For Eric's birthday this year, we decided to stay in a hotel overnight in Wendover. On our way then, we decided to stop off at the Bonneville Salt Flats where we played around for a bit before heading to our hotel.

Last night I was going to go out with my roommate, but we discovered that the tire was flat. Instead we had a friend come to pick us up.

***My doll has been re-rooted.
PERSONAL FUN FACT: I apologize deeply to Miss Farrah. This poor dear had to wait nearly six months for me to finish her transformation. I bought her at the flea market in July of 2024--the same day we scored the "Tub of Tots." I spotted her on a table with mostly "manly" things (like tools and what not). There were three dollies, all from the 70s. Farrah in particular drew me over. I immediately recognized her large Mego body and the white jumpsuit she was wearing. Colleen had no idea what doll she was, but knew it was some sort of homely celebrity that I just HAD to have. I was kind of nervous. I had that gut feeling she'd be really expensive or a great deal. To my greatest delight, the seller said she was $3. As I was counting out my money, he told me I could have the other two dolls as well, for $5 altogether (that included Farrah). Did I need the other Beauty Secrets Barbie and the Charlie's Angel's doll? Technically no, as they were both duplicates and weren't wearing their proper attire. But I felt sorry for them being in such ragged, filthy shape. So I adopted all three ladies. Anyways, around that same time, like a few days later, we were gifted the "Biggies & Barbies Lot." So it made sense to wash everybody together. I had a ton of dolls to get through. I didn't think much about Farrah. Sure, I didn't own a Mego doll before, but nothing about her seemed remarkable. She cleaned up easily, and I tossed her into the boil wash bowl without any second thoughts. Her hair wasn't actually that bad looking to begin with, but I thought the hot water would help it look better. I was so very misguided. As soon as I plucked her from the boil wash bowl to comb her out, I knew something had gone disastrously wrong. Her hair was shriveled up to her scalp...I'd never seen anything like that. It wasn't burned, as I initially was scared of. Instead, it shrank much like kanekalon does, but to the extreme. I was able to smooth out what was still sticking out of her head. But there was nothing that could be done to pull out what had shrunk INSIDE her head. My only option was to give her a re-root. I felt absolutely awful about this...like I had ruined poor, pitiful Farrah. Since I had a lot of projects going on, I set her aside to sort out later. I didn't exactly forget about Miss Fawcett, but as time went on, she wasn't on my priority list. After finishing our Flickr update project in early 2025, it was time to focus on other things. It was only fair to re-root Farrah. It only took me about four hours all said and done (from start to finish, including styling and removing the old hair). While she still isn't entirely thrilled with having to wait so long for her new locks, Farrah does seem much more satisfied with this saran mane. She's actually quite a striking doll without the porcupine looking shrunken tresses she sported before. This apparently is a common problem with Mego dolls, so now I know to be more mindful of the water temperature in the future event I get another!
Flat-coat? What flat-coat? I don't see any flat-coats in this prairie, do you?
Zephyr thinks she is so well hidden. I won't tell her any differently.
Better large on black (just click photo).
The seam finishes on these boxers are all flat-felled; thus there are no seams against the skin! It is a wonderful pattern.
I made this pair from scraps of yardage, and two other pair (a purple and a blue stripe) from scraps a friend gave me. Very FRUGAL boxers. They take a while to make but they are great and could be done by a beginner. The pattern is from Timberline Press and it's a favorite of mine; they also have an adult version.
Dutch Flat, established around 1851 as a California Gold Rush mining camp high on the Bear River, was named after German brothers Joseph and Charles Dorbach, who set up a general store and way station. Unlike most of the Gold Rush era towns in the state, Dutch Flat had never suffered a devastating fire that wiped out most of its downtown (though the First Chinatown burned down in Sept 10, 1887 and in 1898 several public buildings burned down, both suspected to be from arson). Consequently the small downtown seen here has several buildings dating from the early 1850s.
As the first large town to the West of Emigrant Gap, Dutch Flat became the site of surveying expeditions by Theodore Judah of the Central Pacific Railroad for the final Transcontinental route. Enthusiastically pushed by locals, the route East was mapped to indeed pass by the town. Many Californians vocally opposed the "Great Dutch Flat Swindle", thinking the route was impassible and that the rail lines would stop at the town and force travelers to cross over the Sierras by company stagecoaches, but the First Transcontinental Railroad indeed came by, the construction work making Dutch Flat one of the largest cities in the state in the 1860s, with a population of 6000, 3500 Chinese. However as the railroads went further East, Dutch Flat began to decline in importance.

Got a flat tire in Old Town Cottonwood yesterday. Actually, I'm not sure where I got it, but Old Town was where I noticed it, all "Ssssssssss" noisy and deflating. Ugly sight to see. And a big loud "Damn!"
The spare in the trunk tends to lose air, so it's generally flat too, and of no help at all. Chad came to my rescue with an air pump. He said, "You have three minutes worth of air. Go!" It was a white knuckle drive, but the tire held long enough for me to make it the two miles back home. This morning we pumped it up again to get it up to the Clarkdale Classic where hopefully my mechanic will have the tire repaired tomorrow.
Note: it was the valve stem. Broken and leaking. $5.00 fix.
