the city where you can build a modern construction, but the heart of the historic Old Town isn't one of them.
Like many parts of the multi-level Edinburgh from the bridge you might have thought this was a two or three storey building opening onto the street but a glimpse down beneath the bridge (which is lined with buildings so many don't realise it is a bridge) and see more levels descending beneath. Edinburgh is good at playing tricks like this! The old building was home to a major Fringe venue and many artist's studios on lower levels and the university higher up, everything ruined by the fire, sadly. Improvised these quick shots on the way home from work, dark here by half past four now, jammed the camera in the railings of the bridge, angling it down and hoping it would hold it steady enough to get a couple of reasonable shots, clicked several, most useless but these three came out not too bad, considering
Farmers Grain Co-Op, Ogden, Utah tear down - Study failure. April 2024.
Elevators shot with Miniature Speed Graphic from about 1945 based on serial numbers. Shot with Graflex Optar 90mm f/6.3 lens in Rapax shutter. Shot on AGFA Aviphot 200 from about 2006 / 2007 at ISO 125. Developed in Kalogen 1:100 - Usually the tank held 800 ml so 8ml developer and 792ml distilled water.
Stand developed for 1 hour at 70 degrees F, with one rotation at 30 minutes. Development appears to be accurate, all problems considered.
This started as an experiment to develop 70mm film without a reel -- because I have some 3 1/2 inch rolls I want to develop. The first experiment was almost a complete failure and the second one was maybe worse. After those I realized I wanted some shots of the elevators before they tore it down, so I shot another roll and developed it on a conventional reel. And, so the problems began. The 70mm Mamiya back is hammered - one reason I got it for next to nothing. No working counter, door is funky, everything scarred - however, that kind of made it just a basic back. The film advances with one crank of the winder and has plenty of space between the frames. The lock doesn't work so you can advance the film all you want, and you can take multiple exposures.
So, the back opened up mid roll the first time, however the roll is in a magazine inside the holder so that was minimal. I forget sometimes to close the lens, which causes multiple, and unintentional, exposures of varying degree when you set the focal plane shutter.
Finally, my last roll, which I thought would be great, I again forgot to put the dark slide in or close the lens between shots a couple of times and had a number of strange exposures. Also when I first got there, I shot 3 or 4 pictures without advancing the film! LOL awesome.
Then, I was using an old FED daylight developing reel - which handles up to 116 film / 70 mm, and after I properly loaded the film and put the lid on, the lid rose back up when I was initially rinsing the film, causing some fogging and extra exposure. SO, to make a long story longer -- Every roll I shot doing this had some kind of problem or failure. Either in camera, or in darkroom. Someone said maybe the shots didn't work because the place is haunted. Probably.
So here most of the shots are -- in all their failed glory. I started liking them so I decided to put them together and make a set. LOL
The Miniature Speed Graphic I purchased with no lens and a Mamiya Press back of some sort. I took off the back and it sat for a couple of years because the graflok back I acquired was not a perfect match for the screw hole reinforcements. (Because the original Miniature Speeds had spring backs...) I finally reworked the back of the camera a bit and filled in the Graflok back where it might leak and I drilled new holes in the back and the camera back. All good. The focus scale seemed to be about 100mm and the stops were placed about 90 to 100mm. So I dragged out lenses until I found one that was the best fit for the rangefinder and the scale - the 90mm Optar. I am still going to mess with a 80mm and ?? My 101mm was off enough.
So, enjoy this set. I have a couple of favorites...
I just made a nice little work space for me in the dining room. We have no extra bedroom's for a craft room, so this works out nicely!
...horses.
