Making rain chains for Christmas. My Mom asked for rain chains (to be used instead of downspouts). So I got 109 ft of 8 guage copper ground wire and made them. Roughly the process is: strip wire, wind onto PVC mandrel (1 7/8 inner diameter / 2 1/4 outer diameter), mark the ridge-line with a sharpie, remove from mandrel and cut at mark line, flatten and clean up cut burrs, solder double-ring chain @ 52 links and 104 rings per 8.5 ft chain (there were 2 chains).
Wire was surplus from Skycraft Surplus (http://skycraftsurplus.com/) at I-4 and Fairbanks Ave. in Orlando

Jubilee USA held an event to urge the government to "break the chains of debt" at Murrow park, Friday, October 8, 2010.
The chain that wouldn't stay on.
To Schleck (verb); used when failure toÂÂ check something results in something falling off, andÂÂ others having to wait for you as a consequence. As in,ÂÂ "I forgot to schleck my chain tension and it fellÂÂ off under strain", or "If i'd schleckedÂÂ the pave around Spa I might have trained on it a bitÂÂ more so I didn't fall off in the race :)
Johan Bruyneel said, "Andy didn't wait for Contador in the cobblestones either. It's proof that everything in cycling can change from one moment to the next. Schleck gained valuable time on Contador because AC had a puncture on the cobblestone stage. Schleck wasn't a sportsman on that day, so why should he expect favors from Contador today? When Armstrong crashed on the cobbles did Schleck ask his team to slow down the peloton and wait? "
I have a thing for fences. Fences are designed to keep things out or to keep things in. Fences are a challenge to find out what's on the other side, what's beyond that someone, somewhere, doesn't want you to see or know about. The fact that the locks remain on a fence that was put up decades ago is even more intriguing to my curious mind.
